Simply a Verse

[Honey]

How about a place to write a verse? You write one. I read one. Someone else writes one and we all read that one too. You can share your favorite and why it is so precious to you.



In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Genesis 1:1


How powerful is that one? I love it.

[TheCapitalist]

The Lords lovingkindnesses indeed never cease,
For his compassions never fail.
They are new every morning;
Great is Thy faithfulness.

Source of the hymn, Great is thy Faithfulness. My favorite hymn. "Morning by morning, new mercies I see." Dear to me thru my slow recovery from brain surgery. Every day, a little better. Slowly but surely. He was with me. Praise God.

Lamentations 3:22-23

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
And the peace that surpasseth all comprehension, shall guard your hearts and your minds in Jesus Christ.

Philippians 4:6-7

And:

And He has said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness." Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may dwell in me."

Gods grace is sufficient.

2 Corinthians 11:26

These are my favorites...

[katzeyez]

Ps 25:2

O my God, I trust, lean on, rely on, and am confident in You. Let me not be put to shame or [my hope in You] be disappointed; let not my enemies triumph over me.


I recite it daily.

[optimistik1]

Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.

John 20:29


One of my favorites....

[Honey]

He has showed you, O man, what is good.
And what does the Lord require of you?
To act justly, and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God. Micah 6:8

This is my favorite.

[katzeyez]

1Cor 13:4-8

Love endures long and is patient and kind; love never is envious nor boils over with jealousy, is not boastful or vainglorious, does not display itself haughtily.

It is not conceited (arrogant and inflated with pride); it is not rude (unmannerly) and does not act unbecomingly. Love (God's love in us) does not insist on its own rights or its own way, for it is not self-seeking; it is not touchy or fretful or resentful; it takes no account of the evil done to it [it pays no attention to a suffered wrong].

It does not rejoice at injustice and unrighteousness, but rejoices when right and truth prevail.

Love bears up under anything and everything that comes, is ever ready to believe the best of every person, its hopes are fadeless under all circumstances, and it endures everything [without weakening].

Love never fails [never fades out or becomes obsolete or comes to an end]. As for prophecy ([d]the gift of interpreting the divine will and purpose), it will be fulfilled and pass away; as for tongues, they will be destroyed and cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away [it will lose its value and be superseded by truth].

[optimistik1]

And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.
Joshua 24:15

[Honey]

Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. Matthew 5:5

[optimistik1]

But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you,

Matthew 5:44

[Honey]

So Naomi returned from Moab accompanied by Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter-in-law, arriving in Bethlehem as the barley harvest was beginning. Ruth 1:22

[optimistik1]

Ruth said, "Do not urge me to leave you or turn back from following you; for where you go, I will go, and where you lodge, I will lodge. Your people shall be my people, and your God, my God.
Ruth 1:16

[katzeyez]

Give not your strength to [loose] women, nor your ways to those who and that which ruin and destroy kings.
Proverb 31:3

Open your mouth for the dumb [those unable to speak for themselves], for the rights of all who are left desolate and defenseless;(B)

Open your mouth, judge righteously, and administer justice for the poor and needy.(C)
capable, intelligent, and [b]virtuous woman--who is he who can find her? She is far more precious than jewels and her value is far above rubies or pearls.(D)

The heart of her husband trusts in her confidently and relies on and believes in her securely, so that he has no lack of [honest] gain or need of [dishonest] spoil.

She comforts, encourages, and does him only good as long as there is life within her.

Strength and dignity are her clothing and her position is strong and secure; she rejoices over the future [the latter day or time to come, knowing that she and her family are in readiness for it]!

She opens her mouth in skillful and godly Wisdom, and on her tongue is the law of kindness [giving counsel and instruction].

Charm and grace are deceptive, and beauty is vain [because it is not lasting], but a woman who reverently and worshipfully fears the Lord, she shall be praised!

Proverbs 31:8-12; 25-26;30

[optimistik1]

“They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings as eagles. They shall run and not grow faint.”
Isaiah 40:31

[EricStratton]

"Call upon me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know"

Jeremiah 33:3

My daddy sent me this verse when I was going through a tough time and didn't know what I was doing with my life.....I've never forgotten it....

[optimistik1]

If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?
Matthew 7:11

[Nana]

The Lord is my shepard; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green
pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou
art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days
of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. Psalm 23

[optimistik1]

"Judge not that ye be not judged."
Matthew 7:1

[katzeyez]

1 Chronicles 4:10

And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying,
"Oh, that you would bless me indeed,
and enlarge my territory,
that your had would be with me,
and that You would keep me from evil,
that I may not cause pain!"
So God granted him what he requested.

[optimistik1]

The unfailing love of the Lord never ends? By his mercies we have been kept from complete destruction. GREAT IS HIS FAITHFULNESS; HIS MERCIES BEGIN AFRESH EACH DAY.
(Lamentations 3:22-23 - Living Bible)
This is my favorite verse - Great is Thy Faithfulness Unto Me!!

[optimistik1]

Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
John 14:27

[Nana]

The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy. Psalm 103:8

[optimistik1]

Let no corrupt communication
proceed out of your mouth,
but that which is good to the use of edifying,
that it may minister grace
unto the hearers.
Ephesians 4:29
