John 1: 14-16 {Bible to Brain to Heart Scripture Memory Challenge}

There is something so peaceful and comforting about having God’s Word hidden in my heart which is the main reason that I focus on choosing one passage of Scripture each month to focus and meditate on as well to memorize. God’s Word is the strongest weapon we have to fight off Satan’s attacks of doubt, fear, anxiety and a whole host of other negative attacks.

Today I’m pleased to announce the passage of Scripture that I (and hopefully you too!) will be focusing on this month. This month’s Bible to Brain to Heart memory verse is going to be John 1: 14-16, ESV version.

As one of my Grace Based Goals for January is to take part in the She Reads Truth study of John, to further simplify my life and really let the words of John penetrate in my heart as I study and read them this month, I’m choosing to memorizing a passage from John.

To help me memorize it I created a pretty printable to carry with me and place in a prominent location where I will be able to see it often. Last fall when I was working on studying Ephesian 1, I was introduced to the concept of using the first letter of each word as a memory prompt and aid, so I also created a John 1: 14-16 first letters card.

In the download below you will have 2 memory verse cards plus 2 first letters card.

The Bible to Brain to Heart scripture memory challenge is more than just memorizing scripture but also to reflect on it’s meaning and what God is saying through His words. So here is my plan for taking my memory verse from Bible to Brain to Heart using the S.O.A.P method:

• Scripture: I’ll spend the next few weeks reviewing the entire book of John following the She Reads Truth plan.
  
• Observations: Using my journal I’ll record any observations, a summary, or what God is speaking through me while reading
• Application: How does this scripture apply to my life?
• Prayer: Again using my journal I’ll record my prayers. Prayers for God to reveal His message to me through this scripture. Prayers for an understanding

Please don’t feel that in order for you to memorize John 1: 14-16 with me this month that you have to do the same thing that I am doing. I’m simply sharing my plan to help make God’s word more meaningful to me in my life.
