Lost and found



I had to go some place this weekend that I'd only been too once but as a passenger.  Isn't it strange, but as a passenger you are travelling on exactly the same route the driver is going but somehow we just are not cognisant of the directions.  It is only until we have done the route ourselves that it actually sets in.

Navigating our way through God's word can be exactly the same.  We may have heard the story a dozen times, but actually getting to the right spot can be difficult.  That's why practice makes perfect.  I remember at Sunday school that we learned a little song that ran us through the New Testament books in order.  It was set to music and therefore it became extremely easy to learn.

Maybe there are things you are struggling to learn in scripture.  Try putting the story to music in your mind, or paint a mental picture of some kind.  Using creativity is a wonderful way for us to learn to memorize where scriptures are.
