Hello once again. This is part 2 of my GA bible verse challenge. I hope that those who are participating are enjoying the challenge. And challenge it is, I might add!! With my busy schedule, I'll be honest and tell you that I don't always give the gospel as much time as I should. With the Ga's memorizing these verses (at least I hope they are because I am working my butt off trying to learn these), it forces me to take a look as well.
Anyways, I tried to broaden the categories of types of verses this time. Lets think of these verses as tattoos on our heart that should never disappear because the Holy Spirit is helping us memorize! We will need them during times of pressure, or stress, during Sunday school or when searching for help through God. I know I will need these verses with me in my daily life, especially through my deployment.
Sometimes we forget that the answers to our prayers are right in front of our noses. I like to think of God as our teacher. Do you remember as a kid, asking questions in school? The answer was always, "read the text or open your book." I hated when teachers told me that. Sometimes its easier when the answer is told, but when you research the answer, you truly learn better. That's why teachers don't just tell you the answer.The bible is our reference and even when we feel lazy, the answers are there, waiting for us to learn.
These verses could be the basic foundation of building a steady humble life for the Lord. It is better for us to know and understand these short key verses than to fall asleep trying to read something we don't understand because it is too long. That's why I'm glad I've teamed up with the GA's, I like the simple, short, sweet, truth of these verses. I don't feel so overwhelmed because they aren't long or intimidating. I've focused these verses directly on the GA's, so that they will be able to benefit from them. They are short and uplifting because I remember being their age. Sometimes I just needed support from friends in knowing that God was there. Either way, lets continue this fascinating journey with God, and keep up the steady pace. How many verses will we eventually be able to memorize? I'm not counting!
