Psalm 119:11 -- I have hidden your word in my heart
that I might not sin against you.

Working Ahead...Working Behind?

At this point, it is possible that some of you are operating at a different pace than the rest of us. In fact, maybe there is no real pace established. Perhaps we are ALL in different places. That's okay. In case you have fallen behind, you can simply work at your own rate without feeling pressure to "pick up the pace". Others of you, may be doing the two a week, without feeling the need for an occasional week off for review. Therefore, you desire to keep plugging away. That works too.

My suggestion for either of these two groups would be to look to the column on the right-hand side. Click where it says "Navigator Scripture Memory Plan". The plan for the rest of the year is spelled out there. You can print that off and post it someplace. From this point on, you can work at a rate that works for you.

Now again, I would strongly recommend you don't go past two a week. Remember, it's not just a matter of memorization. It is memorization AND meditation. The more you meditate upon the verse throughout the week, the more likely the verse is to stay with you. But if you don't feel the need for the occasional week of review, you can check out the plan for the year, and work on ahead.

So, keep plugging away... any questions, thoughts, or comments? Feel free to contact me. My e-mail address is printed below. I don't claim to be an expert on the subject, but I've been involved with scripture memory since my college days (eh-hem) a few years back, so I do have some understanding of it.
