Challenge # 8 - Scripture Blitz

It has been over a year since we did our last scripture blitz challenge! It is hard to believe how time has flown by so quickly. For those of you who participated in our last scripture blitz you will be familiar the expectations. For those of you who are joining us for the first time, WELCOME! We are so glad you can be a part of our second scripture blitz!

The purpose for our scripture blitz is simply to memorize scripture.

“Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly...” Colossians 3:16a
“Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.” Psalm 119:105

Mapping out the Expectations :
  1. If you did our last scripture blitz and you remember which scriptures you set aside to memorize for that challenge, then pull those back out and review them each week.
  2. Diligently work at committing to memory at least one new scripture per week for this month. So hopefully by the end of this month you will have at least four scriptures written on your heart. As always you are always welcome to do do more if you would like.
I must confess I struggled the last time we did this scripture blitz. I did not commit to memory the number of scriptures I wanted. Please know that the point to this challenge is getting the word of the to dwell in us richly. If it is one verse or 30 verses, it doesn’t matter, just so long as we are making a point to write God’s word on the tablets of our hearts. Scripture is our life line. We never know when we are going to need to pull from the tablets of our hearts for situations that we face.
I pray that you will be diligent about memorizing scripture this month. I pray this for myself as well. Blessings to you on your scripture blitz journey!
