Memory Delight ( On the slope of Longs Peak in Colorado lie the ruins of a huge tree. Naturalists say that it stood for over 400 years. It had weathered thousands of storms and had been hit with lighting 14 times. At the end, an army of beetles attacked the tree and leveled it to the ground. This tremendous giant, that age had not withered, that lightning had not blasted, that storms had not subdued fell at last before beetles so small that a man could crush them between his forefinger and thumb. Many people survive rare storms and lightning blasts somehow but allow the beetles of worry, fear, stress, and tension to destroy their happiness and effectiveness. Its interesting to note that out of 773,692 words in the Bible, the word worry is not found. Worry is not in Gods vocabulary. The thing is, when you worry youre actually meditating. But youre meditating the things that disempower you. What you need to do is to meditate Gods word for it empowers you. Truth be told, scripture memorization and meditation develops a power within each Christian but they seldom use it. No wonder a lot of Christians are struggling in their jobs, relationships, health, and finances. Thats why were doing our best to encourage and teach you on how to develop the habit of memorizing Gods Word. If youre unhappy with the level of your faith and you cant feel Gods presence, its about time to step up and commit yourself in memorizing scriptures. Worry is a silent killer. It attacks you and disguises itself as practical thinking. And one successful worry repellant I know is scripture meditation. Thats because its impossible to worry and meditate Gods goodness at the same time. So take the time now and start memorizing Gods words
