So excited to start today on our walk together through memorizing Ephesians. Here’s how it went this morning:
- Pray that God will help me to remember and inscribe His words on my heart.
- Read aloud the entire book of Ephesians – took me 16 min & 51 seconds.
- I took Dr. Andrew Davis’s schedule on p. 23 of his booklet and wrote out the whole schedule in my notebook.
- On the next page, I wrote today’s verses (see picture below).
Then, I took verse 1:1 and wrote it out on a 3 x 5 card that I hole-punched and put onto a binder ring.
Dr. Davis’s recommendation is to read the verse of the day 10 times and take a mental picture of each word. For me, that’s hard to do without actually drawing something out. So here’s my card with my little notes on it for me to take a mental picture of it. I couldn’t find anything for Paul, so I put a P above it. Christ Jesus is repeated twice, so I put a Cross on top. Saints has a halo above it and Ephesus has 3 Roman Columns.
In today’s verse, Paul is saying who he is (an apostle of Christ Jesus) and who he is writing to (saints who are in Ephesus). So, say that out loud 10 x and then close your eyes and try to remember the picture of the words 10 x.
That’s it for today.
Tomorrow and the next few days, you will do the same – start with verse 1:1, then read (10x) verse 2, close eyes & say verse 1 & 2 together).
What did you do? Anything different for your study today or this week? PLEASE share!
