Scripture memory enables us to live by the Spirit

Scripture memory enables us to live by the Spirit. Jesus when faced with temptation to sin do to the hunger inside him said “It is written, “‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’” This occurred after his baptism as he was being led by the Spirit. The Psalms have much to say about the benefits of scripture memory (Psalm 1:1-3;37:31;40:8;119:9,11,15,16) as well as Proverbs (Proverbs 3:3-4;4:20-21). I especially appreciate the wisdom of Proverbs 6:20-35, essentially saying hold this teaching in your heart, it will lead you, watch over you and preserve your life from the temptation of wicked women. So where to start? Here's some easy ideas you can start today.
