The Blessing of Memorization

By Samara Cossio

Before Bible Quiz began, I spent the majority of my free time watching sports programs, soccer, because I have always really liked that.

One day, the Lord showed me that I was wasting too much time, and He spoke to my heart.

It was in that moment that I told God:

"Well Lord, I want to dedicate to You the time that I spend watching games and those things that will not edify me." 

I asked God to pour out His grace in my life to do so. This has really changed my life, how I spend my free moments memorizing—it’s like a need that God has placed in my life.

Reading and memorizing His Word has been a great blessing.
