Way back in this post, I shared with you my 2011 goals. I'm happy to report that I've been working away at some of them. One of the goals was to memorize 24 Bible verses as part of a challenge put out by Beth Moore. I've been plugging away at it and am on my 5th verse of the year already. I thought I'd share the verses I picked with you.
Jan. 1st- Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. John 14:27 NIV
Jan. 15th- I wait for the LORD, my soul waits, and in his word I put my hope. Psalm 130:5 NIV
Feb. 1st- The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. "The LORD is my portion," says my soul, "therefore I will hope in him." Lamentations 3:22-24 ESV
Feb. 15th- "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the LORD. "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts." Isaiah 55:8-9 NIV
March 1st- Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations for ever and ever! Amen. Ephesians 3:20-21 NIV
The verses are so comforting and encouraging. It's been really fun to have something positive to meditate on when I'm getting ready in the morning or walking on the treadmill. And it's fun to see what verses my 2 friends pick when we email our choices back and forth.
