Thy Word

Psalm 37:3-6  
Trust in the Lord and do good;
    dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.
 Take delight in the Lord,
    and he will give you the desires of your heart.
 Commit your way to the Lord;
    trust in him and he will do this:
 He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn,
    your vindication like the noonday sun.
My husband and I are committing to scripture memorization.  We want to have God's word on the tip of our tongues, present in our minds, and convicting our hearts.

Our pastor has been encouraging us to take our time of prayer to the next level, and to make God's Word more central in our lives.

I  plan to memorize these verses since they have been helpful to me this week.


II Cor. 12: 8-10
Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. 10 That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
