SMT Verse #2

Today's the 15th of April, and it's time to start on our second memory verse.  I pray that your thought life is already changing as you are hiding His Word in your heart.

If you haven't gotten your first verse completely memorized, don't give up!  Keep reading it every day...even if it isn't memorized word for word, you are getting His word in your head which can help drive out the lies that like to run around in there.

If you are just learning about the team, come on and join us now!  You can go here to find out more about what we are doing as well as sign up.  We (and HE) would love to have you on our team!!

I am going to memorize Isaiah 33:6 this time around.  I've been having a hard time deciding what version to use so it may kind of be a combo of two.  I love it in the NET version, but I also like the last line in the NASB.  Anyway, I've chosen this verse because I need the reminder that He is in control when my world seems to be spinning out of control.

"He is your constant source of stability; He abundantly provides safety and great wisdom; He gives all this to those who fear Him."  Isaiah 33:6 (NET)

"the fear of the LORD is the key to this treasure." (NASB)

Now it's your turn.  Leave a comment with your name, your verse, and the version.  You can also let us know why you've chosen that verse if you'd like.  If you are having a hard time choosing what verse to memorize, feel free to use mine or any of the team verses from this time around or last.  That's not cheating!  Just don't let the decision...or lack of one become a snare that keeps you from continuing on your steps to our goal of 24 verses.  Our enemy would like nothing better.  So, pick a verse and get it in your head so that it can change your heart!  Next time you see me, ask me to tell you my first verse...I'll be sure to do the same to you. =)  Let's hold each other accountable and continue to encourage each other as we take the first couple of steps in this incredible journey.

SMT Verse #1

And so our adventure begins!

I am so excited that we are beginning this year-long adventure together. I can't wait to see how God is going to bless this endeavor...in our lives, in our families' lives, and in our church. Make no mistake--there will be some blessing going on. God has promised that His Word will not return to Him empty but will accomplish what He desires and achieve the purpose for which He sent it (Isaiah 55:11). How awesome is that!!

Because of that promise, we do not have to stress out about what verses we choose to memorize. I will always post the verse I've chosen in case some of you are having trouble figuring yours out. (You'll find it below.) You are welcome to memorize the same one I or any other lady chooses. However, you still need to put your name and the verse in a comment to this post. It's a vital part of the accountability. Don't feel silly or like you've copied. That's what the Body of Christ is for! Many of the Scriptures I have chosen to memorize in the past were those I heard other teachers or leaders recite -- and I knew I wanted those words for myself. It's a normal part of discipleship so feel free!

The verses I have chosen to memorize this time around are ones that have been familiar to me, but I have just never fully memorized. My favorite hymn is also based on this passage. This month  happens to start a new year of my life...a year where I want to be purposeful in my pursuit of knowing Him more. As I reflect on this last year of my life and look forward to the next one, I want this one thing to resound in my mind...

"Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness." Lamentations 3:22-23 (NIV)

Now it's your turn. Let us know what you are going to memorize for your first verse. Be sure to type out the entire verse, reference and version when you leave your comment. We're all in this together. Let's continue to lift each other up and encourage one another in our pursuit of knowing Him more.
