As a young girl growing up in Jamaica, I had the privilege to go to Sunday School every Sunday morning – without fail. My mother made sure that we (her children) were groomed under the Biblical teachings from the word of God. This is where my foundation for life was laid.
One of my greatest Sunday School memories is scripture memorization. Today the meaning of hiding God’s word in my heart means so much more to me now than it did then. I am so happy that they made it fun for us to do. We sang scriptures, we created actions and recited them, we marched to scriptures.. no wonder I can remember them now at moments I need to.
Here is my challenge to you for now, January 10, 2012 – February 10 2012:
- Let us, as a community, memorize Psalm 62! How about that.
- Then meet at an online venue I will announce (maybe GoTo Meeting or a similar venue) on February 10, and share with each other
- I LOOK FORWARD TO YOU JOINING IN WITH US.

Here is Psalm 62 (NLT version) – You may choose to memorize it in any version you wish.
***********************
Psalm 62
I wait quietly before God, for my victory comes from him.
He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress where I will never be shaken.
So many enemies against one man— all of them trying to kill me. To them I’m just a broken-down wall or a tottering fence.
They plan to topple me from my high position. They delight in telling lies about me. They praise me to my face but curse me in their hearts. Interlude
Let all that I am wait quietly before God, for my hope is in him.
He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress where I will not be shaken.
My victory and honor come from God alone. He is my refuge, a rock where no enemy can reach me.
O my people, trust in him at all times. Pour out your heart to him, for God is our refuge. Interlude
Common people are as worthless as a puff of wind, and the powerful are not what they appear to be. If you weigh them on the scales, together they are lighter than a breath of air.
Don’t make your living by extortion or put your hope in stealing. And if your wealth increases, don’t make it the center of your life.
God has spoken plainly, and I have heard it many times: Power, O God, belongs to you;
Unfailing love, O Lord, is yours. Surely you repay all people according to what they have done.
