The Memorizing of John 15

I did really well the first week, but for week 2, I have sort of let life get in the way of my memory work.  That just means that I will have to double up this week.  I could use the excuse that I have to much going on, but I still find time to do other things.  That says to me that I must work on my priorities.  You would think that I would know this after all these years, but I must learn to put God first.

Hide His Word

For this group, we are memorizing John 15.  The first week is verses 1 and 2.  For I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser.  Every branch that is in Me that does not bear fruit, he takes away; and every branch that bears fruit, he prunes it so that it may bear more fruit.  I am looking forward to having the entire chapter memorized.  I used to memorize scripture all the time as a teenager, but as I got older I got out of the "habit".  I hope to have more and more of God's word hidden in my heart as the year progresses.
