Verse 8 - keep it going!


Good morning friends :)

Sunshine!! At least here... it's beautiful and makes for such a cheery Monday. I know, every day "is the day the Lord has made" but I find myself much more thankful for sunny days... ;)

I had a bit of a panic a few days ago... I realized I hadn't been reviewing my previous verses as faithfully and when I started to go over them, I was dismayed at the many mind-blanks and stumbling encountered! It only reiterated to me the importance of frequent review. 

And if any of you have a trick on how to remember where verses are found - please share. This has always been a problem for me and continues to be...  but I guess it is like anything else... it will come with practice. Practice. PRACTICE. :) 

I'm so glad you're still on this journey with me... let's keep going strong! By our repetition and meditation on these scriptures, we're allowing the Holy Spirit to mould our thoughts... and as Romans 8:6 says, the "mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace." It does come down to a choice... let's CHOOSE LIFE.

Time to share your verse :)

April 1! - Verse 7

Hi Everyone!

I hope you all had a wonderful Easter weekend. If you attended a bible conference, then you're likely exhausted, but hopefully refreshed deep in your soul. That is, unless you have young kids or served the whole weekend and didn't really hear anything (grin)... I fall into the first category, but did get a few snippets from the messages throughout the three days. Here's one that challenged me: 


"When we see the glory of God, we will grieve at the slightest of sins." A Robertson


How much my sin convicts me is a direct result of how close I have leaned into God and have taken in and appreciated His Glory and Holiness... "Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God Almighty!"


I was trying to find a segue back to Easter and the next quote I'm sharing, but... I'm coming up short, so I'll just share it for you to mull over as well. :)


"Even when darkness falls, and all seems lost, God is always working for His glory and our good, like He was on the cross." Louie Giglio

I have read so many powerful quotes this weekend on Twitter related to the Work of the Cross and the Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ... with I could share them all here :) So very thankful for the Cross and a Risen Saviour!


Ok - back to our verses! We're moving on to verse 7... how are you still doing with Verse 1?? Keep refreshing and reviewing... let's make sure these verses are implanted DEEP. :)


Have a wonderful day and enjoy the signs of spring popping up all around you...
