				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Most of us wish we had better memories. It&#8217;s not only that a better memory would probably mean better grades and therefore a better job; we also see the benefit of a better memory in our spiritual lives.</p>
<p><strong>Why Memorize Scripture<br />
</strong>If we could memorize Scripture better, we would be able to recall God&#8217;s Word to help us in our trials, we would be able to counsel and comfort others better, we would be able to pray more in line with God&#8217;s revealed will, and we would be more effective witnesses and evangelists. We&#8217;re not short of motivation, are we!</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a short video of Gary George explaining <a href="http://www.christianity.com/bible/bible-study/why-is-it-important-to-memorize-scripture.html" target="_blank"><em>Why It&#8217;s Important To Memorize Scripture</em></a>.</p>
<p>The read Tim Challies on <a href="http://www.challies.com/christian-living/why-memorize-scripture" target="_blank"><em>Why Memorize Scripture</em></a></p>
<p>You might also be inspired and encouraged by <em><a href="http://mashable.com/2014/04/05/memory-champion-nelson-dellis/" target="_blank">World Memory Champion, Nelson Dellis</a></em>.</p>
<p>The secret to his success?</p>
<p>It wasn&#8217;t innate ability or his genes; he says he has very ordinary abilities. It was hard work (four years of training five hours a day) and motivation (he was shocked into improving his memory by his gran&#8217;s Alzheimers). Have a look at this <a href="http://mashable.com/2014/04/05/memory-champion-nelson-dellis/" target="_blank">amazing infographic</a> to see what he is now able to do.</p>
