15th Scripture Memory

So, some people have the ability to update their blog daily, or at least a few times a week. Apparently I don't fit in that category! Blogs seem to be addictive to me, so when I hop on to update my blog, I also see the updates from other blogs I follow and they beckon me to come and read. I've kind of been on a computer hiatus except for the necessary check my e-mail once a day and pay the bills. I have to admit, it's been kind of nice. I gently ease back in, but with more control and less abandon :)

On to bigger things...I just realized this morning that today's memory verse marks one third of our challenge! So if you've been memorizing with me, we've been rewiring our minds to be the same as that of Christ Jesus, and this is our 8th verse. I'm so excited!

I chose to wrap two together this time since the first one is so short:

If you do not stand firm in your faith, you will not stand at all.
Isaiah 7:9b TNIV

Yet (she) did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in (her) faith and gave glory to God, being fully persuaded that God had power to do what He had promised.
Romans 4:20-21 TNIV

One last thing...if you'd like to look up your verse to see the original Greek/Aramaic/Hebrew words, check out some commentary on your verse, and more, check out


It's an excellent free tool!

You only check your email once a day?!!

I really like the Blue Letter Bible reference-thanks for posting that. I love that you can see all of the different versions in one place. When I looked up my verse, I decided I liked the NLT version the best.
You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, whose thoughts are fixed on you!
Isaiah 26:3 (NLT)

I love the Blue Letter Bible - they have a spot on there where it pronounces the Greek words!! I used it to learn some of the correct pronounciation of Greek key words in John.

and I love the verses in Romans you chose - those were some of mine from last year - when you have a moment, back up to Rom 4:17 Abraham Believed God, who gives life to the dead and calls things that do not exist as if they did... that was so powerful for some struggles i was going through to remember HOPE, that nothing is impossible with God even when stuff seems dead!

Blessings to you my friend.
