God instructs us in the Psalms to store up His Word in our hearts (Psalm 119:11). I love that picture God wants us to tuck His promises into our heart so that, no matter where we are or what we’re doing, we can pull them out and be strengthened by their truth.

…practice what my friend Mike Bullmore calls ’strategic Scripture memory.’ Start with passages that define and describe the gospel.

Here is the Scripture that C.J. Mahaney lists:

• 2 Corinthians 5:21
• Romans 8:31-34
• Isaiah 53:3-6
• Romans 3:23-26
• Romans 5:6-11
• 1 Corinthians 15:3-4
• Galatians 2:21
