I’m not very good at memorizing.
At least that’s what I tell myself when I am not working on memorizing Bible verses or poetry or creeds or speeches. I tell myself I am not very good at memorizing, and then I don’t feel so bad for not trying.
But if I try, I’m actually not so bad at memorizing. The truth is, I’m actually just lazy.
So when Ann posted her annual Mega Memory Month challenge, I decided to give it a try. But what to memorize?
When I heard someone quote a verse from Psalm 18 over the weekend, a Psalm I have returned to over and over in the past few years, I knew this had to be my goal.
So, over the next 29 days (I’m two days behind already!), I will memorize all 50 verses of Psalm 18.
But I also want to live them and breathe them; I want to live a Psalm 18 life over the next 30 days and beyond.
What are you hiding in your heart and meditating on? What are you seeking to live?

For Mega Memory Month, I’ll post updates on my memorization progress each Monday. Stop back by and see how I’m doing. And let me know how you are doing on your goal, too!
I just looked up Psalm 18, and saw verse after verse that I’ve heard or read on its own–it’s so neat to see them in context, which is how you will be taking them in this month.
Just two days ago, I was leaving a comment for a fellow MMM participant, and I alluded to this verse with regard to our mega-memory undertakings: “with my God I can scale a wall.” With my God, I can memorize John 15 or Psalm 18.
Enjoy this rich (and long!) psalm this month, Charity. I’m so glad you’re joining me on this journey. I am remaining in the true vine as I tackle John 15. 🙂
