I can't believe it's already time for another Scripture memory verse to add to my collection. I don't have a list of verses I want to memorize, they just seem to come to me. When I read this one in my daily devotional this week I knew right away that it would be next. I want to be ready in case of an emergency for anything that might come my way. I want to be armed with verses that will apply to any situation.
I chose this one for many reasons. This particular picture had to be part of it as well. When I look at it I can't help but remember several things. First of all, it was the first Christmas after my sister passed away. I had given my parents that gift on my mom's lap. They had recently lost their business. At that time we had no idea my dad had cancer or that my mom would have to bury not only her oldest daughter, but her best friend who was sitting right next to her. When I look at that picture I notice my left hand has no wedding ring on it. I was divorced and a single mom. The tears on my mom's face tell it all. I also know exactly where that picture was taken. It was at my brother and sister-in-law's house that turned out to be too big for them to handle.
I do not understand why we have go through so much in this crazy world we live in, but... God knows.
Trust in the LORD with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding; (Proverbs 3:5)

Oh, that's a good one! I don't have one picked out yet. I have to get on that soon! Happy Sunday to you!
Your verse and post say it all...lean not on your own understanding...
How Great Thou Art...the song pierces my soul, today is the 1st time I have listened to it (twice) since I sang it at dad's funeral.
Have a blessed Sabbath!
Love, Annette H
Angie-
What a wake up call sometimes those trials hold. Each trial is to strengthen us for the next- and to force us into total surrender and total reliance on our Lord. So many of do things in our own understanding(I am stubborn), but in Isaiah the Lord reminds us that his thoughts are not our thoughts and his ways are not our ways!(Isaiah 55:8) Thankfully- I make a big mess at alot of things!
Loving Christ in each breath

Your heart is so tender toward the things of God. For faith to build, we get "opportunities" to trust Him. He loves you so!
Oh, I love that song, too. I feel Annette H's consolation in listening to your song, too, as it falls so fresh after losing her dad. We share that bond of losing someone dear but knowing they are with Jesus--may He comfort you as you trust Him more.
Love, Annette G
What beautiful words! And what a beautiful God! This whole scripture thing is a pretty cool thing. :)

Thanks for sharing your testimony...sharing overcomes!
"And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony, and they did not love their life even when faced with death."
Revelation 12:11
