Here’s what you need to know today. God says, 

“Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. 
Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. 
I will strengthen you and help you. 
I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.”

Furthermore, he says, 

“For I hold you by your right hand— 
I, the Lord your God. 
And I say to you, 
‘Don’t be afraid. I am here to help you.”

Why is memorizing Bible verses so important? 

Because there are some truths too important to forget. 

Among those truths we need to stand on and live by are these:

* God is bigger than anything we fear.
* God is with us always.
* God provides courage for whatever we face.
* God strengthens us for every challenge.
* God is our helper in every matter that honors him and serves others.
* God holds us in the grip of his grace.
* God reminds us as often as necessary not to fear anything.
* God reminds us as often as necessary that he his here to help us.

That’s why we memorize God’s Word. By it we know his truth, his will, his ways, his purpose, and our best possible outcome in all things at all times.

I will hold God’s words in my heart that I may know his heart, his mind, his will, and his ways.

Our Father, empower me to commit your words of truth and life to memory that I may be strengthened and encouraged in everything. Amen.
