Welcome to our 3rd Annual Memory Challenge!
The Challenge is to memorize a chapter of God’s Word in the month of January – approximately 31 verses in 31 days.
I am particularly excited about this year’s Challenge passage, because it’s from the Old Testament – a fascinating chapter about this one particular tree which offers long life, riches, honor, and peace.
Any guesses?
Now, lest you think Proverbs 3 is a weird choice, check back at the end of the Challenge as I reveal a wacky experiment I performed with these 35 verses . . .
Yes, Proverbs 3 has 35 verses – and January has 31 days – so you’d better get started! The verses are short, and you’ve likely already memorized 2 of the 35, so no biggie, right?
How to Complete the Challenge:
1} Print a copy of the Challenge passage so you can carry it around with you {index-card sizes work great!}.
2} Find a few minutes each day to memorize one verse {verse 1 on Jan 1, verse 2 on Jan 2, etc.} . . . plus an extra verse here or there.
3} Review all verses previously memorized, such that you can recite all verses word-for-word until you reach the verse for that day.
4} Don’t forget to actually think about and study the passage somewhere along the way.
5} For daily reminders, encouragement, and more, join the Challenge Facebook page.
6} To complete the Challenge, quote the entire passage word-for-word to a friend by midnight, February 1.
{FUN TIP: Check out these songs from The Verses Project to help you memorize verses 9-10 & verses 11-12.}

Verse 5 was a friend’s base verse as her husband fought a battle with brain cancer. It will always make me think of her. Have a great (and wise!) new year.

To have His word written upon my heart has been one of my prayers for a long time. Memorizing and studying is the way to do it (and application). Thanks for linking your challenge up with Grace and Truth.
