I am going to start out by testing myself on my first two verses. I know I choose simple verses, but I want them to stick in my brain in those times I need them most either today or in the future. It's difficult to decide on the scripture to memorize, but when I saw this today I knew it was for me. I don't always like the power I have in my relationship with my husband. It seems that when "I" am good then "we" are good. It's in my own hands... When I take every thought captive to make them obedient to Christ, He won't disappoint me. I don't want to be a fool!
"And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit whom he has given us." (Romans 5:5)
"We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ." (2 Cor 10:5)
"The wise woman builds her house, but with her own hands the foolish one tears hers down." (Proverbs 14:1)
His Word continues to bless me and is music to my soul!
Have a great Sunday!
Love,
Angie xoxo

It is very wise to choose simple verses because, for me, in the heat of the moment when I need them, I need them! I don't want to be scrambling words in my head trying to get it right. I need, "Perfect love casts out fear." or some of the other very direct ones planted that speak to me when my mind is not clear. I love your verse choices and since you told me you were going to be asking me about mine, I've been working on it. I still don't have it down, but I'm trying again. I am glad this week's is more familiar to me. Blessed hope in His Word. Love you dear friend, Annette
"Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. - Ephesians 3:20-21 (NIV)
It's so wonderful how very little words can be so powerful. Thank you for sharing this with me today. God has stirred something in my heart with this verse.

ok...let me just be the one to say this. My brain is so old and cluttered. There are files there that haven't been opened for a while...but I know I need to hang on to them. Whatever else goes in these days needs to be simple and esy to remember. So I am with you on the simple verses, my dear. I always think that if a child is going to memorize something...for Pete's sake, let it be something he understands. The older I get, the more I realize that is good advice for me too.
thank you for your transparency in admitting that you have the "power". God will reward you just for recognizing that.
i still dont' know what my new memory verse is, but i'm sure God will tell me before the day is over.
love ya,
Sheryl
Angie - I love your blog. Very uplifting :). Do you have a goal for your memory verses? Good choices. Blessings!
Wonderful verse! So true Ang and a great reminder to me as well!
Thanks for the wonderful music, we sang it at dad's service yesterday...love your verse, mine is 1 cor 2:9
But as it is written:
What no eye has seen and no ear has heard,
and what has never come into a man's heart,
is what God has prepared for those who love Him.
You are so right to choose verses with meaning and not worry with the length. I know it is so hard when a Bible study tells me to memorize a verse a week. I can't do that as easily. The verse has to have specific meaning to me so I can fully cling to it. I have been successful at memorizing "forced verses" some years ago and the jist of the meaning as stuck with me.
If I've said it once, I've said it 1000 times, I wish, wish, wish, I could memorize like the whole book of the Bible. In reading, I find so many that say, pick me, pick me.
My last two blog posts indicate what I've been memorizing. Wait...maybe just the last post. I'm posting again today, time allowing. It's powerful...power I say...in Him.
I know what you mean about not liking the power in your relationship with hubby. Been there. Please continue to pray for me and my beloved. No contact but still I'm believing in His power to restore, heal, and resurrect the deadest of dead marriages burnt through the divorce system 15months ago.
Love ya,
Paula
Oh, is this your house? I like it.
Proverbs 14:1 One of my favs...God used the thought of me tearing down my own house to bring revolutuion and humility to my marriage. Great reminder!!
