Know the Word

I’m getting older. Memorization is harder work than it used to be. I fell out of the habit of memorizing Scripture.

This familiar verse popped up in my Bible reading:

Psalm 119:11 (ESV)
I have stored up your word in my heart,
that I might not sin against you.

God had a little chat with me about it.

Do you still sin?

Lord, You know that I do.

Then why stop memorizing my word?

Why indeed? 

Teach me your Word, O Lord. I want to know it by heart.
