Failing Memory

Turn away my eyes from looking at worthless things, and revive me in Your way. – Psalm 119:37


A New York Times article linked the increase of computer storage with the decrease of data in the human brain. Our electronic aids now remember phones numbers, driving directions, and other information we used to learn by repeated use. In schools, memorization and oral recitation are disappearing from the curriculum. We have become, according to the Times, “product of a culture that does not enforce the development of memory skills.”

Yet never have was as followers of Christ been in greater need of hiding God’s Word in our hearts (Ps. 119:9-11). Scripture memory is more than a helpful mental exercise. The goal is to saturate our minds with God’s truth so that our lives will conform to His ways. The psalmist wrote: “Teach me, O Lord, the way of Your statutes, and I shall keep it to the end… Turn away my eyes from looking at worthless things, and revive me in Your way” (Ps. 119:33,37).

Why not begin committing Scripture to memory? Daily consistency and review are keys to success. And just like physical exercise, this spiritual discipline is enhanced when done with a small group or with a friend.

Let’s not forget to remember and follow the life-giving wisdom of God’s Word. – David C. McCasland


God’s Word will change your life
If you will do your part
To read, to study, and obey,
And hide it in your heart. – Sper

Let the Bible fill your mind, rule your heart, and guide your life.

Psalm 119:33-40

Teach me, Yahweh, the way of your statutes. I will keep them to the end. Give me understanding, and I will keep your law. Yes, I will obey it with my whole heart. Direct me in the path of your commandments, For I delight in them.

Turn my heart toward your statutes, Not toward selfish gain. Turn my eyes away from looking at worthless things. Revive me in your ways. Fulfill your promise to your servant, That you may be feared.

Take away my disgrace that I dread, For your ordinances are good. Behold, I long for your precepts! Revive me in your righteousness.

yea... i almost had forget how much Jesus had suffered for me 2000 years ago... I always thank God for given me a good memory... which i can memorize things easily... but now, i have to apologize for not using good of it...

may God forgive me... i will be baptist this coming saturday night... however, the god-parents which i chosen have trouble and cant attend... two among three... i started wondering is it God's plan for not letting me to baptist now? or the one i choose is not suitable?... anyway, my God-parents now is Pastor Grace, Joanne, and Edwin... three of them... 2 is my leader in cell group, and another is our youth pastor... :P

i do let God work now.... if this is not the person he prefer for me, I know He will change it... who let the goat go out from him, he will be leading them in front... and i am thinking now, who is my earthly leader... beside Father in heaven?...
