Default Give me one verse.

Give me one verse.

I know this may sound silly to some, but I need one verse from the Bible… from anyone. Just pick the first verse that comes to your mind and post it here. Once that is done, let the Holy Spirit have control of this thread. Let the Holy Spirit tell you what to post next, but for now, start with one verse and let’s see what God does with it.

Blessings to all
Dean

Default He chastises you as He would His son

Hebrews Chapter 12

5 And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as to sons:
“My son, do not despise the chastening of the LORD,
Nor be discouraged when you are rebuked by Him;
6 For whom the LORD loves He chastens,
And scourges** every son whom He receives.”

First Letter of Paul to the Corinthians Chapter two:

(1) When I came to you, brothers and sisters, I did not come proclaiming the mystery of God to you in lofty words or wisdom. (2) For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified.

Hey, Larry II
How are things really going now since that other "desperate" post? Are things going better? Is God with ya?

I thought of the above verse when I read it. No matter what you are going through, if you count it as a test, knowing that God loves you as a son, and you stick with Him, even when you don't feel like it, you'll get through. I have not gone through anything like that yet in my short time of surrendering. But I hope to be prepared when it happens. So far, I've had nothing but joy in my journey.

Also, someone said on that post if you keep praising Him through your trial, it will confuse the enemy who is attacking you and throw him off guard. Just keep praising Him. I thought that sounded good. Bonnie

Hello Bonnie

You gave me two verses there, but verse 6 was in blue, so I looked at that one first. I have maybe a dozen things highlighted in my entire Bible. Hebrews 12:6 is one of them, and that is the one I needed.
So… how does it feel to have God speak through you?

Isn’t it great?

God bless
Dean

Romans 8

1THEREFORE, [there is] now no condemnation (no adjudging guilty of wrong) for those who are in Christ Jesus, who live [and] walk not after the dictates of the flesh, but after the dictates of the Spirit.

Psa 119:71 It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes

Job 13:15 Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him.


Yeah Dean I know that was two but those are two that sustain me no matter where I walk.
Much love in Christ, Larry.

Nothing wrong with two.
I asked for one and I got two. It’s like Joyce Meyer says, “Double for your trouble”.

Amo 3:3 Can two walk together, except they be agreed?

This is the one that came to my mind this morning.

Isaiah 55:6 Seek the Lord while He may be found, call upon Him while He is near.

Isaiah 26:3
Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.
This verse has meant much to me.
