Verse of the Day

[Bren]

When we moved to Discord for a while last year we had a verse of the day that I really enjoyed, and I thought it'd be nice to do it here since even the simple verses have nuggets of wisdom. We will see how active we can keep this.

Psalm 86:5
For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.

[KnittingFun14]

2 Timothy 3:16-17
"16. All Scripture is inspired by God and beneficial for teaching, for rebuke, for correction, for training in righteousness; 17. so that the man or woman of God may be fully capable, equipped for every good work."

[EugeneMeltsner]

Psalm 20:7 NIV
Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.

[Bren]

Todays verse is very fitting.

John 13:34-35 KJV
34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.

35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

Who will you show love to today?

[ByeByeBrownie]

1 John 4:10
This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.

[Bren]

1 John 3:11
For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.

[Danadelfos]

John 14:27

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.

Romans 8:38-39
38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,

39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

1 John 4:11-12
11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.

12 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.

Proverbs 17:9
He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; but he that repeateth a matter separateth very friends.

[Danadelfos]

Joshua 1:9

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

[Bren]

Joshua 1:9

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

That's so fitting for todays world.

[Danadelfos]

Psalm 89:52

Blessed be the Lord forever!
Amen and Amen.

I was finishing Psalm 89 this morning and for some reason I really appreciated how Book 3 of the Psalms ends with this verse.

[ByeByeBrownie]

"To do righteousness and justice is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice."
Proverbs 21:3

Jeremiah 29:11-13 - Revised Standard Version
<11> For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. <12> Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. <13> You will seek me and find me; when you seek me with all your heart,

[Danadelfos]

A few of my favorite verses, plus I'm reading through Hebrews occasionally and hit this section of verses this morning.

Hebrews 4:14-16

Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

I also loved the word picture from later in Hebrews 6:19.

We have this as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul, a hope that enters into the inner place behind the curtain,

Acts 4:10 - Revised Standard Version
<10> be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by him this man is standing before you well.

[Danadelfos]

O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? It was before your eyes that Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as crucified. Let me ask you only this: Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law or by hearing with faith? Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh? Did you suffer so many things in vain—if indeed it was in vain? Does he who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you do so by works of the law, or by hearing with faith— just as Abraham “believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness”?

~ Galatians 3:1-6

[Bren]

I'm not usually one to use other translations, but I love how the RSV puts these verses.

Philippians 4:6-7 - Revised Standard Version
6 Have no anxiety about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.

7 And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, will keep your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

It is perfect for the current season of life I am in.

John 3:17 - Revised Standard Version
<17> For God sent the Son into the world, not to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him.
