Extended Memorization Of Scripture: 2 PeterSample

There is no more useful discipline to this careful process of verse by verse meditation than memorization. Memorization is not the same as meditation, but it is almost impossible for someone to memorize a passage of Scripture without somewhat deepening his or her understanding of those verses. Plus, once the passage is memorized, a lifetime of refection is now available through ongoing review.

While driving on long trips, walking on beaches, or conversing with friends, memorized verses can flow from you and cause a deepening of understanding.

Recite yesterday’s verse, 2 Peter 2:6, ten times, being sure to include the verse number. Again, you should look at the screen if you need to refresh your memory. Old verses next, altogether: Recite 2 Peter 1-2:6 together once, being sure to include the verse numbers.

Now, recite your new verse. Read 2 Peter 2:7 out loud ten times, looking at each word as if photographing it with your eyes. Be sure to include the verse number. Then cover the screen and recite the verse ten times.
