* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

MEMORY TIP OF THE WEEK:

CONSIDER THE FRUIT…realizing the awesome benefits of knowing the Word will motivate us to put forth great effort into memorization!

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

God’s Word provides wisdom (Ps 19:7), correction (Heb 4:12), hope(Rom 15:13), comfort (2 Cor 1:3-4), assurance (Rom 8:39), victory over temptation (Eph 6:17), power over sin (Ps 119:11), God’s view of success (Josh 1:8), growth in Christ (John 17:17), blessing (Luke 11:28), guidance (Ps 119:105) and more! May we desire all of this enough to prioritize knowing the Word… Holly

“His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence, by which he has granted to us his precious and very great promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world because of sinful desire.” – 2 Peter 1:3-4 (emphasis mine)

Meditating on God’s Word allows it to wash over us, cleanse us, refresh us, encourage, heal, teach and change us… change us to be more like He is. Desiring to behold His glory… Holly
