Bible Memory Plan Chart – 2 or more verses a day
by Glenn Leatherman
The following is a suggested way to memorize verses, passages and books of the Bible.
Time Required (2 verses a day): 5 minutes in the Morning and 5 minutes in the Evening
- Each day you start by picking a verse randomly or by selecting the next verse in the passage or book you are memorizing. Then you follow the Action steps and you will find you too can memorize
- The net effect of this memorizing system is to have (once you have gone past 5 days) 10 current verses in this case (your “Current Window” of verses) that you are reviewing each day.
- Memorize Monday – Friday and take the weekends off. During the weekends you can review all of the book or passage you are memorizing. Not just the 10 current verses.
- If you are not memorizing a verse a day you can repeat the action steps for the verse or verses you are memorizing and select a new verse(s) every other day or every week according to your schedule.
