82. MEMORY       --page 679--

         The memory of the just is blessed (Pro.10:7).

         1. You could hardly accomplish anything more important than to really memorise the Word.
         2. The memory strengthens as you lay burdens upon it.
         3. We remember best what we love most.
         4. "Kiss these words of thy father & hide them within thy heart & obey them if thou wouldst be happy in Me!"
         5. A lesson taught is nothing without a review & a test.
         6. A short pencil is better than a long memory.
         7. It's one thing to just memorise Scripture, it's another thing to know how to use Scripture to answer!
         8. If you always tell the truth, you never need be concerned about poor memory.
         9. Every one of you is a computer, & your little chips off the old block right here in your head have got the whole story!
         10. Repetition is the law of memory: Repeat, repeat, repeat!
         11. Memorise Scriptures & resist the Devil!
         12. Someday the only Word of God you've got may be what you've implanted in your heart.
         13. Hide His Word faithfully in your heart that you may be kept by the power of God & comforted in difficult times, now & in the future.
         14. As we absorb His Words, we become one with Him.
