When we need to know the facts on something, where do we go? Do we go to the mechanic for help when we’re sick? No way! We want to see a physician, right? So why wouldn't we use the same principle when we talk about God?
There are many ideas about who God is…but how can we know what God really says about Himself? We have to go right to the source -- the Bible, which is God's word to us. There is so much God wants us to know and apply (live out) but we cannot live a life of obedience to Him when we can’t even remember what we're commanded to do? I think this is one of the reasons the psalmist wrote the following in Psalm 110:9-11:
9 How can a young man keep his way pure?
By living according to your word.
10 I seek you with all my heart;
do not let me stray from your commands.
11 I have hidden your word in my heart
that I might not sin against you.
Psalm 119 shows some reasons why we should memorize Scripture but there are also other places in the Bible which show its value. A few examples are found in Deuteronomy 6:6-9; Deuteronomy; 11:18-21; Joshua 1:7-8; Psalm 119:11 and Col 3:16.
Okay, so we know we should learn verses but perhaps it seems impossible to accomplish. People have different ways of learning and making up songs works for me, so I'm guessing it might work for others as well. That's exactly why FreeScripturetunes.org exists. Hopefully, these tunes will not only make memorizing verses easier but that you'll come to enjoy it too!
