Before I can move forward though, I feel like I need to finish what I started. I finished my commitment of memorizing Scripture with hundreds of other siestas through Beth Moore's Living Proof Ministries blog. Many of us got together in Houston, Texas, over January 20-21, to celebrate this accomplishment that only God's strength and enlarging of our mental faculties made possible. While I failed to post my verses I was working on here, I did post them on Beth's blog {that was one of the requirements of the challenge}. But to have a record of what the Lord enabled my mind to dwell many, many minutes on, here are the remainders:
May 15 ~ 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 ESV "Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body."
June 1 ~ Acts 3:19-20 TNIV "Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord, and that He may send the Messiah, who has been appointed for you--even Jesus."
June 15 ~ Ephesians 1:4 HCSB "For He chose us in Him, before the foundation of the world, to be holy and blameless in His sight."
July 1 ~ Ephesians 1:7-8 HCSB "We have redemption in Him through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace that He lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding."
July 15 ~ Ephesians 1:11-12 HCSB "We have also received an inheritance in Him, predestined according to the purpose of the One who works out everything in agreement with the decision of His will, so that we who had already put our hope in the Messiah might bring praise to His glory."
August 1 ~ Ephesians 1:17-19 HCSB "I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, would give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him. I pray that the perception of your mind may be enlightened so you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the glorious riches of His inheritance among the saints, and what is the immeasurable greatness of His power to us who believe, according to the working of His vast strength."
August 15 ~ Psalm 103:13-14 NLT "The LORD is like a father to His children, tender and compassionate to those who fear Him. For He knows how weak we are; He remembers we are only dust."1 Corinthians 2:9 NLT "This is what the Scriptures mean when they say, "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love Him."
September 1 ~ Exodus 14:14 TNIV "The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still."
September 15 ~ Deuteronomy 23:14 NIV "The LORD your God moves about in your camp to protect you and to deliver your enemies to you. Your camp must be holy, so that He will not see among you anything indecent and turn away from you."
October 1 & 15 ~ Isaiah 55:6-11 TNIV "Seek the LORD while He may be found; call on Him while He is near. Let the wicked forsake their ways and the unrighteous their thoughts. Let them turn to the LORD, and He will have mercy on them, and to our God, for He will freely pardon. "For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways," declares the LORD. "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts. As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is My Word that goes out from My mouth: It will not return to Me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent It."
November 1 ~ Matthew 13:11-12 TNIV "{Jesus} replied, "The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them. Those who have will be given more, and they will have an abundance. As for those who do not have, even what they have will be taken from them.""
November 15 & December 1 ~ Hebrews 10:19-25 TNIV "Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, His body, and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near to God with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for He who promised is faithful. And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another--and all the more as you see the Day approaching."
December 15 ~ John 6:67-69 TNIV "You do not want to leave, too, do you?" Jesus asked the Twelve. Simon Peter answered Him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. We have come to believe and to know that You are the Holy One of God."
May we press on, learning and doing the Word of God, and may He find us faithful!
