Some favorites

Methinks that I will share some of scripture verses that I have underlined in my Bible through the years. They all have special meanings to me and have been used in times of joy, of praise, of sadness, of stress and of teaching. A few may have an added 'editorial comment'. Hopefully, these will shed a little light on my Walk with God.

"And who knows whether you have come to this place for such a time as this?"

We should always be aware that "for such a time as this" God may be able to use us wherever we are.

"Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to Your name give glory.." (Psalm 115:1) - We should always give the Glory to God for the work He does through and in us. "

"Therefore I urge you, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship." (Romans 12:1)

"In all these things we are overwhelmingly conquerors through Him who loved us." (Romans 8:37) - This verse stays on my desk to remind me of the promise that God can conquer anything, even difficult and stoopid bosses (grin)!

WOW! Just going through my Bible, finding these verses (and many more) and remembering their impact on my life has given me a worship time right here in my living room. May God bless these words to your heart!

And for today my friends, this has been the gospel according to Jimmy. Be God's!
