Memorizing passages of Scripture

I recently memorized Paul's letter to the Colossians, and am currently working on 1 Peter (early in chapter 3).
One of the things that I'm loving about it is that it's forcing me to memorize those "bridge" type of verses that I've never really noticed before. So much truth.
Also, I'm enjoying the "themes" from Colossians like:
-concern for God's people and desire to see them grow, and earnestly praying to that end.
-the absolute preeminence of Christ over all of Creation and Redemption.
-the "hope" of the Gospel (three times in chapter 1 the word "hope" is associated with the Gospel)
-and of course the emphasis on the work of Christ (just in verses 16-22 Paul uses "He", "His", "Him", and "Himself" 12 times when refering to the work of Christ. The only time it mentions us is in association with the words "alienated" and "enemies" and "wicked works.")

Memorizing passages has been one of the most spiritually enriching things that I've ever done (possibly because it causes you to read, study, meditate upon, pray about, and ultimately write in on your heart. It's a regular quintuple whammy, if you will)

I highly encourage you to try it!
