2026 Memory Verses

Memory Verses of the Month - January 2026

For 2026, our memory verses will follow the theme of “Joyful Living for Christ”. Perhaps the hardest times in which to Live Joyfully for Christ are the tough times. We all have them, probably more often than we would like. The problems in life could come in many different ways - financial, health, work related, family and other earthly relationships, and likely so many more. If we can’t get through these hard times, we can’t consistently have “Joyful Living for Christ”. What can we do? Our Memory Verses for January of 2026 are the first 2 verses of Psalm 121, and they answer that question.

Psalm 121:1-2 - I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. 2 My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.

If we are honest with ourselves, we will realize that the only real source of relief from times of trouble is Jesus Christ, and we need to turn to Him for help and comfort in those hard times. He made heaven and earth! Surely He will help restore joy to our life and our relationship with Him if we are willing to look to Him, trust Him, and submit to His will. If you really want to have “Joyful Living for Christ”, the only way to get it and maintain it is to trust Him to get us through the hard times.
