Value of the Month: Memorization

 

          One of the best tricks for memorization is to read through something right before you go to bed.  Read through it; put it on your night stand, and go to sleep.  Your brain will work on it while you are sleeping.  It’s like an auto-pilot.  You’ll wake up in the morning and you’re there!

 

          I’ve done this many times with wordy worship songs.  Like “How He Loves” that we sang last Sunday.  Yikes, LOTS of words in that song.  “He is jealous for me, love like a hurricane, I am a tree, bending beneath the weight of His wind and mercy.  When all of a sudden, I am unaware of His afflictions eclipsed by glory, and I realize just how beautiful You are and how great your affections are for me.”  That’s a modern worship song!  No 7/11 there, and I lot of memorization for us guys. J

 

          So look at something right before you go to sleep.  Your subconscious will work on it for you while you are sleeping.  You’ll be surprised how easy it is.
