Memorized Scripture Speaks

Busy days, keeping this Mama sometimes frazzled.

Sometimes at a loss for time with Him.

If I don’t stop. Take a moment to breath. A moment to see Him in my day. Well, the consequences are not pretty.

What would I do? If I didn’t have Scripture memorized to breath life into my soul during those seeming frazzled days?

Even now, as I sit here, disappointment washes over me. I have not had time to post, yet again. This practice of seeing Him in my days is something I have come to really enjoy doing. But I realize that one of the biggest things that has carried me through the past few days is the Scripture I have memorized. Some I have known since a child.

I have needed God’s Words:

be anxious for nothing…

rejoice always…

all things work together…

Oh, more times than I can count over the past week I have needed His Words. His Spirit speaking stillness to my raging turbulent heart. The knots in my stomach have ached at times. I breath up a prayer and His Word speaks. His Word calms.

His Word soothes. The knots go away for the moment.

That is until another human moment happens and I begin to stress and worry. We start all over again. Ah, but He is good. If His Word was not apart of the soul. I can’t even imagine how difficult life would be in these kinds of moments.

I don’t know that I have really answered Ann’s question, but this post is what came to mind when I read this week’s pondering. Although, honestly, I haven’t even read Ann’s post yet.

It is more the result of a life time of habitual memorization rather than a how to.
