And how blessed we are to have it in any version we choose. Especially when in some countries they don't have that privilege. And in so many ways it prepares you for what the day might bring. It sure is our soul food.Rita Galiehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14586506137798711397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-515660504291275491.post-77578065522113112842015-11-07T09:32:06.556+11:002015-11-07T09:32:06.556+11:00Hi Paul, great to have you pop on over and thank y...Hi Paul, great to have you pop on over and thank you for your comment.

I love your testimony of still recalling all those verses you memorised so long ago.

I have almost finished going through a particular Scripture reading program that proved very beneficial but am looking forward just to reading various books of the Bible again by myself, listening to God and journalling as I go. But I really appreciated your encouragement to commit verses to memory--something I haven't deliberately done for ages! I can still remember some we had to learn as Billy Graham Crusade counsellors way back in the sixties though, so that shows how God's Word can stick in our hearts and minds.
