I have, unfortunately, always been pretty terrible about memorizing scripture. I have a few key verses committed to memory, but have always been amazed by people who have a plethora of scripture memorized. I often find myself using www.biblegateway.com when a verse is on the tip of my tongue. Although its a great source, it doesn’t quite have the same effect as looking up a passage in the bible.. and it's easy to say "why memorize the verse when I can just look it up?".
I certainly have known that my prayer life and witnessing would be more fruitful if I were more disciplined to commit pieces of God's word to memory. Not to mention the power that can come from declaring truths against Satan (like Jesus did when he was tempted in the wilderness).
Ephesians 6:17 says "Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God." (Thanks again, BibleGateway.com) The word of God is the one piece of armor used to slay the temptation of the enemy and our own sinful nature.
Well.. I first heard of Seeds Family Worship through another blog that I follow. It's becoming popular for kids & families these days. The songs are pure scripture verses.. and I love listening to them!
You can get more info at www.seedsfamilyworship.net. I bought Vol 2 "Seeds of Faith" here are the songs on it:
1. The Word of the Lord ( 1 Peter 1:24-25 ) 2. Grace ( Ephesians 2:8 ) 3. Hey Man ( Romans 5:8, 6:23 ) 4. The Light of the World ( John 8: 12 ) 5. No Greater Love ( John 15:13-14 ) 6. Faith as Small as ( Matthew 17:20 ) 7. Eternal Life ( John 3:16 ) 8. They Will See God ( Matthew 5:8 ) 9. Walk In is Ways ( Psalm 128:1 ) 10. Faith ( Hebrews 11: 1 & 6 ) 11. Carry It On ( Philippians 1:6 ) 12. New Creation ( 2 Corinthians 5:17 )
I'll hopefully have all these verses committed to memory very soon! :) I also can’t wait to listen to this CD with my kids some day!
I heard this song for the first time today and the lyric's are so powerful.
The song is filled with questions.. questions that remind me that it's easy to know God through his Word and stories of Jesus but occasionally we catch glimpses of the personal God who speaks directly to our hearts. These are moments when we know that our minds and hearts were made perfectly by God, but made so that we cannot comprehend all that God was, is, and is to come.
We just know by faith.. and although I don't question my faith, I think it's human for us to question who God is. My heart knows God but my uncomprehending mind asks similar questions to these below. In his faithfulness, he slowly reveals answers to our questions. Some day we will see "Holy" face to face.
What do I know of Holy By: Addison Road I made You promises a thousand times I tried to hear from Heaven But I talked the whole time I think I made You too small I never feared You at all No If You touched my face would I know You? Looked into my eyes could I behold You?
What do I know of You Who spoke me into motion? Where have I even stood But the shore along Your ocean? Are You fire? Are You fury? Are You sacred? Are You beautiful? What do I know? What do I know of Holy?
I guess I thought that I had figured You out I knew all the stories and I learned to talk about How You were mighty to save Those were only empty words on a page Then I caught a glimpse of who You might be The slightest hint of You brought me down to my knees
What do I know of You Who spoke me into motion? Where have I even stood But the shore along Your ocean? Are You fire? Are You fury? Are You sacred? Are You beautiful? What do I know? What do I know of Holy?
What do I know of Holy? What do I know of wounds that will heal my shame? And a God who gave life "its" name? What do I know of Holy? Of the One who the angels praise? All creation knows Your name On earth and heaven above What do I know of this love?
What do I know of You Who spoke me into motion? Where have I even stood But the shore along Your ocean? Are You fire? Are You fury? Are You sacred? Are You beautiful? What do I know? What do I know of Holy?
