MEMORIZE GOD’S WORD
1 READ the context of each verse you memorize.
2 GAIN a clear understanding of what each verse actually means. Read the verse in other Bible
translations or paraphrases.
3 READ the verse through several times, aloud or in a whisper. This will help you grasp the verse as a
whole. Each time you read it, say the topic, reference, verse, and then the reference again.
4 LEARN the topic and reference, then learn the first phrase of the verse. Once you have learned the
topic, reference, and the first phrase and have repeated them several times, continue adding more
phrases after you can quote correctly what you have already learned.
5 PRAY over each verse and think about how it applies to your daily life.

The Navigators has always encouraged Bible memorization as an important tool for spiritual growth and

disciples to hide God’s Word in their hearts.
