Memorize for spiritual formation
Another profitable purpose for memorizing Scripture is for spiritual formation.
Dallas Willard, professor of Philosophy at the University of Southern California, wrote, “Bible memorization is absolutely fundamental to spiritual formation. If I had to choose between all the disciplines of the spiritual life, I would choose Bible memorization, because it is a fundamental way of filling our minds with what it needs.
Chuck Swindoll, prolific author and pastor, wrote, “I know of no other single practice in the Christian life more rewarding, practically speaking, than memorizing Scripture... No other single exercise pays greater spiritual dividends! Your prayer life will be strengthened. Your witnessing will be sharper and much more effective. Your attitudes and outlook will begin to change. Your mind will become alert and observant. Your confidence and assurance will be enhanced. Your faith will be solidified.”
These two men are among the highest respected spiritual growth people living. Do you want to grow in your character of God? Memorize Scripture as part of the game plan.
Tomorrow we'll look at aids to memorize
