Scripture Memory Tools

Scripture memory. It is one of the most vital disciplines of our Christian lives. So why does it not come as naturally as memorizing the lyrics to our favorite 80's pop songs? LOL! Repetition, repetition, repetition! But sometimes it takes more than that. Sometimes it takes thinking outside the box, getting creative, and stepping outside the traditional "just repeat it until you can say it in your sleep method". 

I am not that creative. I also firmly believe that you should never re-invent the wheel. If it already exists because someone with the genious to come up with it has already done the work, then support them, share their ideas, and cheer their efforts on.

That being said, below is a list of sites that offer super creative outside-the-box ways to memorize God's Word to ensure that it is hidden deep within the confines of kids' hearts (and adults too). Please feel free to comment if you have any to add to this list as I am sure it is not exhaustive. 

• Bible Verse Wrap-Ups (This one didn't have a website associated with it so I have no idea who to credit. There was just a picture on Pinterest.)
