We hope you enjoy this post from our archives. It originally posted in August, 2012.
I said to my husband the other night, “Wouldn’t it be neat if we could memorize a sermon when we hear it and like a computer pull it out when we need it.” I was referring to the great messages we had heard at a Bible conference we had recently attended. But upon further reflection I realized that it is by the grace and mercy of God that we don’t memorize everything we see and hear. Think of all the traumatic experiences in life that we would remember in great detail, and we would never be able to erase from our memory. It is good that we have to make an effort to memorize information like Bible verses. The older I get, the more difficult it is to remember things (more about that later.)
