Here is a poem I composed about Bible reading and studying. It also applies to Scripture memory. I pray that each of you may learn to love the Word of God greatly through our time with the Bible Bee. The Bible is a Book full of treasures that God desires us to explore. By reading and studying and memorizing His word we are able to know Him better. This is my prayer for all of you, that you will gain treasure from His word abundantly.
Book of Treasure
How often when we read the Book,
Do we forget to take a look?
For Truth within the cover there,
Or words of Wisdom, pure and fair.
The Bible is God’s Word so pure,
It is divine, rooted and sure.
Trusting in others is absurd.
The Book of Treasure is God’s Word.
The key to unlock this Treasure:
His Word in our hearts with pleasure.
Searching for Wisdom so we find,
Jewels so rare, His Word divine.
The Bible is God’s Word so pure.
It is divine, rooted and sure.
Trusting in others is absurd.
The Book of Treasure is God’s Word.
So take a look within God’s Book,
Digging for a much deeper look,
Seeking the Lord with all your heart.
His Word has treasure to impart.
The Bible is God’s Word so pure.
It is divine, rooted and sure.
Trusting in others is absurd.
The Book of Treasure is God’s Word.

I Hide Your Word Within My Heart
I hide Your Word within my heart
To keep me safe from sin;
For where Your truth is in control
No lie can enter in.
I shine Your Word upon my path
And walk within its light;
For where Your wisdom shines, O Lord,
It drives away the night.
I trust Your Word with all my heart
And give You thanks and praise;
For all the beauty of Your truth
That stands from age to age.

This song seems to capture the truth of why we are hiding God's Word in our heart for the first place.
The reason we memorize Scripture is not to win an award or to go to nationals (though all those are great if they happen). Rather, it is to hide God's Word in our hearts that we may know God better and that we may worship Him for is great and awesome deeds.
This is the reason we memorize!
In Christ's Love,
Marie
P.S. If any of you get a chance, the music to this song is very simple to sing and could easily be used for your Bible Bee summer get togethers or for your local contests. This song is in "The Celebration Hymnal" #411.
