"For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I have committed unto Him against that day." -2 Timothy 1:12
I heard of a lady who memorized so many verses of Scripture that she quoted them back to the Lord in praise to His name. However, when she grew old and began to lose her memory, she could only remember one verse, "for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I have committed unto Him against that day."
She would quote that verse over and over and over. Later, her memory deteriorated more and all she could remember was just the phrase, "committed unto Him." It brought her much comfort.
Finally, she came to a place where all she could say was, "Him." You can distill the Bible down to that one word, "Him." Spend the next couple of minutes quieting your mind, stilling your heart, and tuning all of your life to that one note of praise--Him.
God bless,
