Our Complete Scripture Memory List

Following Connie at Wardssward's example, I thought it timely to list all of the verses boy has memorized for kindergarten and first grade.  This will be a good opportunity to look back and begin some type of a review of said verses. 

 

Many of the verse selections were from our curriculum and hind sight being 20:20, I would have, and now do, let the Spirit lead us more personally in our verse selection.  Some were really hard for a young boy to memorize.  I like Connie's idea of picking shorter, but no less meaningful, verses.  Of course, they are all God's truth, so we hide them in our hearts none the less!

 

Genesis 1:1--"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth."

Genesis 1:28--"...replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion..."

Psalm 1:1-2--"Blessed is the man who..."

Psalm 16:8--"I have set the Lord always before me..."

Psalm 119:33--"Teach me, O Lord, the way of your statutes..."

Psalm 136:1--"Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good..."

Psalm 139:14--"I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made."

Proverbs 3:5-6--"Trust in the Lord will all you heart..."

Proverbs 3:7-8--"Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord..."

Proverbs 12:16--"Foolish people are easily upset.  But wise people..."

Isaiah 9:6--"For to us a child is born..."

Isaiah 40:11--"He will tend his flock like a shepherd..."

Matthew 6:9-13--"Our Father who art in heaven..."

Matthew 7:7-9--"Ask and it shall be given to you; seek..."

Matthew 19:14--"...but Jesus said, "Let the little children..."

Matthew 19:19--"...Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself."

Luke 2:11--"For unto us is born this day in the city of David..."

Luke 12:48--"...Everyone to whom much was given, of him much will be required."

Acts 2:21--'And it shall come to pass that everyone who calls upon the name..."

Romans 5:19--"For as by the one man's disobedience..."

Ephesians 5:30--"Giving thanks always and for everything..."

Ephesians 6:1--"Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right."

Phillippians 4:8--"Finally brothers, whatever is true..."

Phillippians 4:13--"I can do all thing through Christ..."

I Thess. 5:16-18--"Rejoice always; pray without ceasing..."

II Timothy 1:7--"...for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power..."

II Timothy 3:16-17--"All scripture is inspired by God..."

Hebrews 13:17--"Obey your leaders and submit..."

I Peter 3:15--"But make sure in your hearts that Christ is Lord..."

I John 2:3--"And by this we know that we have come to know Him..."

Revelation 1:18--"I am He that liveth, and was dead..."

Revelation 22:14--"Blessed are they that do His commandments..."

Revelation 4:11--"...for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure..."

 

We use a spiral bound 5X7 index card book that we write our verses in.  We decorated the cover and it then sets up when propped open on our writing table.  Boy now writes the verses himself (in cursive!).  It will make a wonderful keepsake.

 

Boy also memorizes verses with his sunday school class, but I've not kept track of them. 

 

Do you have any special scripture memorization tips and tricks you use with your kids?

I write a verse from Bible Drills (SBC) on our white board each week. The kids have to copy it down and quote it to me by the end of the week. For a set amount of tally marks they get $ to a local Christian bookstore. I have heard so many testimonies of people in terrible situations where all they had was the scriptures they memorized to get them through. What a Godly mom you are teaching them to bind God's word (Deut 6:4-9). God Bless You.

Enjoyed seeing your list! Your method of writing out the verses would probably work better than ours. I had the boys write their verse on a regular sheet of paper and then draw pictures and/or decorate (like scrapbooking) around it and then keep them in a 3-ring notebook. I think they enjoyed it, but it got to be a little too much. Anyway, it's good to get some new verses from your list. So many to chose from! :-)

Amazing isn't it!

Where do you get your scriptures from to memorise (please don't tell me the Bible LOL!) Do you have a system that directs your choices?

We haven't done memorisation at all. With Josh haven't had to - he memorises screeds of his own choice - Jess does the same just not the volume but the other two I think it would be good - they are not only not reading the same volume of scripture the older two do they lack the self discipline (which means mummy has to help them along the way a bit!)

have a great day - actually - you would be heading into night - so goodnight and have a great day tomorrow!

About Me


In the beginning there was a tree.
The Tree of Life.
When sin entered the world,
we no longer had access to that tree.
We waited for another tree.
The Cross.
Jesus, as the perfect sacrifice for our sins once again gives us access to the
Tree of Life.
But we have to wait.
Wait for Heaven.
Until then, we are...
Living Life Between The Trees.
