This Week’s Extended Passage
This will be the last week for this extended passage. We will begin a new one nxt week and carry it through the month of February.
1 O LORD, our Lord, How excellent is Your name in all the earth,Who have set Your glory above the heavens!
2 Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infantsYou have ordained strength,Because of Your enemies, That You may silence the enemy and the avenger.
3 When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, The moon and the stars, which You have ordained,
4 What is man that You are mindful of him,And the son of man that You visit him?
5 For You have made him a little lower than the angels,And You have crowned him with glory and honor.
6 You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands;You have put all things under his feet,
7 All sheep and oxen—Even the beasts of the field,
8 The birds of the air, And the fish of the sea That pass through the paths of the seas.
9 O LORD, our Lord,How excellent is Your name in all the earth! Psalm 8
God bless you as you hide his Word in your heart.

Week of Jan. 18
Welcome to the third week of Memorizing Scripture together. With the inauguration of Barack Obama the following verse is appropriate for all of us to memorize and to remember. It is a great reminder to all of us to pray for President Obama and all those in authority over us.
Mark Labberton, pastor of First Presbyterian Church in Berkeley, California says this in an article titled “What to Pray for a New President”:
After a divisive campaign, an extraordinary economic collapse, a period of ecological vulnerability, and a time of war and global instability, our president and our nation need humility, wisdom, and courage. Wherever we or our congregations may be politically, these three qualities should guide our prayers for the leaders responsible for our nation and our world. Leadership that is lacking in any of these three will be far less constructive than these trying times demand.
Let’s memorize together 1 Timothy 2:1-2
This Week’s Fighter Verse for the week of Jan. 18
1 Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, 2 for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. 1 Timothy 2:1-2
This Week’s Passage
We continue to work on memorizing Psalm 8. If you want to do this by the end of the month you should have at least five verses memorized and working on the sixth. On an extended passage like this you might want to break it down to memorizing each verse on its own. Remember to review the verses you have already memorized and simply add the new one as you work on it.
1 O LORD, our Lord, How excellent is Your name in all the earth,Who have set Your glory above the heavens!
2 Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infantsYou have ordained strength,Because of Your enemies, That You may silence the enemy and the avenger.

Week of Jan. 11
Welcome to the second week of Memorizing Scripture together. This week’s verse emphasizes that our salvation is not our work but rather the work of God by His grace which we receive by faith. We cannot boast about our salvation but we can be very grateful for the work of God in our lives. Work on memorizing this passage and review last week’s verse, 2 Tim 3:16-17.
This Week’s Fighter Verse for the week of Jan. 11
8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast. Ephesians 2:8-9

Well, I hope you are on your way to memorizing God's Word in 2009.
Memorization Tip: Print the memory verse on a 3x5 card so you can carry it with you and work on it through out the day like when you are standing in line at Costco or Foodland. Just don't do this while you are driving!
This Week’s Fighter Verse
All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. 2 Timothy 3:16-17
This Week’s Passage
As we begin this effort together, I think it will be valuable to begin by committing to memory some passages that are prayers to God. These are Scriptures you can use as you pray, simply praying them back to God as an act of worship to him. The first of these is Psalm 8, a prayer of worship or adoration, declaring the glory of God. It seemed to strike the right balance between applicability and length. We will start slowly, by memorizing this through the month of January, 2009. You can proceed through it at whatever pace fits you—just target January 31 as a completion date. Next week I’ll begin providing help and advice on memorizing passages like this one.
1 O LORD, our Lord, How excellent is Your name in all the earth,Who have set Your glory above the heavens!
2 Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infantsYou have ordained strength,Because of Your enemies, That You may silence the enemy and the avenger.
