Have you noticed that part of the memory verse is in darker type? We’ll explain why.
We are happy that many of you learn these verses every week. Memorizing God’s holy Word is very important. Can you think of some reasons why? One very important reason is given to us in Psalm 119:1111Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee. (Psalm 119:11). It says, “Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against Thee.” If a verse has been learned, the Lord Jesus can bring it into your mind just when you need it most - to help you do or say what is right and what will please Him.
Some of you children probably learn these verses by yourselves. Some of you younger ones may have someone help you learn them. Perhaps there are some very young children who are only able to learn part of the verse each week. Since our memory verse this week is longer, we have printed in darker type a part for beginners to learn. We do this each time we have a longer verse.
We hope this will encourage everyone, even the very young, to memorize Scripture.
