If we want to live, we have to eat.

The Bible tells us that “man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord.” (Deut. 8:3)

But what good is bread if you don’t eat it?

Physically, we eat by chewing and swallowing. Spiritually, we eat by reading and memorizing.

And just as we do not eat one slice of bread on Sunday, expecting that to sustain us for a week, we should not be satisfied to read a few verses here and there, and be done.

A better way to eat our Bible is by memorizing it.

In chunks.

Why you need to memorize large chunks of the Bible

Memorization allows you to better understand what you read.

It protects you from destructive mindsets (if you’re meditating on Scripture, you’ll be too busy to entertain negative thoughts).

And it gives the Holy Spirit the opportunity to remind you of relevant verses right when you need them.
