Fear has been my companion for a long time... I've been learning about God's perfect love, and the fear has no place in my life. Your video today is a beautiful start to my day with new (to me...) verses to get me going! Thank you Karen!!!
This is encouraging, Karen! Will you remind me/us how you are going about this memorization process? It sounds like doing it this way really permeates your world! I need that too! :)
Wendy - *ahem* Yeah. Those fears are a 'given' for me. Another area in which God is leading me toward Truth!
Regarding how I chose my psalms - I did 139 at the suggestion of a friend. And over the past few months I have been keeping my eyes open for the next one I would do. 27 has been brought to my attention several times, so I just decided that's the one I would do now. And as I read through psalms, I make mental notes of ones I would like to memorize. (33 caught my attention a couple days ago, and 66 & 67 today. What'll that take me into, 2013? *grin*)
Sara - Yes! I memorize a new verse on the first and fifteenth of each month - and spend the following two weeks meditating on that verse. I think about it at various times throughout the day. And once or twice a day, I recite to myself all the verses I have learned so far - to keep it 'there'. I'm trying to do that with Psalm 139, too, so I don't forget it!
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with me! I will be responding to all comments left here. Please check back so we can continue the conversation.
