The dank basement was dark and it was one of my least favorite chores to venture into it to either grab something from the freezer or restart the dryer.  Only one thing made it even the least bit more bearable–reciting scripture.  I’d turn the corner to the basement stairs and creep down them all the while muttering, “The Lord is my shepherd,” or variations of, “For God so loved the world.”  They were some of the only scriptures I new at the time, but I knew their power and there was something calming about reciting them aloud when fear threatened to overwhelm.

I attended a private school and Bible memory was both expected and graded.  There are differing views on whether or not scripture memory should be a requirement, however I don’t think there is anything negative that can come from scripture memory.  Our brains are incredibly amazing systems, designed by and all-knowing God.  If we can do the legwork of memorizing the scripture, I’m confident that in times of need, God will allow those verses to resurface and aid us.

Armed with Truth makes temporary scripture tattoos to help kids (and moms!!!) {Ok, let’s just be honest–ANYONE could benefit from wearing these tattoos!} commit scripture to memory.  They have ten-packs for sale with topics such as missions, identity, and being Christlike.  They also have an awesome designer series which is more image-based.
