Golden Words by David Jeremiah

Wednesday, April 11 Golden Words    And treasure my commands within you…Write them on the tablet of your heart. Proverbs 7:1, 3    Memorizing Bible verses isn’t hard; it’s a matter of learning one word at a time until a particular verse is installed in your mind. Nothing is more powerful, practical, and personality-changing. Nor is there a better weapon in spiritual warfare than the Sword of the Spirit.

When Satan tempts you to worry, quote Philippians 4:6: “Be anxious for nothing.” When tempted to speak rashly, remember James 1:19: “Be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath.” When you awaken in the night with problems nagging at your mind, begin reciting Psalm 46:1, “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.”    One way of keeping track of your Bible memory verses is to write them on cards or in a small notebook. As you learn new verses and review older ones, your cards or note pages will become as valuable as a stack of hundred dollar bills—more so—for, “more to be desired are they than gold” (Psalm 19:10).    The internalized truths of God’s Word keep us mentally healthy. It’s the greatest secret I know to personal resiliency. Robert J. Morgan, in 100 Bible Verses Everyone Should Know by Heart
