Saturday, July 10, 2010So tomorrow I, and a couple of my cousins, are starting a Scripture memory group. Each week one of us chooses a verse for the group to memorize together, and shares a few thoughts on why they chose that passage, etc., etc. This week it will be my turn to pick, and I have selected I Kings 8:56 as the first verse for our group to study:
"Blessed be the LORD, that hath given rest unto his people Israel, according to all that he promised: there hath not failed one word of all his good promise, which he promised by the hand of Moses his servant."
I love this verse because it tells us to just what extent God keeps His promises. He won't do just most of what He says He will; He does it all. If He says He'll meet all our needs in Christ Jesus, then He'll meet all of our needs in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19). If He says He'll never leave or forsake us, then He'll never leave or forsake us (Hebrews 13:5). Simply put, God doesn't lie, and He will fulfill every promise He has ever made.
Just as Solomon testified that not one word of all the Lord's good promise had failed to come to pass, we also can say with assurance that God has always been, and will ever be, faithful to keep His Word. As the Scriptures say, it is impossible for Him not to (Hebrews 6:18). When all else is falling down around us, the promises of God are a sure and steady foundation, and we can stand upon them with confidence.

Dakota,
It's really cool to hear about Scripture Memory group. Not many people put too much effort into scripture memorization even though it has some great benefits.
If you or your friends are interested a couple of friends and I have created some Scripture Memorization Journals to help people do just what you are talking about.
You can check them out by visiting the store via www.onenineteeneleven.com
We haven't officially launched yet, but I saw your post and thought you might like to find out about it and maybe give us some feedback on the journals. If you are interested let me know and I can give you a little promo code for a discount.
If you're on twitter you can follow me and the launch of the company at www.twitter.com/jasonlazzaro
I know you're going to grow by memorizing scripture, so keep us posted on what you're learning.
