Memorization takes this process even deeper, and when God's Word lives in our hearts through memorization, the Holy Spirit can bring it to mind during times of temptation, decision-making, and daily challenges. The memorized verse becomes a tool the Spirit uses to interpret life's situations through God's truth.

“It is of the LORD's mercies that we are not consumed, Because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: Great is thy faithfulness.” ‭‭ If only we knew the value of every single day, like someone with terminal cancer, we would live differently, we would pray differently, we would be grateful that today we are part of the land of the living and today we can rejoice in the abundant mercy of God.

When we sin, we do not lose our salvation, we lose the joy of our salvation. Psalm 51:12 actually says “Your salvation”—salvation belongs to the Lord. If it were in our hands, we could lose it, but since it’s in God’s hands, it is eternally secure.

For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren”

“Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.” ‭‭ But it starts with you taking a step toward God and He will take a step toward you. If I didn’t speak to my wife for a week what would my marriage look like? Terrible! Yet sometimes we think we can ignore God for weeks and expect a spiritual breakthrough. The School of Life teaches us to draw near first, and then we will see a breakthrough.
