We are down to the last three verses, ladies! I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and that the holidays give you some extra time to spend in His Word. :)
James 1:17 NIV
Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.
"And Mary said: 'My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior.'" Luke 1:46-47
ReplyDeleteMERRY CHRISTMAS, LADIES!! :)
"Blesses is the man who trusts in the LORD. He is like a tree planted by water, that sends out its roots by the stream, and does not fear when heat comes for its leaves remain green, and is not anxious in the year of drought, for it does not cease to bear fruit." Jer. 17:7-8
ReplyDeleteThanks, Deb, for setting this up, & Merry Christmas to all of you!
“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.”
ReplyDeleteRomans 12:2 ESV
Merry Christmas Everyone!
“The Lord protects the unwary; when I was brought low, he saved me. Return to your rest, my soul, for the Lord has been good to you.”
ReplyDeletePsalm 116:6-7 NIV (another version says that He has "dealt bountifully with you").
I have not been able to relax or rest recently (insomnia grips me at times) and my daughter is sick today (pinkeye and flu) so I'm feeling weary, anxious. So this verse I found this morning- I say it as a prayer, that God will protect me, to save me when I am low, to help me return to rest (in my soul and physical rest), and I thank Him that he has been good to me / us. We have been bountifully blessed.
"Be ye kind one unto one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another as God in Christ has forgiven you. " Ephesians 4:32. I can hardly type it with out the "doodlee doos" at the end!
ReplyDeleteThe end of the matter; all has been heard. Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. Ecclesiastes 12:13 ESV
ReplyDeleteStill working through the Romans 12 passage, though to squeeze it in the passages are getting a bit long, but I am finding they are great reminder of how we need to live as Christians. I am working on remembering what we are called to be and not specific wording. 'Bless those who persecute you, bless and do not curse them. Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. Live in harmony with one another. Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly. Never be wise in your own sight.' Romans 12:14-16 (ESV)
ReplyDelete“With my whole heart I seek you; let me not wander from your commandments! I have stored up your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you.”

Is not your fear of God your confidence, and the integrity of your ways your hope? Job 4:6
