"Some time ago a friend of my mother said to her, 'Dolores, I feel so stupid when I study the Word of God. I just don't seem to remember anything at all.'
"Quite wisely, my mother responded, 'Lou, do you remember what you ate for breakfast on Tuesday, three weeks ago?'
"Her friend looked at her, rather stunned, and replied, 'Well, no, I don't.'
"Mama explained, 'It still supported and nourished you, didn't it?'
"Get the point? Just keep reading the Bible. You may not remember everything, but the Word is flowing into your spirit. And as it does, it's giving you abiding strength and sustenance as you simply obey and read."
