How to review your Scripture Memory verses
So you’re about to begin your Scripture Memory Project. What’s the most powerful thing you can do so that your efforts will succeed?
REVIEW!
It’s that simple.
Reviewing your Scripture Memory verses each day is the single most powerful thing you can do so to make your Scripture Memory Project succeed.
It would be fun if the answer were more exotic:
Use this never-before revealed secret technique, and your success will be guaranteed!
You can’t even buy a solution:
Buy my product, and your success will be guaranteed!
Nope, reviewing your verses each day is the key.
I want to share with you what has worked for me. It is a very simple system.
It is divided into three stages. That way it can match wherever people are at in their Scripture Memory Project:
ONE STACK
If you’re just starting out in Scripture Memory, the list of verses that you’ll want to review each day will be obvious.
Each day, you’ll review all the verses you’ve memorized.
|
STACK 1 All your verses |
Verses will gradually accumulate, and you’ll just keep reviewing them all.
If you’re memorizing one verse a week, as I suggest in my simple Scripture Memory Project, you’ll soon have a dozen.
TWO STACKS
As your number of verses grows, so too does the amount of time it takes to review them.
At some point, you’ll have more verses to review each day than you have time available. Then what?
Then you split them into two stacks:
|
STACK 1 Your current verses |
STACK 2 Your other verses |
Stack 1. Current
These are the verses you are working on nowadays.
You might have 10-20 verses in your Current stack.
Review them all each day.
Stack 2. Other
These are the verses you had memorized prior to your Current verses.
Review about ten per day. Over the course of a few days or weeks, you’ll cycle through them all. Then start over.
THREE STACKS
As you keep adding more and more verses, once again, you’ll bump into a limit.
It is time to separate your Scripture Memory verses into three stacks:
|
STACK 1 Your current verses |
STACK 2 Your recent verses |
STACK 3 Your legacy verses |
Stack 1. Current
These are the verses you are working on nowadays.
You might have 10-20 verses in your Current stack.
Review them all each day.
Stack 2. Recent
These are the verses you had memorized prior to your Current verses.
Review about ten per day. Over the course of a few days or weeks, you’ll cycle through them all. Then start over.
Stack 3. Legacy
This is a new stack. It has all the rest of your verses.
Review about ten per day. Over the course of a few weeks or months, you’ll cycle through them all. Then start over.
This Legacy stack can hold dozens of verses. Or hundreds. Or thousands.
