Battle Cry Todays Devotion: June 25 A Concealed Weapon Lay up His words in your heart. Job 22:22 Recommended Reading 1 Peter 1:13-16 The human brain is arguably the climax of Gods creation, the most incredible invention in His universe. Its a fabulous, living super-computer with unfathomable circuitry and unimaginable complexity, a collection of billions of neurons, each as complex as a small computer. Theyre all interconnected, and one scientist said that the number of connections within one human brain rivals the number of stars and galaxies in the entire universe. With a brain like that, you can memorize Scripture. In fact, Scripture memory is the most therapeutic thing you can do with and for your brain. In the days before the printing press, many people didnt have access to their own copies of the Bible; so they memorized vast portions of Gods Word. How tragic that now, with all our modern versions and translations, were memorizing it less and less. Its important to memorize Scripture in order to stand strong during lifes difficult circumstances. When you have Bible verses inscribed in your mind, youre carrying a concealed weapon. Youre wielding the sword of the Spirit. Find a passage today and begin laying up His words in your heart. Bible memorization is absolutely fundamental to spiritual formation. If I had to choose between all the disciplines of the spiritual life, I would choose Bible memorization.
