The Daily | Scripture & Memorization

Check out this quote from Dallas Willard in the Daily. As I've been reading the Psalms in the Divine Offices, it is so evident how the Psalmists always had the Word of the Lord before them, in their hearts and on their minds. We continue to affirm the incredible power of a life of prayer and Scripture, especially reading together as a community. There are a couple of us that do the Divine Offices, and some who do the Once-A-Day approach. If you are on a computer a lot, the Divine Offices Calendar literally makes it two clicks away to read a short section of Scripture and say a prayer. You can also print either out when the resources posting in Urban Monks every week.

A couple of us (well, Kate and I) have begun weekly Scripture memory and if anyone is interested in joining in, let us know!! We are starting with Colossians 3, about 4 verses a week.

All of these things are not ends in and of themselves. They are merely practices that train us in becoming more and more like Jesus - becoming his disciples. It is sometimes easy to forget that!
