SMT Verse #8

Wow!  This day has gotten away from me.  So sorry I didn't get this posted earlier.

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)

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!!

SMT Verse #7

Hey Ladies!  Can you believe it??? We are now on our 7th verse!  I pray that you are gaining as much from this journey as I am.  I can't tell you how many times God has used these verses in my life for the last 3 months.  Sometimes I've felt that I've chosen the memory verse randomly, but then circumstances occur in my life and I KNOW that God has led me to get those verses in my head and my heart!

I've chosen my verse this month for two reasons...the first being that we are celebrating our great country's independence.  I am so proud to be an American.  I know that our earthly freedoms did not come without sacrifice.  I am so thankful to the service men and women in our armed forces and for their families.  They give so much to protect our freedoms.  The second reason I've chosen this verse is infinitely more important...because we have a Savior who sacrificed His own life so that we could be free.  I want that freedom!  God and I have been working on specific strongholds that have enslaved me.  So, I'm claiming this verse...standing firm in His promise.

"It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery."
Galatians 5:1 (NASB)

Now it's your turn.  You know the drill.  Know that I'm praying for each one of you!  If you haven't joined our Scripture Memory Team, we'd love to have you on board.  You can go here to read about our 2 verses/month commitment and why we are filling our hearts and our heads with TRUTH.

I pray that you will choose to live in true freedom...it comes from Him alone.

SMT Verse #6

What's up CAMPERS!  Oh wait, wrong audience. =)

It's the 15th of the month, which means it is time for our next verse.  I may be at camp with a bunch of screaming pre-teens, but that won't stop me from adding my next verse to my spiral...in fact, it will probably drive me to it even more. =)

"And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work."

2 Corinthians 9:8 (NIV)

I love that word "all"...doesn't really leave anything out!  And I'm sure I'm going to be clinging to this promise by the time Friday rolls around.

Your turn to share your verse, and I'm sure we'd all love to hear why God has led you to this verse this time around.  By the way, with this verse we are now a quarter of the way to our goal.  Great job Ladies!  Keep up the good work!!  Oh, and go ahead and leave a comment with your verse.  I'll get them approved as soon as I can, but I may not be able to get to them until Friday...but don't let that keep your from starting on your verse.

If you have a chance, Melanie and I would LOVE your prayers this week.

Keep on keepin' on!
