Verse of the day

[jacks girl]

I don't get a lot of time to take the Bible out and read it so I had an Idea. CW is always open and I always look at the new posts. So lets all take a turn now and then at popping up a verse and letting people know what Version it's from and just do a little reading and discussions of the verse of the day.

What do you think? May be if all goes well. We can have more than one verse of the day.

I don't have time right now supper needs to be on the table but I'll get in later. Who wants to start. Or do you think this is a terrible idea.

[lynnmosher]

Since it is almost the end of the day where we are, Jacks, post one in the morning. I think it's a good idea. Thanks!

[WritingChaos]

Proverbs 15:15(Amp): "All the days of the desponding afflicted are made evil (by anxious thoughts and foreboding), but he who has a glad heart has a continual feast (regardless of circumstances).

I really needed to read that today. Maybe it will give someone else peace.

[jacks girl]

I read your verse in many different Versions thanks to Bible gateway.

I liked this one the best and might i say thanks much for posting this.
The Message
15 A miserable heart means a miserable life;
a cheerful heart fills the day with song.

[lynnmosher]

Praise from a grateful heart provides me with the Bread of heaven, no matter what nips at my heels to take it away!

[jacks girl]

cool lynn did you make that up.

[lynnmosher]

Yup! 'Cause that is exactly my attitude! Oh, and thanks!

[jacks girl]

My verse for the day. I read several versions and i like these two the best.

Romans 8
Living by the Power of God's Spirit Contemporary English Version)
1If you belong to Christ Jesus, you won't be punished. 2The Holy Spirit will give you life that comes from Christ Jesus and will set you [a] free from sin and death.


Romans 8 The Message
The Solution Is Life on God's Terms
1-2With the arrival of Jesus, the Messiah, that fateful dilemma is resolved. Those who enter into Christ's being-here-for-us no longer have to live under a continuous, low-lying black cloud. A new power is in operation. The Spirit of life in Christ, like a strong wind, has magnificently cleared the air, freeing you from a fated lifetime of brutal tyranny at the hands of sin and death.

[jacks girl]

Just bringing this back into the open threads so a few more people can check it out and see if they want to join in.

I love Romans Jacks. Generally I just read the KJV, but I do appreciate a little variety every once in a while.

My favorite verses are John 15:11-14 (KJV)

"These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. This is my commandment, that ye love one another, as I have loved you. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you."

They hold a powerful message of love. And I'm a kind of person who needs lots of that...

[lynnmosher]

How 'bout this one?

"Remember that I have commanded you to be determined and confident! Do not be afraid or discouraged, for I, the Lord your God, am with you wherever you go." Josh. 1:9 Good News Bible

[Rachel E.]

Wow Lynn,

That is powerful and so helpful to me at this time. Thank you!

[Mouse5]

Lynn, I read that verse a week or so ago. It stood out then and it is standing out once again. Thanks for sharing. :)

[jacks girl]

I did a some looking on Bible gateway .com and found these
John 15:11-14 the message
11`I have told you these things so that you may be glad in the same way I am glad. Then you will be very glad always.

12`I am telling you to love each other as I have loved you.

13The strongest love anyone can have is this. He will die to save his friends.

14You are my friends if you do what I tell you to do.

15I do not call you servants anymore, for the servant does not know what his master is doing. But I have called you friends because you know everything that my Father has told me

The Message Joshua 9 1
Haven't I commanded you? Strength! Courage! Don't be timid; don't get discouraged. God, your God, is with you every step you take."


New life version Joshua 9 1
Have I not told you? Be strong and have strength of heart! Do not be afraid or lose faith. For the Lord your God is with you anywhere you go."

[lynnmosher]

I love to read many different versions. It so helps to get a fuller understanding of scripture. I also study the definitions in Greek and Hebrew. So awesome!

Rachel (I love your verse also) and Mouse, I am so glad this verse touched you both. I knew the Lord had me put it here for a reason. Blessings!

[WritingChaos]

Interesting posting with those verses.

[lynnmosher]

This verse from Deut. 31:6 is personalized...

"I am strong, courageous, and firm; I fear not and am not in terror, for it is the Lord my God Who goes with me; He will not fail me or forsake me."

[Mouse5]

Ohh... good one Lynn! I'm going to have to get a little notebook to keep all these good verses I keep seeing in.

[lynnmosher]

Good! Thought you'd like that one!

[jacks girl]

Busy today. Thanks Lynn for the good verse.

"Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know." Jer. 33:3 NKJV

[jacks girl]

You know Lynn the first time i read that I seen.

"Call to Me Jack and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know." Jer. 33:3 NKJV

i was so sure it was there but when i went back i seen that it wasn't there. But i would have promised you that it was there. I needed that direct speaking to me even though it was only in my minds eye. Thanks for minding the Lord and posting that verse.

it was a morning boost.

Jacks

[lynnmosher]

Praise the Lord! Another verse I knew I should put there. And you know, that's the way scripture should be...personal. It is there just for you. We should all read it as if our own name was in it.

There is book you can get with scripture that is personalized. My sister-in-law gave me one. One the red leather cover, the title says this..."If You Love Me Lynn...Obey My Commandment".

This book won an International Angel Award for excellence in media as the most outstanding devotional book of the year, in 1990, I think it was. I think one costs $15. Here's the address if you'd like to get one for yourself or as a gift...

Jack's told me 'bout this thread, so I'll post waht I posted inthe prayer section over at CW:

Psalm 107

1 O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.

2 Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;

3 And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south.

4 They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in.

5 Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.

6 Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses.

7 And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.

8 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

9 For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.

10 Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron;

11 Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the most High:

12 Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and there was none to help.

13 Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses.

14 He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in sunder.

15 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

16 For he hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder.

17 Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted.

18 Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw near unto the gates of death.

19 Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saveth them out of their distresses.

20 He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.

21 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

22 And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing.

23 They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters;

24 These see the works of the LORD, and his wonders in the deep.

25 For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof.

26 They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble.

27 They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wit's end.

28 Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses.

29 He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.

30 Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven.

31 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

32 Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders.

33 He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and the watersprings into dry ground;

34 A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.

35 He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground into watersprings.

36 And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation;

37 And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of increase.

38 He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and suffereth not their cattle to decrease.

39 Again, they are minished and brought low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow.

40 He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander in the wilderness, where there is no way.

41 Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction, and maketh him families like a flock.

42 The righteous shall see it, and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop her mouth.

43 Whoso is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the LORD.

This is a personalized verse of 2 Timothy 1:7...

[jacks girl]

5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding;

Today's Bible Reading Pr. 3:5,6; 16:1-4,9; 20:24; Jer:10:23

From today's Sunday school reading and my cross-references:

Proverbs 3:5-6 (New International Version)
5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
6 in all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make your paths straight.

Proverbs 16
1 To man belong the plans of the heart,
but from the LORD comes the reply of the tongue.
2 All a man's ways seem innocent to him,
but motives are weighed by the LORD.
3 Commit to the LORD whatever you do,
and your plans will succeed.
4 The LORD works out everything for his own ends—
even the wicked for a day of disaster.
9 In his heart a man plans his course,
but the LORD determines his steps.

Proverbs 20
24 A man's steps are directed by the LORD.
How then can anyone understand his own way?

Jeremiah 10
23 I know, O LORD, that a man's life is not his own;
it is not for man to direct his steps.

[lynnmosher]

"God is faithful (reliable, trustworhy, and therefore ever true to His promise, and He can be depended on); by Him you were called into companionship and participation with His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord." 1 Cor. 1:9 Amp

[lynnmosher]

"Go through His open gates with great thanksgiving; enter His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him and bless His name." (Ps. 100:4 TLB)

Been out of it for a while. But been studying in the old Bible some. I like Psalms not sure what number and not sure i have an exact quote will look it up later.

They that Trust in the Lord shall be as mt zion which can not be moved but abideth forever.

[lynnmosher]

It's Psalm 125:1, Jacks. Here it is in the New Living...

"Those who trust in the LORD are as secure as Mount Zion; they will not be defeated but will endure forever."

Good one!

[jacks girl]

BOOK I : Psalms 1-41
1 Blessed is the man
who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked
or stand in the way of sinners
or sit in the seat of mockers.

and on his law he meditates day and night.

My absolute favorite and inspiration for my novel ...
