God is my source of help with that.
He also started to point the importance of undertanding!!!
Paul Anderson-Walsh said, "It is not the text, it is the commentary that counts. Not simply knowing what the Bible says, but understanding what it means."
David prayed for understanding (Read Psalm 119). He meditated on the things the Lord revealed, said or explained to him.
If you are to ask me today what is better memory or understanding, I would reply: understanding!!!!! The Bible does not say, "Get memory, Memorize everything!!!" But it does teaches us to "get wisdom, get understanding." (Read Proverbs, esp. chapters 3 and 4).
Matthew 13:19 and 23
When anyone hears the message about the kingdom and does not understand it,
the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart.
But the one who received the seed that fell on good soil is the man who
hears the word and understands it. He produces the crop, yielding
a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown.
