We need to remember why Scripture memory is so vitally important for our walk with the Lord, so here are seven reasons that you need to store God’s word up in your heart.
A billboard near my hometown displayed a Bible with the caption, “When all else fails, read the instructions” and many pastors have described the Bible as “God’s manual for life.” While these sound like fine ways to describe Scripture, they miss something very important. The last time you put together a piece of furniture and used the instructions to guide you, what did you do with the instructions once you were finished? You probably threw them in the garbage or filed them away in a drawer in case you needed them again. In the same way, I have a repair guide for my car which I only consult when I have a problem. I have never known anyone who read instructions from IKEA and worshipped the author.
