Another neat way to memorize is to write out the first letter of each word in the verse. It gives you a prompt while not giving the answer. You have to work hard enough that it sticks. At a women's retreat a few months ago, we used alphabetic beads to make what was supposed to be a bracelet. I picked 1 Peter 3:15 which was so long I had to make it a necklace because it wrapped around my wrist twice. I had been trying, off and on, to memorize it, but the necklace did the trick.

Great devotional and plan, Kate! Have you heard of the husband/wife band, Poor Bishop Hooper? They have written a song for each of the Psalms. Like you mentioned, music is a great way to hide God’s word in our hearts.

Never heard of Poor Bishop Hooper. Wow - the song for Ps. 119 must be 20 minutes long! ha! Thanks so much for reading and then contributing to the conversation!

Funny you say that! They did divide it out as in the Bible.
