What if we don't have every word from all 66 books of the Bible stored in our thought closets, how will we know the truths to tell ourselves, and how will we know on what to meditate? The best way, of course, is to commit as much of God's Word to memory as possible. But we don't speak to ourselves with Scripture quotes all day long. We don't supply our meditations with "thus saith the Lord" and nothing else. Let's be practical.Try to memorize Scripture.
