Update // Congratulations to our winners for this giveaway: Natalie, Dara, Beth, Stacey, Betty, Malisa, Beth, Rene, Marie, and Trish!
Let’s be honest, friends: memorization is hard work. If it’s not a catchy tune, bouncy rhyme, or quippy one-liner, so many of the words we hear and read go in one ear and out the other. We are bombarded by information at a dizzying rate, and very little of what is thrown at us is absorbed. We are balancing jobs and families and friends and commitments and social lives and at the end of the day, trying to memorize anything more complicated than your best friend’s phone number seems like too much to ask.
But what if, amidst all of the craziness of life, we were able to call to mind words that speak life and truth and peace? What if, in the middle of a day that has you needing chocolate and a good cry, you remembered words that changed your outlook, refreshed your soul, and gave you the strength to keep on keeping on?
This is what Scripture memorization does for us. It writes truth deep in our minds and hearts so we can hear it over the lies of the enemy. It keeps us focused on what God says when we are caught up in what the world is telling us.
While Beth Moore was writing Entrusted (which releases September 1 and is available for preorder now), she committed the entirety of 2 Timothy to memory. Sounds crazy hard, right? Check out the video below to hear some tips from Beth on how she memorizes Scripture.
Imagine what would happen if, as a community of women, we memorized a section of Scripture, allowing its truth to soak deep into our souls and irrevocably change the way we live and think and feel. Is this a challenge you’re willing to take?
Today, to aid in memorizing 2 Timothy, we’re giving away 10 sets of Scripture Cards to 10 lucky winners. To be entered to win, simply fill out the form below.
