So, I started writing this really fabulous post yesterday. It was a big bloggy topic and the more I wrote the MORE I WROTE. It was just so long it could have been a 10-part series. And I felt bad throwing it on you. It was too heavy. And had too much information. I am definitley in the the-more-words-the-better when it comes to reading novels, but I think I may need to work on reducing my words when it comes to blog posts.
*whew*
Anywhoo. In an effort to be LESS long-winded and focusing LESS on MY words, here are the…
TOP TEN SCRIPTURES I’VE BEEN READING, THINKING ABOUT OR JUST LIKING LATELY
Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one.Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates.
Speaking of which: Look at the FREE DOWNLOAD of this print that Naptime Diaries made for Impress Your Kids? Go get one!
“…man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD.”
I’m not going to put the whole scripture here because it’s kinda long, but it’s the prayer Hannah prays after Samuel is born and she is going to send him to the temple to live. Such a beautiful song of praise during a heart-wrenching time. Worth a read!
(I’ve been reading the Savoring Living Water ebook and this scripture was in Chapter 3 about prayer. GOOD STUFF.)
4. Isaiah 58:8
Your light shall break forth like the morning, your healing shall spring forth speedily, and your righteousness shall go before you; the glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard.
The speed and movement in this verse astounds me!
5. Psalm 139:14
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
This is the memory verse for the preschoolers at church this month. It’s also from my favorite chapter in the Bible. We even have special shirts at church this month that say, “God made me FANTASTIC!”
6. John 3:30
He must become greater; I must become less.
After my Jimmy Needham post yesterday and Lisa-Jo’s post yesterday, I can’t get this verse out of my mind.
Praise the LORD, my soul, and forget not all his benefits— who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases,
That just about covers it, doesn’t it? Body and soul—whole, complete.
8. Genesis 2
This is the account of God creating Adam and Eve. He FORMED them with His own hands. He didn’t call them forth the way He did the sun, the animals and the plants. He crafted them. Psalm 139 (above) also tells us that he KNIT us together in our mother’s womb. Wow. God piecing us together. He knows us intimately!
Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.
This is the verse the kids and I are learning right now. We’re working on learning HOW to be an example of each thing mentioned. It’s a big job!
10. What verse has God been speaking to you about lately?
