some of your favorite verse!

[babygirl]

i though that maybe we could all share some of our favorite verses.. i was at hastings the other day and got a devotional and it has really helped me through this period in my life..but anyways it's called starting your day off right by joy meyer and it is wonderful..but anyways last night it lead me to Psalms 6:6-10
6-i am worn out from my groaning, All night long i flood my bed with weeping, and drench my couch with tears.
7-My eyes grow weak with sorrow they fail because of all my foes.
8-Away from me, all you who do evil,for the Lord has heard my weeping.
9-The lord has heard me cry for mercy; the Lord accepts my pray.
10-All my enimies will be overwhelmed with shame and anguish:
they will turn back and suddenly be put to shame.
i hope that this may help some of you all as much as it helped me..have a great day! :)

Babygirl, she has some very good devotionals out. I have a couple but they are very old. Course they are never outdated.

The verses you have caught are very good. I have refered to them frequently when times are tough but we have only one great counselor, THE GOOD LORD & all things change, all things are suppose to change. We don't always have the answers as to why but we do see that most times it is for the best if we just wait & see. :huggs:

One of my favorites,
I can do all things through CHRIST who strengthens me.

I've posted this before but thought it might be worth repeating...

What I Have Learned

that maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had and what you've learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated.

LOL Okay.



If you cannot forgive, you burn the bridge over which you must pass.

When you throw mud at someone, remember you are the one losing ground.

When your knees knock-kneel on them.

A man wrapped up in himself makes a very small package.

He who is the happiest is he who gives the most happiness.


Give sound advice tactfully and receive it graciously.

Deal with faults of others as you deal with your own.

The only religion that will do any good is the religion which inspires you to do something toward enriching the lives of others.

Stop for a moment in your pursuit of happiness and just to be happy.


That's just a few, but it has a lot of different things that are worth remembering.

Thank you everyone. It has been a rough day* and this has helped.:huggs:

*and as I type this, I realize that my "rough day" is nothing in comparison to what some of the spinsters are going through -- I try to remind myself to keep everything in perspective.

I have a Devotional book that a dear friend gave me that I have on my bedside table, and read a few pages each night. Last night the devotion was based on Hebrews 13:5 "Be content with such things as ye have". The devotion that went with it was this:

Several years ago, a newspaper cartoon was drawn of two fields divided by a fence. Both were about the same size, and each had plenty of lush green grass.

Each field had a mule whose head stuck through the wie fence, eating grass from the other's pasture. The neighboring field seemed somewhat more desirable---even though it was harder to reach.

In the process, the mules' heads became caught in the fence. They panicked and brayed uncontrollably at being unable to free themselves. The cartoonist wisely described the situation with one caption: "DISCOUNT".

Like the mules, when we focus on what we don't have we become blinded to the blessings which surround us. There is nothing wrong with desiring something, but to think life is easier in someone else's pasture may not be true. Besides, no matter whose pasture we are in, we will always have to deal with the attitudes of our own heart.

If there is something you desire in life, perhaps a home, a better car, or even your own business, look to Jesus to help you bring it to pass. And while He is working on it, remember to find pleasure in what He's already given you.

(Copied from God's Little Devotional Book for Women"

We get so busy--sometimes we tend to forget & have to be reminded.

Thanks for sharing these with us.

[Heart]

These were all wonderful! Thank you, Babygirl, for starting this thread!:Spin!:

[KEETY2]

I liked that Marie-thanks for sharing.

Sometimes we are so busy working to get what we want we forget to enjoy all we have--sometimes it's too late.

This is my favorite. Matthew 21:22 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.

This was my Mom's favorite verse. Everytime I read the verse I think of her. She was one neat lady that I love and miss more everyday.

[baileyboop]

Because fear is something I struggle with almost daily in some form or another, I tend to lean on this verse...

Haven't I commanded you! Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord, your God is with you, wherever you go. Joshua 1:9.
