Memorize: Inspirational Bible Verses For Children

Help your kids memorize inspirational Bible verses for children and they will carry God’s Word wherever they go. You can’t be with them 24/7. God can. 

We all want our children to form good habits, such as brushing their teeth, being polite, and doing their homework. But memorizing inspirational Bible verses should become a good habit, too. Teaching your kids this discipline is one of the greatest gifts you could give them.

Habits are powerful. The earlier you establish them, the better they’ll stick. For example, your mom probably taught you to brush your teeth when you were a young child. Once you’re an adult, how often do you forget to brush your teeth? It’s just part of your routine, isn’t it?

“Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it” (Proverbs 22:6; NKJV).

But how can you help your children incorporate scripture memorization into their daily routines? Allow me to share with you a few Bible memory tips. See below for some Bible verses for children that have been made into printable memory cards.

Let your children see YOU memorizing inspirational Bible verses.
