Keep God's Word Visible

These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts.  Impress them on your children.  Talk about them when you sita t home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up...Write them on the doorframes of our houses and on your gates."  Deuteronomy 6:6-8,9

I have to admit, having gone through Catholic school, bible study wasn't a big part of our school life or our home life.  Did I learn the Hail Mary, the Our Father, the ten commandments and most of the Baltimore catechism?   Sure, and I have been blessed to have much of that sustain me throughout my life.  But as my daughters have attended a Christian school, I have seen the blessing that learning and thinking about verses from the Bible has been for them and in turn, it has become a bigger part of my life.  I would love to be able to call upon the bible "chapter and verse" as so many can do but not in the vigilante way that the media presents to us but in a way that guides and strengthens me.  Anyone can take a verse from the Bible and use it to illustrate their point but I believe that God should use it to illustrate His point. 

So when a verse really speaks to me, I try to pay attention more than I have in the past.  My memory isn't as good as it used to be and it sure does take a lot more to get things from short term to long term memory but every now and then , something clicks.  Recently, I wrote three verses down that will probably make it to my vision board.  I'll share them with you today. 



Proverbs 15:22 (New International Version, ©2010) ²² Plans fail for lack of counsel,
   but with many advisers they succeed.


Luke 11:9-10 (New International Version, ©2010)   ⁹ “So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. ¹⁰ For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.


Romans 15:13 (New International Version, ©2010) ¹³ May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Have a Best Life Day!
