Proverbs 30:5
Isn’t this awesome? Look at all of the verses you have memorized! Can you tell a difference in your life as some of these spring to mind in certain situations? Proverbs 15:1 was on my mind a lot this week as my schedule was full of activities I am not used to. I was also able to share it with a friend who talked with me about a relationship she deals with. It’s encouraging to see how scripture memory helps me in my every day life. Even so, I must admit that I totally slacked this past week, so I will be memorizing Proverbs 30:5 and John 13:34 this week. I hope you all keep up the good work!
