Ezekiel 41 opens with these words: “He brought me to the temple, and measured the posts, six cubits wide on the one side, and six cubits wide on the other side, which was the…” The line to keep is Ezekiel 41:1: “He brought me to the temple, and measured the posts, six cubits wide on the one side, and six cubits wide on the other side, which was the width of the tent.” Carry the word “brought” from that verse into the rest of the day.
Ezekiel 41 is a real chapter from the Old Testament. It starts, “He brought me to the temple, and measured the posts, six cubits wide on the one side, and six cubits wide on the other side, which was the width of the tent.” That is not a motto invented for a poster.

The line worth learning out loud is Ezekiel 41:1: “He brought me to the temple, and measured the posts, six cubits wide on the one side, and six cubits wide on the other side, which was the width of the tent.” If the rest of the chapter feels crowded, hold that one sentence until the room is quiet.
What happens first in Ezekiel 41? Then try this: Read “He brought me to the temple, and measured the posts, six cubits wide on the one side, and six cubits wide on…” once more. What does it show you about God? You do not have to finish every verse. You can close the book after the memory verse and still have read the Bible together.
“He brought me to the temple, and measured the posts, six cubits wide on the one side, and six cubits wide on the other side, which was the width of the tent.”
