Scripture memorization is an important key to maturing in
the faith. It is also an essential ingredient for meditation on the Scriptures
since it allows us to have God's Word readily available in our minds for
mulling over while we are driving or doing other things where we can't have an
open Bible in front of us.
One of the best resources for Scripture memorization in this
technological age is the Fighter Verses Program developed in conjunction with
Desiring God Ministries. They provide apps for both iPhone and Android
platforms.
There is a basic 5 year program with one verse a week for
five years. Each week, you are notified through your app that a new verse is
ready for the coming week. Here is their description of this program:
The Fighter Verses focus on 1) the character and worth of
our great God, 2) battling against our fleshly desires, and 3) the hope of the
Gospel. This five-year memory program is a revision of the original program
(now called the Legacy Set), and includes many verses from the original set as
well as many new verses.
Their extended program features longer passages still in a 5
year format. Here is their description:
The Extended Memory Set is designed for those who wish to
memorize longer passages of Scripture. Still structured as a five-year program,
this set will walk you through memorizing Philippians, James, Romans 5-8, the
Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7), and one year of larger passages from various
books of the Bible that are considered key to the life of faith.
