**Daily Devotional**
A New York Times article linked the increase of computer storage with the decrease of data in the human mind. Our electronic aids now remember phone numbers, driving directions, and other information we used to learn by repeated use. In schools, memorization and oral recitation are disappearing from the curriculum. We have become, according to the Times, ?products of a culture that does not enforce the development of memory skills.?
Yet never have we as followers of Christ been in greater need of hiding God?s Word in our hearts (Ps. 119:9-11). Scripture memory is more than a helpful mental exercise. The goal is to saturate our minds with God?s truth so that our lives will conform to His ways. The psalmist wrote: ?Teach me, O Lord, the way of Your statutes, and I shall keep it to the end. . . . Turn away my eyes from looking at worthless things, and revive me in Your way? (Ps. 119:33,37).
Why not begin committing Scripture to memory? Daily consistency and review are keys to success. And just like physical exercise, this spiritual discipline is enhanced when done with a small group or with a friend.
Let?s not forget to remember and follow the life-giving wisdom of God?s Word. ? David C. McCasland
God?s Word will change your life
If you will do your part
To read, to study, and obey,
And hide it in your heart. ?Sper
Let the Bible fill your mind, rule your heart, and guide your life.
