Memorizing Scripture

I am trying to memorize, Proverbs 16: 32: "He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty, And he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city." It has helped so much to draw pictures! I drew a turtle for slow, a stick figure with muscles for mighty, a ghost for spirit, and buildings for city. Derrick has been teaching the kids the Presidents by having them draw pictures, such as a straight face for George Washington. He is learning Hebrew and said it is symbols. Another good verse related to anger is, "It is honorable for a man to stop striving, Since any fool can start a quarrel." Proverbs 20:3.

Memorizing scripture and writing it on your heart is so wonderful because you can think on it when you don't have a Bible around. When you are laying in your bed before you start your day or can't sleep at night...In the car on the go...Donald Whitney was talking about the benefits of it in his book, " Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life," and said little by little by meditating and memorizing the word you will see growth. He quoted Dallas Willard saying, " As a pastor, teacher, and counselor I have repeatedly seen the transformation of inner and outer life that comes simply from memorization and meditation upon Scripture."
