“I have hidden your word in my heart so that I won’t sin against you.” Psalm 119:11.

Scripture memorization is a discipline, no matter where—or when—you live. But it doesn’t have to be a chore.

Now, through the mobile app Bible Minded, Scripture memorization is easier than ever. Bible Minded allows you to access preselected memorization plans or build your own plan.

Once you’ve set your plan, you can test your progress through audio review, fill-in-the-blank or flash cards and set the app to remind you to test yourself again in a day, a week or a month.

Why is it important to memorize Scripture? A look at II Corinthians 10:5 explains: “We pull down every proud obstacle that is raised against the knowledge of God; we take every thought captive and make it obey Christ.”

To take “every thought captive,” our minds need to be saturated in the Word of God. Having access to Scripture on a digital device is a wonderful tool, and one that God can use. But there’s no substitute for the instant access our minds can provide when we’ve devoted ourselves to memorizing the Word.
