When my children were young, we did some homeschooling during their education years. The curriculum we used required some Bible verse memorization. It became quite the academic process at times, resulting in a verse memorized for a grade then quickly forgotten. I don’t think that is the point of memorizing Bible verses, right? One day while the children were busy with their school work, an idea hit me out of nowhere (I literally felt like the Spirit of the LORD deposited it in my mind with a purpose). What if a verse was memorized in a way that it was not quickly forgotten? I had an idea to memorize 'chunks' of the verse. After a small portion is memorized, then new portions are added all the while reviewing the 'chunks' as a whole. The video below will explain it all! *Have a peek at this link for tips on memorizing then NOT forgetting Scripture verses. I could instantly picture a whole children’s book series to help children remember a verse throughout a lifetime. I am in the midst of a developing this book series and pitching it to agents and publishers. My vision is for the Hide and Seek Scripture series to encourage families to learns verses within an adventure story. By the end of the Hide and Seek Scripture books, children and their family can easily memorize a verse. It will also offer a geography lesson added to the joy of learning the verse since the verse can be hidden any interesting place on the globe. I would appreciate your thoughts and prayers for the series during its publication process. My purpose is to genuinely see the Word of God carefully placed into the hearts of children, their parents and grandparents - who will also 'accidentally' memorize the same verse as they read the books to their children and grandchildren. Reading to your kids has the ability to prepare them to learn to read and turn into lifelong readers, but this series has that goal and beyond. Let's 'raise readers' and get the extra benefit of having kids and whole families have 'God's Word hidden in their heart'! There are, of course, some other excellent children's books and materials about Scripture memorization. I am all for 'by any and all means'. Take a look at one nice option here. My ABC Bible Verses: Hiding God's Word in Little Hearts by Susan Hunt offers some fun ideas for verses to memorize from every letter of the alphabet. How ever you choose to invest time in memorizing scripture, help those little hearts and minds in our lives hide his word in their hearts. LORD, HELP US TO CREATIVELY HIDE YOUR WORD IN OUR HEARTS...NOT TO BE QUICKLY FORGOTTEN...AND NOT SIN AGAINST YOU!!
