Benefits of memorizing scripture

The book 'Desiring God' by John Piper encourages christians to memorize scriptures.
Benefits as below:

1. Comformity to Christ
Bible memorization will make our gaze on Jesus to be steadier and clearer. As 1Sam3:21 said "The Lord revealed himself to Samuel at Shiloh by the word of God".

2. For our daily triumph over Sin
Psalm 119:11 I have stored up your word in my heart that i might not sin against you. The one piece of armor used to kill is also 'the sword of the Spirit' which is the word of God. Eph6:17.

3. Daily Trimph over Satan
When Jesus was tempted by Satan in the wilderness, he recited Scripture from memory and put Satan to fight.

4. To comfort and counsel people whom you love
" A word fitly spolen is like apples of the gold in a setting of silver" Proverbs 25:11.
Blessing will flow from our mouth if we have the heart full of God's love and mind full of God's word.

5. Communicating gospel to the unbelievers
Gospel sums up of God's holiness/ law/ glory, man's sin/rebellion/disobedience, Christ's death for sinners and free gift of life by faith. If we are able to learn a verse or two on each of these we would be ready in season or out of season to share it with the people around.

6. Communion with God in enjoyment of His person and ways
Storing texts in our minds about God helps us relate to Him as He really is.
