My philosophy has always been that my job, since I am NOT the Holy Spirit, is to give the children lots of hooks in their hearts so that when God is working on them he will have something to grab.
These are the words to hide in their hearts, and the older boys have told me that it works. They do remember God's word when facing trials, speaking with non-Christians and other Christians, or are just in need of encouragment.
I used to tell them all this memory work was for the time when they were in prison ( for righteousness sake) and the rats were nibbling their toes. :cross:
My original goal was to memorize something from every book in the Bible, that hasn't happened yet.
Some are very long and some very short. I don't usually like to memorize isolated verses.
