“Until I Memorized…”
APRIL 22, 2024
For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.
Mark 10:45
Recommended Reading: Mark 10:41-45
In her book Unseen, Sara Hagerty wrote of how she volunteered to work at a Christian camp when she was seventeen. Her job was in the dining hall. Amid the hard work, crew leaders assigned Bible verses for the teens to memorize, beginning with Mark 10:45. “This verse was new to me,” Sara said. “I hadn’t known that service was part of the whole Jesus deal I’d signed up for…until I memorized this verse”—one that has never left her.1
Is that a verse you’ve memorized? Ask yourself: What is the most recent Bible verse I’ve learned by heart? If it’s been awhile, consider jumpstarting the process with Mark 10:45.
Studying the Word of God is important, but so is Scripture memorization. If we know verses by heart, God will bring them to mind at times of service, fatigue, anxiety, fear, temptation, or testing. The Lord gives us all we need through His Word, and we must hide it in our hearts.
If we could be induced to keep up the habit of committing to memory portions of Scripture, what a blessing it would be!
