"But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. (John 14:26 KJV)
I have relied on this verse--this truth-- to get me through college, through church when I have forgotten my Bible, through hard times. Hard times when my own thoughts are insufficient and i have gasped for air, the Word of God spoken into my spirit has been oxygen and life.
"It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. (John 6:63 KJV)
Sloppy is what I've been. Since the iPhone I rarely open my once loved now dog-eared King James Bible.
Now it is covered in dust, literally.
But today I am resolved. Inspired by Ann Voskamp, I am going to memorize Romans 1,5, and 8 this year.
I decided this yesterday eve and awoke this morning with Romans1:1-2 on my lips but just out of memory's reach. Like the coffee you smell and can already taste before you head downstairs. This morning it was not the coffee but the Word that my mouth hungered for. Stung by the following quote from Ann Voskamp ((aholyexperience.com, Jan. 4,2012)
"What you really know by heart is what your heart really knows — and what you really live."
I resolved to know by heart more of His Word. You see when I give myself to it, He gives Himself to me.
