Just keep reading. Just keep memorizing. Just keep going. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I doing something wrong because when I came to this realization this was EXTREMELY discouraging!  Ever been involved in a holiday bible club or sunday school for children?  They always have a memory verse, which is taught by repetition, repetition, repetition, repetition and guess what repetition.  Select a verse, write it out in full with chater and verse. Then read it out loud three or four times, then close your eyes or turn the card over and try to say it. Check where you correct, try again, three or four times.  Now put the card in your wallet, or stick it on the dashboard and while stationary in trafic practise it, do it again while in the lift, the toilet, waiting for a bus, a train. Doing this regularly will build up a collection of verses which youcan review every couple of weeks.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And put what you learn into practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't just read, but study. Read commentaries. Pray for wisdom and understanding as you keep it up. I'm watching one episode of "Look at the Book" on Youtube each day.
