In 2011, I developed the habit of daily Bible reading. In 2012, by the grace of God, I hope to develop the habit of always being in the process of memorizing a passage of scripture. For now, I will choose passages as God directs, and I plan to focus on chapters and books. Yes, books!
I have set up a page, which can be accessed in the sidebar, where I will list the passages I am working on and when I complete them. I am starting with Psalm 16.
Following are several online resources I encountered in the past year that have prompted this plan. I encourage you to check them out:

Following are several online resources I encountered in the past year that have prompted this plan. I encourage you to check them out:
- John Piper's sermon, Why Memorize Scripture?
- "The Importance of Filling Your Life with Scripture" at Provocations and Pantings blog.
- Another post by Timmy Brister on his plan to memorize the book of Ephesians.
- I also watched a great online message by John Piper, which he gave to a group of students several years ago, but I cannot find it! If anyone knows of the video to which I am referring, PLEASE let me know! Piper begins his message by quoting Psalm 130.
I have stored up your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you.
Psalm 119:11
