Psalm 119:9-16
Davie's school bus arrived at his home, but he didn't get off. He must have missed his bus, thought his mother, who was watching for him. His mom quickly drove to the school, and when Davie wasn't there, either, she phoned several of his friends. No one knew where he was. His mother was very relieved when a school bus pulled up at the school with one child on it-Davie! "I got on the wrong bus!" he tearfully told his mother. "I forgot my bus number." When they got home, Davie told his older brother all about it. "I wish I rode the same bus as you do, Drew," said Davie. "Then I wouldn't get lost. I know my address and phone number, but now I need to know my bus number, too." He looked at Drew solemnly. "It's important to remember all kinds of things." "Right!" agreed Drew as he grabbed his jacket to go out and play. "Before you go out, you'd better learn your memory verse for Bible club," said Mom. "I can do it after dinner," replied Drew, helping himself to an apple. "Dinner!" exclaimed Mom. "Oh, no! I need a couple of things from the store for the meal I was planning for tonight, but in all the excitement, I forgot about dinner." "It's important to remember to feed your hungry husband-and especially your hungry children," teased Drew in a deep voice like Dad's. "That's something you should never, ever forget!" Mom laughed. "Okay," she said. "I'll just change the menu and fix something different for my hungry family. And while I make dinner, you can study your Bible verse. That's something you should never, ever forget." Drew shrugged. "Why?" he asked. "Why can't I just read verses from my Bible whenever I . . ." "I know my verse," interrupted Davie. "When I was on the wrong bus, I said it over and over so I wouldn't be scared." "There's your answer, Drew," said Mom, smiling at the little boy. "Davie didn't have a Bible with him, but the verse in his memory gave him peace of mind in a scary time. Knowing God's Word can help you in all kinds of situations." HOW ABOUT YOU? Do you wonder why you're encouraged to learn Bible verses? Have there been times when a Bible memory verse popped into your mind and gave you help or peace about something? That may not have happened to you yet, but it does happen frequently as people go through various situations in life. And remember-the more Scripture verses you know by heart, the more help you will have available in your everyday life. TODAY'S KEY VERSE: I will meditate on Your statutes. Psalm 119:48
