Deuteronomy 11-13

Moses passes on a very important set of instructions in 11:18. They were to put the words of God's in their minds; in other words memorize scripture. The Christian circles with which I intersect seldom discuss to benefits or discipline of scripture memorization. And I know that it is NOT something that just happens or is easy to implement in our life. But we know that Jesus considered it important, as did Paul. Both of these men recited numerous passages from memory. (Jesus did have a human brain with which he had to function while in the flesh.) I'm sure that they both enjoyed reading from the scrolls, but they had been trained as Moses instructed Israel and had hidden God's word in their inner most thoughts. That what we should do as well.
It took me about 15 minutes to read this passage.
