Have you noticed that part of the memory verse is in darker type? We’ll explain why.
We are happy that many of you learn these verses every week. Memorizing God’s holy Word is very important. One big reason is given to us in Psalm 119:11. It says, “Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against Thee.” If you have memorized a verse, the Lord Jesus can bring it into your mind just when you need it most—to help you do or say what is right. And learning the gospel verses will help you to tell others about God’s love and how to be saved from their sins.
Perhaps there are some very young children who are only able to learn part of the verse each week. Since our memory verse this week is longer, we have printed in darker type a part for beginners to learn.
We hope this will encourage everyone, even the very young, to memorize Scripture.
