It's the 15th of July...time for verse #8. You have been so faithful in posting your verses. I am so excited for what God is doing in your lives as a result of meditating and memorizing His Word. Keep it up!! For those of you who have done a couple of verses, I encourage you to hop back on board. Don't let the busy-ness of life keep you from getting to know Him better. And for those of you who have not joined our Scripture Memory Team yet, COME ON! You will be amazed at what you can do and what situations you can get through because you know His promises to you. If you have any questions about memorizing Scripture...or how to even pick which ones to memorize, ask me. I'd love to help you on this journey of knowing Him more and more so that we can reflect His glory more and more.
I'm going to my family reunion this weekend and am so excited to get to spend time with them. This weekend there will be 45 people there ranging in age from 5 months to 85 years! And that's not even all of us--we number over 75...with 2 more on the way. I bring this up because I have been blessed to be part of a family that has had God at its center for generations. What a treasure that is!! I have chosen to memorize the following verses so that I will remember my part in showing the generations to come...and those already here...who God is and that He loves us so!
"For He established a testimony in Jacob
And appointed a law in Israel,
Which He commanded our fathers
That they should teach them to their children,
That the generation to come might know, even the children yet to be born,
That they may arise and tell them to their children,
That they should put their confidence in God
And not forget the works of God,
But keep His commandments."
Psalm 78:5-7 (NASB)And appointed a law in Israel,
Which He commanded our fathers
That they should teach them to their children,
That the generation to come might know, even the children yet to be born,
That they may arise and tell them to their children,
That they should put their confidence in God
And not forget the works of God,
But keep His commandments."
Now it's your turn. Leave a comment with your verse, reference and version. I can't wait to see all of your verses! Keep on keepin' on!!

Several of you have posted this earlier in our memorization. I've memorized it before but without reviewing it, has escaped my memory so I decided it was time to put it to memory again.
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable - if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things. Phillipians 4:8 (NIV)
OK, I'm following Nita's lead. I want to memorize this one for certain. Only, I'm using my old standby version (NASB).
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. Phillipians 4:8 (NASB)
"And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus" Phil 4:7
1 You, however, must teach what is appropriate to sound doctrine. 2 Teach the older men to be temperate, worthy of respect, self-controlled, and sound in faith, in love and in endurance.
3 Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good.
Yes...I am trying to catch up...watch me go... :)
