My Testimony based on Psalm 139

I have a weekly prayer list on Scripture Memory.

S     Show me the wisdom of memorizing Scripture
M    Teach me the value of memorizing Scripture
T     Give me both a desire & motivation to memorize Scripture
W    Lead me to a Scripture memory accountability partner
T     Grant me the ability to memorize Scripture
F     Give me grace to memorize Scripture
S     Teach me to internalize Scripture through meditation

On Wednesdays, I had been praying that the Lord would send me an accountability partner. Of course, I thought that might be someone who was a “tough teacher” — kind of critical. Yet I didn’t want someone who was lackadaisical about it saying, “You did fine . . . it was pretty close.” The Lord knew EXACTLY what I needed, and this is how He led . . .

I had been mentoring an older single, who was struggling with waiting on the Lord and how her life seemed somewhat “on hold.” During one of our times together the Holy Spirit brought to mind Psalm 139. I said to her, “You ought to memorize Psalm 139:1-18." She looked it up and kind of said, “That’s a lot.” Without thinking I said, “I’ll memorize it with you!” — not an easy task for someone in their 70s. I decided to do it and made many trips to the throne room for help! (Hebrews 4:16) I had to work hard, but with the Lord’s help, I did it. I did it out of love, for this sister in Christ and this is what God did . . .

Those verses permeated my soul and changed the way I thought about myself! I always thought that when God created me, He left a few pieces on the workbench. After memorizing Psalm 139, I realized He didn’t!!! He made me EXACTLY the way He wanted me to be made... both my weakness and strengths. He made me “just right” for the works He has ordained for me to do. And He will equip me to do them in such a way that He is brought glory, and I am changed into the image of Christ.

I have challenged many of my brothers and sisters in Christ to put both Psalm 139 and Psalm 145 to memory.
