“When God’s Word moves from your head to your heart, real transformation begins. Scripture memory and meditation, paired with CHEW on This™, help you experience God’s love in a way that sticks and shapes your daily life.”
Why Pair CHEW with Scripture Memory and Meditation?
Memorizing and meditating on Scripture isn’t just for Bible trivia—it’s about letting God’s truth saturate your thoughts, emotions, and choices. When you combine these practices with the CHEW on This™ framework, you don’t just remember verses—you encounter God’s love and apply it personally, right where you need it most.
How to Use CHEW with Scripture Memory and Meditation
1. Choose a Verse or Passage
- Pick a verse that speaks to your current need, struggle, or longing (e.g., Romans 8:38-39, Psalm 23:1, John 15:9).
- Write it on a card, sticky note, or in your phone for easy access.
2. Memorize with Meaning
- Read the verse aloud several times, emphasizing different words.
- Break it into phrases and repeat throughout the day—while driving, walking, or doing chores.
- Invite a friend or group to memorize with you for encouragement and accountability.
3. Meditate and “Chew” on the Verse
- Slow down and reflect: What does this verse reveal about God’s love?
- Use the CHEW steps:
- Confess: Where do I struggle to believe or live this truth?
- Hear: What word or phrase stands out to me today?
- Exchange: Form a CHEW question—
“If I really believed [this verse], how would that change [my thoughts, feelings, or actions]?” - Walk: What’s one way I can live out this truth today?
4. Make It Creative and Memorable
- Draw, doodle, or color the verse in your journal or Bible.
- Set the verse to music or create a simple melody.
- Use breath prayer: Inhale the first half of the verse, exhale the second half.
5. Revisit and Review
- Review your memory verses weekly and reflect on how God has used them in your life.
- Share your favorite verses and CHEW questions with a friend, family member, or group.
Sample Verses and CHEW Questions
- Romans 8:38-39:
“If I really believed nothing can separate me from God’s love, how would that change my anxiety or fear today?” - Psalm 23:1:
“If I really believed the Lord is my shepherd, how would that change my sense of need or contentment?” - John 15:9:
“If I really believed Jesus loves me as the Father loves Him, how would that change my self-worth?”
Tips for Success
