I saw the flashing lights in my rear view mirror. I pulled over. When the officer came to my window he asked, “Do you know how fast you were going?” I looked down at my speedometer and replied, “Romans 8:11”
Ooops!
My Women’s Group were discussing how we memorize Scripture. One lady passed on to someone else about how I put mine on an index card to look at and ponder throughout the day. The person said it made a difference in her life in just one day.
I love it! The Word of God is powerful!
Another lady said when she was a delivery driver, she would use a post it note and put it on the steering wheel. Which lead me to my example. I guess I didn’t do it right. Maybe I shouldn’t have put mine covering the speedometer!
If this actually happened, what a great opportunity it would have been to explain my verse and why I had it on a card. I wonder if that would have talked me out of a ticket!
This Bible Verse Memorization Fairy Tale was brought to you God, who wants you to seek Him intimately every day through His Word. It is very much worth it.

I like to commit short passages of scripture to memory and then say then throughout the day. I write them on little note cards that I keep in a ring. Here’s one of my favs:
“Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, fervent in prayer” Romans 12:12.
I often follow this with my 2nd fav:
“Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good. His love endures forever.” Address temporarily forgotten. 😌
God Bless, Sister Super-C!

Cool post Cindy, I love the story 😁
What if the officer was in a bad mood and quipped “Romans 6:23a…the wages of sin is death!” ?
