---MEDITATE AND MEORIIZE SCRIPTURE~~

--"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God --
---JOHN 1:1

--Back in college, when I first accepted Jesus, I was eager to learn all I could about this Man who forgave me and cleansed me of my sin. I was already an avid reader, so I dug into the Bible and read as much as I could, not understanding everything but enjoying the journey. I discovered different translations that gave me more insight and understanding; some used plainer words while others made stories out of every principle.

After while, I saw the value not only of reading the Word but also memorizing certain passages. I would get up at dawn, and while everyone was still asleep, I would stand in our little front hallway and repeat Scriptures aloud.

Little did I know that I was hiding Jesus's precious promises in my heart so that when trials and troubles came, I could rely on His Word. I built up up an arsenal of spiritual weapons to use instantly in those situations when searching for a Bible verse would not have been expedient or even possible. Now as I speak His Wore with authority, I know that He is with me and His Word will come to pass. ~~
