Memorizing Isaiah 55:13
Monday, April 14, begins week 13—and the last week—of memorizing Isaiah 55.
This week’s verse (April 14-April 20):
Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress;
instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle;
and it shall make a name for the LORD,
an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.
Isaiah 55:13 (ESV)
Practice with first letters:
I o t t s c u t c;
i o t b s c u t m;
a i s m a n f t L,
a e s t s n b c o.
From The Message:
No more thistles, but giant sequoias,
no more thornbushes, but stately pines–
Monuments to me, to GOD,
living and lasting evidence of GOD.

This is a great part of Sunday now! And I really am getting the knack of it. So gratifying… Thanks for doing your part, Lisa.
It’s been great having you partner along, Floyd. Last week for Isaiah 55! We did it. God is good.
You can do it, Lisa! Good job. 🙂 I like the various memory aids we can come up with. They help, huh?
Re your comment on my post “What You Didn’t Know You Knew,” I didn’t know Steve Green had a rendition of it too. I’ll have to find that. Daniel and I just made up our own jingle. 🙂

I think we had two CDs from Steve Green with memory songs for kids. Loved them all! Hope you found it, although making up your own song might make you remember it even better. My daughters used to make up their own, but I was never very good at it. 😉
