I think I’m going to try again to memorize one Scripture per week. I’m entering into the effort expecting to fail sometimes. I’ve been on Christmas vacation for a while, so now I have all kinds of ideas on how I want to spend my time, but realistically expect a clash when ‘real life’ starts again. But, I can’t see that being a good reason not to try. Memory Monday is an idea I got from one of my favorite blogs. If you click on the button to the right you can find it. I highly recommend following Joanne!
I’ve been reading 1 Corinthians lately. I love the letters of Paul. I have every since I was in Bible college. I had a great teacher for most of the Epistle classes. I like reading the letters again now and remembering the things I learned so long ago. In my last newsletter, I posted verse 10:13. I thought I ‘d start there for Memory Monday, but I just so happened to read through chapters 9 and 10 in my daily reading, and 10:24 jumped out at me.
“Let no one seek his own good, but the good of his neighbor.” 1 Corinthians 10:24
It’s simple, and I could probably quote the gist of it already, but it’s weighty. I think it’ll be good to meditate on it for a week. And honestly, I don’t think I’ve been doing so good at this lately. Nor do I expect to outside of a heart of gratitude for how Jesus has sought my good. It’s good food for thought.
Happy Monday : )
