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

Navigator Scripture Memory Plan

In the first set for memory, our focus is on the Christian Life. To visually grasp this, think of your life as a four-spoked wheel.  The very center of the wheel (the hub) is Christ. The four spokes consists of the four aspects of a believer's life. Two of these spokes deals with our relationship with God (the word and prayer). The other two spokes deals with our relationship with people.  The spoke of fellowship deals with our relationship with other believers, while the spoke of witnessing deals with our relationship with non-believers. The outside of the wheel (where the rubber meets the road) is our obedience to Christ.


So, let's get started.  But before you do, please keep the following in mind:

  • Remember, work on no more than two verses a week.
  • Memorize the scripture reference and the headings!
  • Read the verse in context 
  • Reflect upon it throughout the week 
  • When you feel you have the first verse down, go to the second.
  • Review previously learned verses - this will become more crucial later. 
  • Do not attempt to do more than two a week. Most people who give up do so because they attempt to do too much too soon. One a week works too. Three or more does not.
