Memorizing Scripture: How should I memorize?

I want to finish this short series on Scripture memory by offering a few more helps on how to memorize Scripture.

Word-for-word or general idea?
Should we memorize word-for word, or just focus on the general idea of the verse(s) we are memorizing? I have to go with word-for-word here. To just get the general idea could be more hurtful in the long run. For example, if you misunderstand the general idea, how can that truth be helpful? Memorizing word-for-word allows us to reflect more on what the author is saying so that we can better understand the idea being conveyed.

Verse Numbers
One common question when attempting to memorize scripture is should I memorize the verse number? Really, I believe it's up to you. Chapters and verses were added by men, not by God. I would however advise that you definitely know the book and at least the chapter that your verses come from. Memorizing it all is good, but I don't think it's essential.

Suggested Methods/Helps
1. Write your verses on an index card and carry it around with you. This way you can review throughout the day.
2. Involve all your senses. Read it out loud. Look as if you're photographing the words. Move when you read it. Use gestures when reciting verses. Get your whole body involved. This reinforces what you are memorizing even more.
3. REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW!!!! Even when you have a verse "down," don't forget to review it often. The best time to review is when you are struggling. This does two things - it encourages you to keep going, and it trains you to turn to God's word and to God himself when you are struggling. Review in the shower, in the car, lying awake at 3 AM. I cannot stress this enough. You lose what you do not use!
