7G . The Wilderness Challenge
Here is 7G - your final tranche of Bible Verses to recite, meditate on and memorise. Congratulations, over the last seven weeks you have added to your bible verse memory banks. Memorising in this way aids holiness and strengthens faith. I selected these scripture verses and themes (loosely) from one hundred texts recommended by Irish Church Missions (sold to me in 1966 for 2d). I trust and pray that they have given you a balanced view of the gospel over these last seven weeks. My own testimony is that scripture committed to memory in this way will later provide comfort, courage and guidance to face the trials and joys in life’s journey.
At the end of each week there is an audio of all seven verses (eight this week). This week we have added a compilation of all 50 verses for you to continue to practise and refresh your memory. I believe this will be a good resource for you.
Once again - c o n g r a t u l a t i o n s.
