A New Devotional to Start Your Year
3m read
Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee. - Psalm 119:11
There are few things more powerful than having a word of Scripture for just the right occasion at just the right time. This can only happen if we have made the effort to memorize Scripture before those moments come. But if you’re like me, you may find that your memory is like a sieve where verses I know today are easily forgotten by tomorrow. So what can we do to make it easier for us to hide God’s Word in our hearts?
Unsurprisingly, the Spirit of Prophecy gives us just the tool:
As the children of Israel, journeying through the wilderness, cheered their way by the music of sacred song, so God bids His children today gladden their pilgrim life. There are few means more effective for fixing His words in the memory than repeating them in song. And such song has wonderful power. It has power to subdue rude and uncultivated natures; power to quicken thought and to awaken sympathy, to promote harmony of action, and to banish the gloom and foreboding that destroy courage and weaken effort. - Ed 167.5
So taking this suggestion from Inspiration seriously, we are happy to announce the launch of Scripture Songs on AudioVerse!
Available right now, we have nearly 400 songs in our library appropriate for all members of the family to start committing portions of the Bible to memory. Just visit the new Scripture Songs section of our website to start listening now! Support on our mobile apps will roll out with the next version set to be released very soon.
We are grateful to a number of wonderful partners who have allowed us to share their scripture songs freely with you. Some of them also offer their music albums for sale and we highly encourage you to visit their websites to order their CDs if you’d like to get a hard copy for your collection or to share as gifts. Here are the scripture song partners whose songs you can find on AudioVerse at launch:
A large number of our songs have come in partnership with Scripture Singer, a website and app specifically dedicated to Scripture memory through music. They have recently relaunched their new and improved website and apps, and we encourage you to visit them for a focused Scripture song experience.
Moreover, we know that many of our users have musical talents and may wish to contribute their own Scripture song compositions to the library. Scripture Singer is our partner that will handle any Scripture song submissions where approved songs can be featured on both platforms. Please contact Scripture Singer directly if you have questions about submissions.
Another exciting announcement is the release of our latest Journeys Unscripted story tract. This newest one entitled “Forgiven” is Dianne Wagner’s story of her journey with God after suffering the traumatic consequences of an abortion in her youth. You will be blessed with this inspiring story of the Lord’s healing grace after a painful past. You can order this tract to stock your church literature racks or to share with your friends now in the AudioVerse Store.
On behalf of the AudioVerse team, I want to thank you for your continued support as we press forward in our mission to provide resources to help prepare ourselves and others for Jesus' soon return. Whether by filling our minds with Scripture or handing a tract to a friend, may we ever be faithful in well-doing because He IS coming soon!
His Word in my heart,
Alistair Huong
Executive Director
