Failing Memory

ODB RADIO: Listen Now |  Download
READ: Psalm 119:33-40

Turn away my eyes from looking at worthless things, and revive me in Your way. —Psalm 119:37

A New York Times article linked the increase of computer storage with the decrease of data in the human mind. Our electronic aids now remember phone numbers, driving directions, and other information we used to learn by repeated use. In schools, memorization and oral recitation are disappearing from the curriculum. We have become, according to the Times, “products of a culture that does not enforce the development of memory skills.”

Yet never have we as followers of Christ been in greater need of hiding God’s Word in our hearts (Ps. 119:9-11). Scripture memory is more than a helpful mental exercise. The goal is to saturate our minds with God’s truth so that our lives will conform to His ways. The psalmist wrote: “Teach me, O Lord, the way of Your statutes, and I shall keep it to the end. . . . Turn away my eyes from looking at worthless things, and revive me in Your way” (Ps. 119:33,37).

Why not begin committing Scripture to memory? Daily consistency and review are keys to success. And just like physical exercise, this spiritual discipline is enhanced when done with a small group or with a friend.

Let’s not forget to remember and follow the life-giving wisdom of God’s Word.

God’s Word will change your life
If you will do your part
To read, to study, and obey,
And hide it in your heart. —Sper

Let the Bible fill your mind, rule your heart, and guide your life.

Bible in One Year: Isaiah 65-66; 1 Timothy 2

Looking at You

An elementary school student stands in line as U.S. and Iraqi Soldiers deliver
supplies to a school in the Radwaniyah area of Baghdad, Oct. 19. The Soldiers
handed out more than 150 book bags filled with pencils, notebooks and other
school supplies to underprivileged students, helping to foster learning and
academic achievement.

A little boy asks his father, “Daddy, how was I born?”

The father answers, “Well, son, I guess one day you will need to find out anyway!

Your Mom and I first got together in a chat room on Yahoo.

Then I set up a date via e-mail with your Mom and we met at a cyber-cafe.

We sneaked into a secluded room, and googled each other.

There your mother agreed to a download from my hard drive. As soon as I was ready to upload, we discovered that neither one of us had used a firewall, and since it was too late to hit the delete button.

Nine months later a little Pop-Up appeared that said;

You’ve Got Male!

> “Is your Dad home”? the farmer asked.
> “Sorry Sir, he isn’t” the boy replied. “He went into town.”
> “Well,” said the farmer, “Is your mum here”?
> “No, sir, she’s not here either. She went into town with Dad.”
>
> “How about your brother, Greg? Is he here”?
> “He went with Mum and Dad.”

> “Well,” said the farmer uncomfortably, “I really wanted to talk to your Dad.
> It’s about your brother Greg getting my daughter pregnant.”

> The boy considered for a moment.
