Time for our next verse in the Scripture Memory Workout!
For you girls doing the MM&L Bible Study, how many of you are going to memorize Phil. 4:8 (I am - it's something I need to be reminded of) , or one of the other verses that have come up in the study?
I was struck by something Beth said in her post on the LPM Blog today:
"Scripture memory alone will just make you arrogant. Lapping up those Scriptures like they are the only spring in your desert will make you different"
Let's be sure we don't just memorize, but DO the thang as well!!!

Phil. 4:8 (NIV)
ReplyDeleteFinally, 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.
I'm not doing the ones from MM&L right now, but feeling led to memorize Psalm 103.
ReplyDeletePsalm 103:1-5
Praise the LORD, On my soul
all my inmost being, praise his holy name
Praise the LORD, O my soul
and forget not his benefits -
who forgives all your sins
and heals all your diseases,
who redeems your life from the pit
and crowns you with love and compassion.
who satisfies your desires with good things
so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.
My verse for today is Psalm 77:14
ReplyDeleteYou are the God who performs miracles; you display your power among the peoples.
I just got back from my trip with my granddaughters yesterday and so have not caught up on the MM&L study yet. I had hoped to continue while I was away but it just didn't happen so I am in catch up mode!!
Psalm 19:13 NIV
ReplyDeleteKeep your servant also from willful sins; may they not rule over me. Then I will be blameless, innocent of great transgression.
I committed Phil 4:8-9 about 6 weeks ago....love those verses!
Keep me from stupid sins,[O Lord], from thinking I can take over your work; Then I can start this day sun-washed, scrubbed clean of the grime of sin.

James 3:17 (ESV)
ReplyDelete"But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere."
Mildred, I love how the Message states that verse. Really gives me a picture - sun-washed and scrubbed clean from stupid sins. Sun-washed reminds me of hanging laundry on the line when I was a young girl and how fresh and clean it smelled! What a great thought for my closet I smell clean and fresh to my Lord.
ReplyDeleteDevote yourselves to prayer, with an alert mind and a thankful heart.
ReplyDeleteAnd pray for us, that we will have many opportunities to share this mysterious plan concerning Jesus Christ. That is why I am here in chains. Pray that I will proclaim the message as clearly as I should.
Be wise among those who are not believers, making the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be gracious and attractive, so you will have the right response for everyone.
Colossians 4:2-6 (NLT)
Philippians 4:8 and James 3:17 are my verses for August!
