Do you make it a practice to memorize Scripture? I hope you do. It’s important to put Scripture into your heart and mind so the Holy Spirit can use it to help you avoid temptation, convict you of sin, comfort you, give you biblical truth to meditate on, remind you of ways to minister to others, and so much more.

Whatever your age or marital status, it’s a great passage for women to memorize, because it’s all about godly character. You may not have a husband to be “known in the gates as he sits among the elders of the land” (23), but as a single woman, are you a good reflection on your church and pastor? As a teen, does your behavior show others that your mom and dad have parented you well? Perhaps you don’t have children to “rise up and call you blessed” (28) or a “household” (15, 21, 27) to care for, but what about the younger women you disciple? Your nieces and nephews, or children in your neighborhood?
As I was memorizing this passage, I created a meme for each verse. I’d like to encourage you to memorize these 22 verses, and I hope these “memory memes” will help. Grab them and use them as your wallpaper or screen saver on your phone or computer. Make them your cover photo or your pinned post on social media. Upload them to a digital picture frame. Print them out and tape them to your bathroom mirror.
