The Question A friend asked me recently what verses came to mind when I was stressed out, or which I could think of off of the top of my head. I was a deer in headlights. I froze. I couldn’t think of anything. She then asked me if I had a verse or two that…
I am victorious! Revelation 21:7 He who overcomes will inherit these things, and I will be his God and he will be My son. These things mentioned in this verse are: And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is among men, and He will dwell among them,…
I am holy and without blame before Him in love. Ephesians 1:4 just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him in love I don’t usually feel holy or blameless, yet I know that through the forgiveness of God and the blood…
Psalm 122:9 For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your good. Spock, on Star Trek, always believed that the good of the many outweighed the good of the one. Today that’s a somewhat shocking thought; however, he’s probably right. And he’s probably closer to the truth, too. That’s not the point I wanted…
I don’t know if it’s because I’m still in the middle of a struggle to understand all this (all that I’ve learned about the words I read, the Hebrew mindset, the Torah, etc.), but I used to think of God as warm and comforting, as someone I could snuggle into when I was afraid and…
Psalm 119:37 Turn away my eyes from looking at worthless things, [And] revive me in Your way Take my eyes from considering emptiness; return me to life in Your manners/moral character. Sometimes I’m very selfish. Probably more often than I’d like to admit. It’s especially bad when I’m tired. I also tend towards being non-confrontational…
Galations 2:20 I myself no longer live, but Christ lives in me. So I live my life in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. This is one of those verses that is very deep and is often quoted in Christian circles. The part…
1 Corinthians 14: 1-3 Let love be your highest goal, but also desire the special abilities the Spirit gives, especially the gift of prophecy. For if your gift is the ability to speak in tongues, you will be talking to God but not to people, since they won’t be able to understand you. You will be…
1 Corinthians 10:31 Whatever you eat or drink or whatever you do, you must do all for the glory of God. I’m starting a new semester today at my job. And because we’re on block scheduling, one of my classes will be completely new and the other two will be a little mixed up with…
Romans 16:25 God is able to make you strong, just as the Good News says. It is the message about Jesus Christ and his plan for you Gentiles, a plan kept secret from the beginning of time. I’m thankful that God can make me strong because there are so many areas where I need strength…
