Imprisoned for his faith, Haralan Popov went five years without a Bible. When he found one, he knew it would soon be confiscated by the guards, so he memorized large portions, “hiding it in his heart” (Psalm 119:11).
Here are some ways to do that:
1. Concentrate on Scripture passages by looking at each word and phrase separately, asking God to give you insight into how the passage can be lived out in your life.
See A Fun Word Study for one way you can do this.
2. Write the passage and read it each day for a week or a month. This is especially good when going through a trial or overcoming temptation.
3. Draw a picture of the passage with symbols representing key elements of the verse.
See my one-minute post on Bible Journaling and an example using Psalm 37.
4. Write the passage in your own words (being careful to stay true to the meaning).
5. Like Popov, memorize the passage.
Leave a comment and tell me ways that you hide God’s Word in your heart. And please check out a poem I wrote about this subject: A Woman of the Word.
