If it weren’t Scripture memory day, I wouldn’t have posted this fast after yesterday’s entry for anything on earth. If you didn’t get a chance to read Melissa’s post “Oh, Yes, Jesus Loves Me,” enter your memory verse here but be sure and go back and read the previous one. It was true ministry in every sense of the word. Thank you, Lis.
OK, Scripture Memory Team! Well, as it turns out for all of us, we really did need these verses this year, didn’t we? I’ve had a season I wasn’t expecting, packed with many challenges, concerns, and fears but, praise His glorious Name, it’s also been packed with a whole lot of Jesus. And that’s what I want, Girlfriend. More than anything on earth. Perhaps you’ll be able to tell from my selection this time that I am, once again, working on something in particular. I’m not just looking to memorize, Sister. I’m looking to change. Scripture memory alone will just make you arrogant. Lapping up those Scriptures like they are the only spring in your desert will make you different.
I’m doing two in tandem:
“I have resolved that my mouth will not sin.” Psalm 17:3b NIV
“Set a guard over my mouth, O Lord; keep watch over the door of my lips.” Psalm 141:3 NIV

My post didn't seem to make it here. I did memorize these last summer… I hope there aren't too many more missing… I did 22 of 24 verses and two were missing from the posts. If anymore are missing it'll look like I wasn't doing it all year and I was! I'm freaking out now – I have a hotel, plane ticket, rental car and have registered. I don't want to have messed this up by forgetting to post or having posts lost. I rarely checked to see if they made it up or not – I just trusted they did… Freaking!!!
Eph 3:16 – 21 (NIV)
16I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 18may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 19and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
20Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, 21to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
