SMT Verse #4

Alrighty, Scripture Memory Ladies!  It's the 15th and time for our 4th verse.  We are getting to the end of the school year which brings so many extra things into our schedules.  It is so easy to get overwhelmed and feel like there is just no way that we can do even One.More.Thing.  But let's not give up on learning His Word.  If you need to stretch your verse over the whole month...that's okay.  Just don't quit.

I want to encourage you to stick with our ultimate plan...to get God's Word into our hearts and minds.  This leads me to the verses I've chosen this time around.

"For the mouth speaks out of that which fills the heart.  The good man brings out of his good treasure what is good; and the evil man brings out of his evil treasure what is evil.  But I tell you that every careless word that people speak, they shall give an accounting for it in the day of judgment. For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned."  
Matthew 12: 34b-37 (NASB)

I don't know about you, but I know that makes me really want to fill my heart with good treasure!  Now it's your turn.  Leave a comment and let us know what verse you have chosen.  Be sure to include the entire verse, reference and translation...since someone may choose to memorize your verse as well.  And as always, if you are having trouble deciding what to memorize, you can use mine or one of the others chosen for this time around or the previous times.  There's no shame in copying! =)

Keep on keepin' on!

SMT Verse #3

It's the 1st of May, so it's time to get the third verse in our little spirals and start memorizing!  Let's keep with it ladies...we don't want any quitters on our team. =)  If you haven't joined our Scripture Memory Team yet, you can go here to find out all about it.  We'd love to have you become a part of this awesome group as we are learning together and holding each other accountable. 

This time around I am going to memorize a verse that I often paraphrase but have never put to memory.   I want this written on my heart.  When the storms hit me from the outside and when the pity party rocks me from the inside, I want to be remember where my focus should be.

"Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things."  Philippians 4:8 (NASB)

Your turn.  Leave a comment and let us know what verse you will memorize this time around.  Remember to give us the verse, reference and version.  Feel free to let us know why you have chosen this verse if you'd like.   If you are having a problem choosing your verse, feel free to use this one or one someone else has chosen...either this time around or in the past.  Just look on the left under 'Labels' and choose 'SMT'.  Then take a look at the comments.

Keep with it ladies!  Oh, and if you'd like to share how God is using this in your life, we'd love to hear it.
