The View From Here

So I have missed a week or two of this.  My apologies.  We are still working to memorize them and I would encourage you to do so as well. Having God’s word memorized in our mind and heart will go a very long way in our sanctification as well as helping us to encourage others with truth.  Here they are:

Rom. 11: 34 - 36

For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has been his counselor? Or who has given a gift to him that he might be repaid?  For from him and through him and to him are all things.  To him be glory forever. Amen.

Rom.  12: 1 - 2

I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.  Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the perfect will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

Sorry this one is a little late.  I forgot to write it down before I went to Canada.  Lucky for me I have an incredible wife who got it to me so I could start memorizing and post it here.  Here you go! 

Deuteronomy 10:12-13
And now, Israel, what does the LORD your God require of you, but to fear the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, to love him, to serve the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul, and to keep the commandments and statutes of the LORD, which I am commanding you today for your good 

Happy Memorizing!

My wife and I are starting a memory verse program.  We will be memorizing one verse per week and I would encourage you to memorize with us.  I will post the verse to memorize up here every week as a reminder to me to be memorizing and so that you can participate if you want.  It is so important not only to read God’s word but to know it.  It is our weapon against the schemes of the enemy.  We must know it to use it effectively.  Also, if a verse really speaks to me this will give me a chance to convey that.  Without further ado, here is the first verse.

Know therefore that the Lord your God is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love Him and keep His commandments, to a thousand generations.

Deut. 7:9

This verse has been especially encouraging to me this last week.  I have been going through a rather dark time of doubt and this verse has reminded me that God is God and of his faithfulness to His people.  Be encouraged, God is faithful to do what He says.
