Hey y'all! ❤ As you can see, In All Faithfulness has a new look - again. I'm still working on editing it and designing it, so it may be a bit inconsistent for a little while. Thanks for your patience! I'd love to hear your feedback and ideas. Contact me through the little box at the bottom of the page if you'd like.
Anyway, back to the post.

Tonight I just wanted to take the time to share with you several of my favorite pieces of Scripture.
Scripture is pretty incredible. I mean, it's God speaking to His people. Too often we take that for granted. The God of the universe gave us His holy word to read at our own will...who doesn't have time for that? But now I'm getting off topic. The point is, scripture is to be cherished greatly and shared among fellow believers.
As many of you know, I was hospitalized just this past week for many days, and scripture was a sole source of strength for me during those times. When things were silent and I was left alone with only the thoughts in my head...I was reminded that I need only be still, the Lord would fight for me(Exodus 14:14). When things were panicked and I feared the future...I was reassured that He was already there, for I know He goes before me (Deuteronomy 31:8).
There will come a time in every one of our lives where we may not have access to a Bible...and all of a sudden your memory is the only resource you have. I once heard about people in China who have no access to Scripture...I heard about how they will weep together if they can even get a glimpse of God's word. Not even just a couple tears but from the depths of their souls they will weep and cry out for their God.
And I've never forgotten that...because it reminds me of how much I take the privilege of having His Word at my fingertips for granted.

I hope that you, too, will find some encouragement in these verses. I made them all myself, so feel free to copy and share them as you'd like.

Yes! I have found memorizing Scripture to be VERY beneficial. There've been so many times where I was struggling with an issue or was in a convo with someone and suddenly the right verse would pop into my mind.
ReplyDeleteI have so many favorite passages of Scripture but my current favorite is Psalm 34:1-10.
