Some time ago I made an effort again to learn verses from the Bible by heart.  (From the age of 22- 25 I attended Bible school and we were told to memorize Bible verses, but I did no do well at all.) I commit verses to memory and then write them down without looking them up in the Bible, one verse on one page. I collect them in a ring binder as seen on the image. It is good to stick to one translation, NIV for example.

And this is how the Lord encouraged me:

Verses from the BIBLE

At the present time I am reading the book THE PASTOR’S WIFE by Sabina Wurmbrand and there she says while in prison she wished that she would have learnt more of the Bible by heart. They did not have a Bible. They hungered for the Bible more than bread. They received hope, comfort and life from the Word of God.

Here are some of the verses you find in my ring binder: Second Chronicles 20:12; First Corinthians 3:11; Second Corinthians 3:17.

And this is the verse I really like: “For no one can lay ony foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.” You find that verse in First Corinthians 3:11!
