Here's another inspiring story.
Green Bay Packers' [now Seattle Seahawks] head coach Mike Holmgren looks back at a heartbreaking moment, when he was cut from the New York Jets as backup quarterback to Joe Namath, that directed him to a bigger plan.
"I had committed my life to Jesus Christ when I was 11, but in my pursuit to make a name for myself in football, I left God next to my dust-covered Bible.
But after getting cut from the Jets,
I pulled out my Bible and found comfort in a verse I had memorized in Sunday
school:
'Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
In all thy ways acknowledge him, and
he shall direct thy paths' (Proverbs 3:5-6).
"I asked Jesus Christ to take
control again. My priorities in life are faith, family, and football--in that
order."
Surely, there's power in memorizing and meditating God's Word.
Now it your turn to memorize!
In Him,
Don and Dawn
P.S. It's impossible to truly love God in your heart and live God's Word unless you have it committed memory.
