God made our brains so they are very efficient. To recognize a penny you don’t need to remember every detail because a real penny is going to always look pretty much the same.
You just need to quickly see that it is a coin not a token from Chucky Cheese or a washer from a hardware store.
After you realize it is a coin the only thing you need to recognize is that it is a penny not a quarter, dime or nickel. From the color, size and picture you can do that without paying attention to the details too much.
But, when the details are mixed up like they are here, and there are a lot of similar coins with slight variations it becomes much harder. So which one is the real penny?

Knowing how our brain works helps us to see why it is so important to study God’s Word. When we know His Word we can make the right choices (like choosing a penny out of our pocket) without having to stop and think about it.
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.
Philippians 4:8 (NIV)

















Learning Bible verses is one of the best things you can do. A lot of times you need to learn them for Sunday School or Vacation Bible School, but sometimes it is good just to learn them on your own.
