Ever feel like a whole chapter of Scripture is just too much to memorize?

What if you could stop reading it over and over and over, and build a memory technique of your own instead?

Friend, this week a listener asked for Psalm 91, the whole chapter, and I'm not just handing you a technique, I'm pulling back the curtain on how I come up with one. Sixteen verses looks overwhelming until you spot the shape: sixteen is a square, which means four sets of four. From there I show you two paths. The first gives each set of four verses a four letter word (WRAP, FATE, HEAL and ABBA), with a letter anchoring you to one key word in each verse. The second is the one I chose, DWELL IN THE SHADOW, where each of the sixteen letters points to a word hiding in its verse. And yes, I'm honest about the one verse where my technique gets a little wobbly. Plus a fun fact: Psalm 91 has no heading, so no author is named.

Then we sit with the picture in verse 1, what it means to dwell in the shelter of the Most High and abide in the shadow of the Almighty, so close that His shadow completely hugs you. We close with why I want this Psalm written on my heart, so I can pray it over my husband, my daughter and my parents without pulling it up on my phone, and why we need the Word as our sword. If you've ever stared at a long chapter and thought you'll never get it into your head, this one is for you. The rest of the map is your homework!

Verses mentioned: Psalm 91 (the full chapter, ESV), Psalm 139, Ephesians 6
