It's the 15th of October...and that means it is time for our next memory verse! For those of you who have been part of our Scripture Memory Team from the beginning, I am so proud of you. We have committed to memorizing two verses a month. I know that some months have been harder than others...and some verses have been harder than others. I am proud of you for sticking with it!! For those who started, then stopped, and now want to jump back in...WooHoo!!!! Welcome back! If you are just finding out about this, join us! You can read more about it here...and don't worry, it is NEVER too late to start memorizing God's Word.
Here is the verse that I have chosen this time around:
"For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases Him."
Philippians 2:13 (NLT)
So many good things in that little verse! I am very aware and grateful that God is working in me. And not only is He giving me the desire to do what pleases Him, He is giving me the power to do it. I can strive and strive to do what I think He wants and fail every time. But when I let go of my stubbornness and self-sufficiency--my PRIDE--He is able pour His grace upon me. Praise the LORD!!
Now it's your turn. Leave a comment with your verse, reference and translation. If you don't know what verse to memorize, feel free to use a verse that one of your sisters has chosen this time around or since we began this journey together. You can go to the top right of this page under 'Labels' and click on the SMT link. It will take you to all the SMT posts. You can read the verses I have chosen or check out the comments to see what others have chosen throughout the last six months. I can't wait to see what God has placed on your heart to memorize!

Okay, so it's already October 21st for me, but God woke me up this morning to spend some time with Him. As I was going through the study we're doing in Ladies' Bible Study on obedience, I directly questioned God, "What is it you want me to do, Lord?" And He directed me straight to this verse -- one I have heard before, but could have no way found on my own again.
"He has showed you, O man, what is good, and what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God." Micah 6:8 (NIV)
O Lord, help me to do just that!
Sorry, I am behind in posting. I was stuck in Lubbock for a couple extra days due to car problems. These verses are a continuation of verses I am memorizing for my Daniel bible study.
"He reveals deep and hidden things; He knows what dwells in darkness, and light dwells with Him. I thank and praise you, O God of my fathers; You have given me wisdom and power; you have made known to me what we asked of you, you have made know to us the dream of the king." Daniel 2:22-23 (NIV)
I liked Brit's so much I am going to copy her :)
For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases Him.
Philippians 2:13 (NLT)
