Memorizing Scripture is beneficial because it: 1. Helps to renew your mind and change your thought life, establishing permanent change in your entire manner of life and conduct (Joshua 1:8; Psalm 1:2-3). 2. Follows the example of the Lord Jesus Christ (Matthew 4:1-10). 3. Equips you to use Scripture in everyday situations (for example: Acts 2:16-21, 25-28; 3:22-23; 13:40-41, 47). 4. Allows God’s Word to be the foundation of your life (Deuteronomy 6:6-8). 5. Provides guidance (Psalm 119:24, 105). 6. Develops confidence in witnessing (Isaiah 55:11). 7. Establishes a fountain to conquer temptation (for example: Matthew 4:1-10) and to gain victory over sin (Psalm 119:9-11). 8. Becomes an integral part of your prayer life (for example: Acts 4:24-31). 9. Enables you to teach, counsel, encourage, and build up others in the Body of Christ (Colossians 3:16). 10. Provides a basis for meditation On God’s Word (Psalm 119:15-16, 97). 11. Makes the Word of God readily available for comfort (Psalm 119:52). 12. Keeps God’s Word ready to refresh or revive (Psalm 119:93). 13. Provides stability in your spiritual life (Psalm 37:31; 40:8). 14. Gives you the truth so that, at times of need, you are ready to answer others concerning your source of hope (Proverbs 22:17-21; 1 Peter 3:15).

INGREDIENTS

1/2	lb	Lentils
1		Onion, chopped small
1		Carrot, cut into chunks
1		Potato, cut into chunks
2	tb	Margarine
1	tb	Flour
		Water
		Thyme
		Salt
		Black pepper

INSTRUCTIONS

Heat up the margarine in a deep saucepan.  Fry the onion, carrot and potato
until soft.  Stir in the flour.  Add the lentils and enough water to
generously cover the lentils. Cook the lentils until tender, adding enough
water as needed to keep the stew thick. (The lentils will grow and absorb
water.)  While it is cooking, add thyme, salt, and pepper to taste. (Thyme
should be the dominant spice.) Serve over rice (I cook S. Indian fluffy
rice for this.)
