Studying the Scriptures

Good morning, everyone! This morning, my devotional was about studying the scriptures.  It really wasn't about daily devotions or long Bible studies, though.  It was about meditating on a verse or passage about three to four times daily, similar to taking time out for meals.  In fact, one of the reference verses was from Job 23:12, which says "I have not departed from the commands of his lips; I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my daily bread."

I'm going to assign myself a personal challenge, starting now.  I'm going to pick seven verses, write each one on a separate index card (recipe card, even!) and meditate on one per meal until I have all seven of them memorized.  Then, I will keep repeating the cycle until I am led to do something else.  For me, it's not about the number of verses I can memorize, but about how I can build a firmer foundation in the Lord.  Do you want to join me in this challenge?
