First Memory Verse for February
I'm a fan of context. So we're going to back up a bit and add to what we've already memorized. It's a bit longer, but I have confidence in all of us.
Philippians 3:12 (NLT)
I don't mean to say that I have already achieved these things or that I have already reached perfection. But I press on to possess that perfection for which Christ Jesus first possessed me.
Now, did you see that? This means that once we have this verse down, we've memorized a three verse section of scripture. Let's see it all in context:
Philippians 3:12-14 (NLT)
12I don't mean to say that I have already achieved these things or that I have already reached perfection. But I press on to possess that perfection for which Christ Jesus first possessed me. 13No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, 14I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us.
Yeah, I know, that's a mouthful... but we've committed it to memory! Good work!
