Trials and Temptations

 

Consider it pure joy, 

my brothers and sisters, 

whenever you face trials of many kinds, 

because you know 

that the testing of your faith  

produces perseverance. 

Let perseverance finish its work 

so that you may be mature and complete, 

not lacking anything. 

James 1:2-4

This is a lengthy passage to memorize. Think about it. Break it down in your mind. It flows nicely and makes perfect sense. Work at it and see if you can't do it. I think you can. And it will be very meaningful in the future because you know it by heart.

Spend the week focusing on this scripture: 

• Read the verse in your Bible. 
• Read the passage before and after it. 
• Write it in your journal. 
• Ask the Lord to show you how it applies to your life. 
• Put it on a piece of paper and post it in a prominent place in your home so that you can see it often. 
• Put the words to music. Make up a tune or use one you already know. Singing always helps in the memory process. It's a left brain / right brain thing. 
• Always memorize the scripture reference with the verse so you can remember where to find it in the Bible.
