it's that time again!! My, don't the 2 weeks roll by fast! I'm glad this is not a weekly thing, otherwise I don't think I'd have very many verses memorized. Two weeks is about perfect for reading the verses, saying them out loud every day, rolling them around in my head throughout the day, and meditating on them until they become second nature.
What verse do you choose for this 2 week timeslot? Give the verse, what translation you're using, and your name -- then let's encourage one another to hide God's Word in our hearts!!

I have been doing multiple verses each time, because I didn't join in until part-way through the year. But praise God! I'm up to my 18th verse too!!
ReplyDeletePsalm 103:5-8 (NIV)
"He will not always accuse,
nor will He harbour his anger forever.
He does not treat us as our sins deserve,
or repay us according to our iniquities.
For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
So great is His love for those who fear Him."
Praise You Jesus!!
Isaiah 26: 3,4,8 NLT
ReplyDeleteYou will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you!
Trust in the Lord always, for the Lord God is the eternal Rock.
Lord, we show our trust in you by obeying your laws; our heart’s desire is to glorify your name.
Sorry I've been so scarce the last couple of weeks. I injured my upper back/neck on Aug 28 (actually, a place that had been bothering me for years, but the straw finally broke this camel's back) and I've been flat out in bed in awful pain for the past 2 weeks!
Today I have surgery. I will be in the hospital just a couple of days, but I'm so looking forward to the relief from constant pain. . .
What a blessing that I will be carrying God's Word into that operating room. I can recite as I'm falling asleep; I can wake up to His Word in recovery.
This was not at all the September I had planned, but I am trusting the God who will fulfill His purpose for me (Psalm 57).
On a happy note, my grandson Matthew Dean Meredith was born just a week ago (9-9-09). I've gotten to lie next to him and touch him, but I'm just crazy with anticipation to hold that lil' guy in my grandma arms!
Granddaughter Payton Jane Holmes was born Aug 7; she's gaining weight and mommy and baby are doing well, and grandma already just misses her like crazy! Alaska is so far away. . .
Son Nate's launch service for his church plant was this past Sunday, in Midlothian, VA (another far away place). There were 75 people, and he sounded so excited and exhausted! The sermons are streamed through the internet, so mama gets to "go to church" with him! The day he came all the way to OR to visit was the same day my back went out, so he got to spend much of his time sitting by my bed watching DVDs and just talking.
Thank you ladies, for your faithfulness to God, and for your love of His Word. He is good to us!

Hi Mama Bev, Praying that all went well with your surgery and that you will heal well. May God provide you with all you need to sustain you at this time.
ReplyDelete2 Corintians 4:16-17
"We do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all."
Hi everyone, sorry this is late. I had done a post on the 15th and then my computer decided to shut down and I lost it all and haven't been back since. My verse is the one Beth chose, this is the first time I have used her verse but I got up that morning thinking I didn't have one and when I saw hers I really like the thought Has one of His called, chosen and faithful followers.
ReplyDeleteRevelation 17:14 NIV
They will make war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will overcome them because He is Lord of lords and King of kings--and with Him will be His called, chosen and faithful followers.
Beverly I hope your surgery went well and you will recover quickly. Judi I'm excited that you were able to catch up with your verses! Way to go!!
"Isaiah 45:3 NIV
ReplyDeleteI will give you the treasures of darkness, riches stored in secret places, so that you may know that I am the Lord, the God of Israel, who summons you by name."
I have not posted much on here however I read faithfully and receive much by what is written. Thank you everyone. Our move to London, Ontario has been a big change from Bradford and I have been so thankful that the one constant is Jesus who never changes!
Knowing that God summons me by name comforts me. I know that He has bigger plans than what I can see or understand right now. Praying for the treasures in the dark and riches in secret places!
Blessings,
Carla
