Versed

There are roughly over 31,100 verses in the Bible and of those I do have a few favorites or “life verses.” I never set out to make this list, they found me and took off the “rough edges” in my soul. A few of my favorites in no particular order.

1 Cor. 15:58: Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

Jer. 33:3: Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.

Ezra 7:10: For Ezra had prepared his heart to seek (Study) the Law of the Lord, and to do it, and to teach statutes and ordinances in Israel.

Jer. 23:4: “I will set up shepherds over them who will feed them; and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, nor shall they be lacking,” says the Lord.

Prov. 23:23: Buy the truth, and do not sell it, also wisdom and instruction and understanding.

Heb. 2:1: Therefore, we must give the more earnest heed (the more careful attention) to the things we have heard, lest we drift away.

Psalm 84:5: Blessed is the man whose strength is in You, whose heart is set on pilgrimage.

These are woven deeply into my soul and have consistently assisted me in the process of living, learning and obedience to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Grab your own, grow in them and see how big and mighty the God of the universe is. There is not only power in the written word, but eternal life as well.

For I, the Lord your God, will hold your right hand, saying to you,

‘Fear not, I will help you’ (Isaiah 41:13).
