Revelation 4 v 11 - Memorising the Bible + Free Printables

I could never do it!

Do what?

Memorize a chapter of one of the Books of the Bible!

Yeah that's not so easy, BUT you can learn a verse of the Bible.

Let's look at a verse from the last book of the Bible.
Yes that book which many people avoid reading because they feel they will not understand it.
But
We don't have to understand everything the first time we read it and we might miss out on some very encouraging words
if we don't read it.

In this chapter 4 of the book of Revelation we have a great verse which encourages us to consider and remember that God is worthy of our praise and worship and everything else.

It's not a very long verse so let's be encouraged by that as well.

"Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created."

In memorizing this verse we will look at 4 things:

Memorising Tips

If you read the Top 10 Ways to Learn Scripture you will see that I give 10 tips to help in this process but we don't have to use all 10 of them on each verse - just the ones that suit best with the verse.

For Revelation 4 v 11 I'm going to advise using tips 1, 2, 7, 8, 9, 10

1. Read the verse often, every day, multiple times in the day.

Leave a bookmark in your bible and every time you go past it grab the bible and open at the verse etc. (you will pick up other ideas later in this post).

Reading and repeating somethings over and over is the natural way to get it into your head.

With this verse it is obvious to think of it in two parts

"Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power:

for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created."

2. Write out the verse several times.

Why? Because he action of WRITING helps us learn anything.

Write it out in two parts.

So you are writing it in two halves just as reading it in the two halves as in no.1 above

7. Understand the meaning of the verse.

We will never memorize anything properly without having understood the meaning of it and knowing the meaning helps us remember the order of the parts of the verses.

The first part of the verse is a PROCLAMATION and ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of how God is worthy of glory, honour and power.

"Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power:

Then the second part we notice starts with the word FOR and is the WHY or the REASON the Psalmist is making the proclamation which is because GOD is the great CREATOR.

for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created."

8. Make it easy to see the verse clearly and regularly each day.

In no.1 above I mentioned your bible and a bookmark

but

we cannot have our Bible at hand every moment of the day so if you feel you need frequent readings of the verse like pop-up reminders then do the following:

Get a post-it pad and write the verse out clearly on it then tear off the post-it and stick it on

the mirror you will use first thing each morning and last thing each night
the front cover of your Bible
the front cover of the book you are currently reading
the door of the fridge
the inside of the door of the cupboard where you go to get your favourite mug for that cup of coffee

9. Make or use Bible Verse Graphics

The picture of 1 John 3 v 1 near the start of this post is an example of a Bible Verse Graphic.

A picture with the words written on it clearly.

By making these yourself you will learn as you create them.

by using ones made for you that you keep close to hand like these I created below

(see my freebies)

I also post a bible verse graphic every morning on my

Facebook Page for Sandra's Ark

so if you want to be encouraged by a verse each day or have a graphic you can Share to your timeline or Save in Facebook then click through to my Facebook Page and be sure to like and follow the page to see those graphics in your feed each day.

by watching a short Bible Reading video like this one I created

or Word Search Puzzles

While completing a Bible Verse Word Search you will be spending time looking for the words and this also helps to learn the verse.

You can download this Word Search Puzzle of Revelation 4 v 11

or Colouring Pages

While colouring in a Bible Verse Page you will be spending time around the words and this also helps to learn the verse.

or Phone Screensavers / Wallpaper

What better use of your phone - to keep that verse in front of you each time you go to check your messages.

For this you will need it to be a suitable portrait shape and size so most of the normal verse graphics you see will not suit.

I have a few verses made out for screen savers & you can download them from

My Resource Library

and

finally my favourite way

but it is not always possible to use this method

10. Sing it.

It is well known that in singing a song you can easily learn the words of the song.

Fred & I have made several short videos of songs/choruses to help you memorize certain verses and you can watch the one for Revelation 4 v 11 below

I've also prepared a playlist of Short Songs to memorize Scripture on YouTube:

Some More Freebies to help you.

Don't forget that many of my posts on the blog have bible verse graphics and I have many of these available as free downloads in my

RESOURCE LIBRARY

Also that's where you will find the phone screen savers for some verses.

Memorizing the Bible - Psalm 119 v 11

I could never do it!

Do what?

Memorize a chapter of one of the Books of the Bible!

Yeah that's not so easy, BUT you can learn a verse of the Bible.

Let's look at a verse from one of the largest books of the Old Testament.

Many people think they could never manage to memorize a whole Psalm or a whole chapter of Scripture.

It is a rather daunting challenge especially if you have never learned any scripture before.

So we of course are not going to attempt to learn the whole book of Psalms or the whole of one Psalm but we will take on the very simple one verse which is
Psalm 119 v 11

"Thy Word have I hid in my heart,

that I might not sin against thee."

So in memorizing this verse we will look at 4 things:

Memorising Tips

For Psalm 119 v 11 I'm going to advise using tips 2, 5, 8, & 9

2. Write out the verse several times.

Why? Because the action of WRITING helps us learn anything.

The first line below can be written on one line of a page and the last line on the following line.

So you are writing it in two halves just as you would read it when you see it this way because it comes naturally to the ear with the similar rhythm to each line.

"Thy Word have I hid in my heart,

that I might not sin against thee."

5. Instruction and the reason why it is good advice.

When we instruct or teach or tell someone (or in this case ourselves) the way to do something or what is good for someone or ourselves we normally give an explanation of why this is a good instruction or teaching or we give the result that has been seen in the past.

The instruction or recommendation here is about hiding God's Word in our hearts which can in one simple way just mean memorizing it but also means to understand it and know it.

The reason why is clearly to be an aid in helping us not to sin.

So if a verse has an instruction or piece of advice it mostly will have the reason why it is a good instruction or good advice and they go hand in hand so we have another help in the memorization process.

8. Make it easy to see the verse clearly and regularly each day.

This could be by having a bookmark at the verse in your Bible

but

we cannot have our Bible at hand every moment of the day so if you feel you need frequent readings of the verse like pop-up reminders then do the following:

Get a post-it pad and write the verse out clearly on it then tear off the post-it and stick it on

the mirror you will use first thing each morning and last thing each night
the front cover of your Bible
the front cover of the book you are currently reading
the door of the fridge
the inside of the door of the cupboard where you go to get your favourite mug for that cup of coffee

Psalm 99 v 5 - Memorizing the Bible

I could never do it!

Do what?

Memorize a chapter of one of the Books of the Bible!

Yeah that's not so easy, BUT you can learn a verse of the Bible.

Let's look at a verse from one of the Psalms

Many people think they could never manage to memorize a whole Psalm or a whole chapter of Scripture.

It is a rather daunting challenge especially if you have never learned any scripture before.

Let's try one verse in one of the Psalms.

Psalm 99 v 5

"Exalt the Lord our God
And worship at His footstool;
for He is Holy."

In memorizing this verse we will look at 4 things:

Memorising Tips

For Psalm 99 v 5 I'm going to advise using tips 2, 5, 7, 9, & 10

2. Write out the verse several times.

Why? Because he action of WRITING helps us learn anything.

The 3 lines of can be written on 3 separate lines of a page just as they are presented in the Bible Verse Graphic above and as they are written out below.

So you are writing it in 3 parts which goes very well with the content of the verse

"Exalt the Lord our God

&

And worship at His footstool;

&
for He is Holy."

Why? Because he action of WRITING helps us learn anything.

Especially separating it out into lines helps to install the structure of the verse in your eye and mind.

5. Instruction and the reason why it is good advice

When we instruct or teach or tell someone the way to do something or what is good for someone we normally give then the explanation of why this is a good instruction or teaching or we tell the the result that has been seen in the past.

The instruction or recommendation here is to exalt God and worship Him.

The explanation is that it is right thing to do because of the holiness of God and the humility we should express.

So if a verse has an instruction mostly it will also have that reason why it is a good instruction and they go hand in hand and hence we have another help to memorize.

7. Understand the meaning of the verse.

We will never memorize anything properly without having understood the meaning of it and knowing the meaning helps us remember the order of the parts of the verses.

In the verse we have the command to praise and worship God in a lowly position in a humble way at His feet because of His Holiness

The first part of the verse tells us to exalt or praise or show our esteem of God

Then the second part tells us to worship Him in humility

The third part explains why the first two parts are so important - He is Holy!

9. Make or use Bible Verse Graphics
