I have been so excited about our first verse together!
Imagine how your next two weeks will go with this memory verse always on your heart. When your mind begins to be filled with anything wrong ( worry, fret, negativity, etc.).....you can replace it with Gods Word as you rehearse your verse! I would suggest you write your memory verse on several 3x5 cards . Put one in your Bible, one where you find yourself the most throughout the day ( your desk, the kitchen etc.), and one in your car. ( I keep one in my car on the dashboard and actually this is where my best memorizing time comes!)
After watching the news coverage of the devastation in Japan last Friday, I stumbled across this verse.
" He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress where I will not be shaken." Psalm 62:6
What an awesome reminder that Our stability in life comes only from Him. While I can not get to the people of Japan, I sure can pray that this scripture becomes a reality in their lives. One of the beauties of scripture memory is praying it for others. " Lord I pray that the people affected by the devastation in Japan are drawn to you, and that they find their salvation in you, and trust in you to be their rock and their fortress and not be shaken."
I want you to know that I will be praying for you these next two weeks as you work to memorize your scripture. I am gonna be peeking at the blog throughout the next few days, eager to see the scripture verse you've chosen. We are gonna be so blessed!
So now it's your turn. I will post the first comment as an example of how you each can do it. Choose the verse you'd like to memorize , quote the verse and include the text where it came from and the version you have used. Then if you'd like to share briefly why you chose your verse that can follow your verse.
Ok Scripture Sister.....let The Word of God fill your hearts!!!! I love you guys and am praying!
Psalm 62:6 "He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress where I will not be shaken." NIV
ReplyDeleteCrisis, loss of jobs, death, illness, troubles of all kinds will come into my life but in the midst of all, I want to remind myself and my loved ones where my stability comes from. Barby
Psalm 56:8 "You have seen me tossing and turning through the night. You have collected all my tears and preserved them in your bottle. You have recorded every one in your book." (The Living Bible)
ReplyDeleteHe sees me, all of me. Every tears,thoughts, concerns, He is there with me. ALWAYS
"Always be joyful. Keep on praying. No matter what happens, always be thankful, for this is God's will for you who belong to Christ Jesus." 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 NLV life Application study bible
ReplyDeleteThis verse is very special to me. I feel like God led me to this verse when my husband passed away. Even when we are sad, we can be joyful in the Lord. He is our comfort and strength.
"I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave Himself for me." NKJV The Word For Today Bible
ReplyDeleteThis is the very first verse I memorized and still meditate on when there are hard times. I am reminded that I belong to Jesus.
"Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and shall become united and cleave to his wife, and they shall become one flesh."
ReplyDeleteGenesis 2:24 (AMP)
As I read that verse, one of the things that is going through my mind is that a man is going to be leaving his parents, so he’s going to have to be independent of them. If he was dependent on them before, he needs to learn to be independent, in every way--financially, emotionally, etc. The second part of the verse talks about being united and cleaving to his wife. It doesn’t say to stop after he TRIES to unite and cleave but UNTIL they become one flesh. I think that’s such a key point that marriages miss nowadays. Couples try to make it work but then they give up before they even become one flesh. And it doesn’t say that the man shall become one flesh with the woman but that they both shall become one flesh. So that means both have to keep trying and they don’t stop until they get to the point where they become one flesh. I think the one flesh can mean that point when they can compromise and learn to offer one another grace, forgiveness, love, emotional security, intimacy, etc.
This verse is meaningful to me because my heart and passion is to help couples stay together. Any insight God gives me is going to be extremely valuable.
Hebrews 13:5
ReplyDeleteKeep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.”
Really struggling with being content in the place in life that God has me. A friend of mine posted this on facebook, "Comparison is the thief of joy." What a word that was for me, so I am going to be filling my mind with verses on contentment.
"I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rotted and established inlove, may have power together with all the saints to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge - that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations for ever and ever. Amen. Ephesians 3:16-21 (NIV)
ReplyDeleteNo I'm not an over-achiever. This is a life-time scripture for me and I've never gotten it completely memorized. So now it the time. Many, many life lessons and thoughts but notice how many times it says "his" - it's not about us. It's God's riches and power and love.
Mary's verse:
ReplyDeleteEph3:20-21 To Him who is able to do immeasureably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us. To Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations forever and ever amen!
I am always amazed at how much God has done, and continues to do for me.
I tried to post this yesterday but could not log into my gmail...so I am trying to do it under anonymous...here goes.
Jeremiah 15;16 " Your words were found and I ate them, and Your word was to me the joy and rejoicing of my heart. For I am called by your name, O lord God of hosts." Spirit Filled Bible
ReplyDeleteOnly as we keep His word close can we have true joy and be able to rejoice within. What an awesome God we have!!!
"For the eyes of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to Him." II Chronicles 16:9
ReplyDeleteI have always loved this verse and came across it again this week as I am now in II Chronicles as I'm reading through "The Message." There are so many things that distract and pull me away from being FULLY committed to God, but when I'm walking in obedience, it's such a joy to experience the strength and peace He gives!
Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work: If one falls down, his friend can help him up! But pity the man who falls and have no one to help him up! Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.

Women need relationships with each other--that's the way God designed us! Without these relationships we'd be isolated and miserable. From Focus on the Family THE BLESSINGS OF FRIENDSHIPS.

ReplyDeleteThis one of my favorite Scriptures, especially during times of doubt and uncertainty. I'm reminded that God is always near...supporting me and loving me.

Emily's verse
the reason why I chose this verse is because I am on I diet and i feel like this verse can really help me in certain situations. Plus I think the once I know and have it memorized I can use it to encourage the few people I'm doing the diet with. (-:[>•
I saiah 43:18-19
ReplyDelete"Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See,I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland."
I chose this verse because God is doing a new thing in my life. Blessings to all my scripture sisters!
