MY THOUGHTS:
James is one of my favorite books in the Bible. I memorized it once upon a time with my memory system I talked about in the video which has been very helpful to me. A missionary taught me how to do it.

HOW TO MEMORIZE SCRIPTURE:
If the verse is this:
James 1:1-2 - James, a servant of God and f the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes scattered abroad, greetings. 2 - My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into diverse temptations.

Write the Chapter & Verses at the top of an index card or index card roll, or notebook, journal etc:

James 1:1
1: J, a s o G a o t L J C, t t t t w a s a, g.
2: M b, c i a j w y f i d t.

Keep the capitalization and punctuation and put the verse # in front of the each new verse.

Then look at your letter code sequence and it will help you recall the words without reading the verse and eventually you will be able to recall the verse from memory, or at least parts, and it's a fun way to memorize.

This is so helpful and you can memorize whole chapters and books this way. Even if you can't remember every word perfectly or get it mixed up, you will start to have lodged more of the word of God in you. Soon when you need the verses in life, they will come up in your spirit and you can use them.

The Bible says in Psalm 119:11 (one of my favorite psalms which is really really long), "Thy word have I hid in mine heart, That I might not sin against thee."

God's Word in our heart helps us not to sin against Him because we remember His law and His covenant with us and we don't want to reap the bad things that come from disobeying Him and we want to reap the reward of loving and serving Him!

I highly recommend reading through the Bible once per year. It's about 3 &1/2 chapters a day to get through the Bible in a year, I recommend reading 5 chapters a day, but just keep reading even if you only read a few verses or a chapter or 2. The steady inflow of the Word of God is what will change your life. It can't help but change you if you keep on putting it before your eyes and becoming a student of God's word, the Bible. The people who go deep in Christ have a very strong habit of reading the Bible regularly. You will not go deep in Him if you do not learn to love the Word of God and dedicate time in it every day or regularly. You will realize in time how much you need and love it and will wonder how you ever lived without spending regular time with God.

Set aside a place in your house where you can get alone with God everyday. He wants to speak with you and reveal Himself to you. Our relationship with God is much like a marriage between a man and a woman. Marriage is a picture of our relationship with God. God calls us the "Bride of Christ." He is always pursuing us and we need to respond and seek Him first and that's when the close relationship with God really begins. He gives us everything we need in life. He already gave us His son to redeem us, and He promises to take care of every need and the desires of our heart if we will put Him first. So many just don't want to put Him first because something gets in the way - distractions that are usually meaningless or nothing compared to the value of an amazing relationship with our creator who loves us, knows us, and wants to be your closest friend that fills you with supernatural joy, peace, and His righteousness.

The Word of God cleanses us and sets our feet back on the right path if we let the Lord wash us with His word. Your time with the Lord must be guarded and cherished or weeds will grow in your garden that will choke out your love for God. Don't let the weeds steal this most valuable relationship in your life!

You belong to God. He made you. He loves you. He died and rose again for you. & He gave you His perfect word to learn from to understand His nature. He preserved His word throughout History and inspired men to record it and pass it on to us. Cherish it above food or pleasure and your life will have every good thing.
