Week 17 Memory Verse

Abiding in Christ

 

 

Give thanks in all circumstances; 
for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.
1 Thessalonians 5:18

I find it easy to thank God for the good things in life--family, good jobs, health, etc. 

But we are supposed to be thankful in ALL circumstances. Like the death of family. Difficult job situations. Poor health

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.
