Do you memorise the Bible or you know where to look for the verse you want?
There is no need to try to memorize the whole Bible, in the sense of focusing on just one verse at a time and trying to remember every word of it, and its chapter and verse numbers, so you can quote them perfectly from memory any time you want to. Instead, focus instead on simply reading every verse of the Bible (Matthew 4:4) over and over, and over again, until just naturally, after years of diligently (and systematically) reading the Bible every day, every verse of the Bible will become engrained in your memory, not in the sense of word for word, but in the sense of key words and ideas. Then, whenever you want to locate the chapter and verse numbers of a verse that you are thinking of, simply search for one of its key words in a Bible software program that lets you search for all the verses in the Bible with that key word.
One way to read every verse in the Bible is to think of it as seven volumes:
1. Genesis to Deuteronomy
2. Joshua to Esther
3. Job to Song of Solomon
4. Isaiah to Malachi
5. Matthew to Acts
6. Romans to Philemon
7. Hebrews to Revelation
You can read a chapter in each volume every day. This will keep you current in every part of the Bible. After a while, there won't be any part you haven't read recently enough to remember what it says. When you reach the end of a volume, simply start again at the first chapter of that volume. In this way, you will be cycling through smaller volumes like #6 and #7 much more often than larger volumes like #2, but the smaller volumes are so much more dense with doctrine, it can be profitable to read them over and over more often.
Also, you can listen to recordings of people reading the Bible, whenever you need to keep your eyes on something else while you listen (such as keeping your eyes on the road while you drive, or on a cutting board while you're preparing food, or on your clippers while you're trimming a hedge). In this way, you can listen to the Bible throughout the day, whenever you don't need to be thinking about something else (such as at your workplace). Also, you can listen to the Bible even while you're going to sleep, so that it will become part of even your subconscious mind.
