Throughout history, many Christian icons -- including Martin Luther, Chuck Swindoll and Fanny Crosby -- have extolled the benefits of memorizing scripture, and there's a good reason for this.

When you commit the word of God to memory, just a few of the benefits you stand to gain include:

• Sharper and more effective witnessing
• Stronger prayer
• Greater alertness and higher observation skills
• Enhanced confidence and assurance

But ultimately, the greatest benefit of them all is that you will feel a stronger connection to God and a solidification of your faith.

Memorizing the scriptures may seem like an insurmountable task -- but not only is it possible; it's enriching.

Anything worth doing takes work, and memorizing the word of God is no different.

But supplied with the right strategies and a strong determination, this is the most rewarding work you will ever do, and you'll find that it will bring you closer to God in a way that simply reading the scriptures cannot.

Whether you have 15 minutes, 30 minutes, or an hour a day to spare, you can commit God's word to heart -- no matter how bad you think your memory is.
