Of these ten Scripture
verses, some are favorites I turn to often and others are verses that took on
new meaning for me throughout 2011. They are all special to me, so they are
listed in no particular order, except as they are in Bible. (All verses are from
the New Living Translation.)
1) Deuteronomy 31:8
Do
not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord
will personally go ahead of you. He will be with you; he will neither fail you
nor abandon you.
2) Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust
in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek
his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.
3) Isaiah 40:31
But
those who trust in the Lord will
find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and
not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.
4) Isaiah 43:2
When
you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of
difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you
will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you.
5) Jeremiah 17:7-8
But
blessed are those who trust in the Lord and have made the Lord their hope and
confidence. They are like trees planted along a riverbank, with roots that
reach deep into the water. Such trees are not bothered by the heat or worried
by long months of drought. Their leaves stay green, and they never stop
producing fruit.
6) Jeremiah 29:11
“For
I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and
not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.”
7) Matthew 11:28
Then
Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and
I will give you rest.”
8) Matthew 14:31
Jesus
immediately reached out and grabbed him. “You have so little faith,” Jesus
said. “Why did you doubt me?”
9) Romans 8:28
And
we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who
love God and are called according to his purpose for them.
10) Hebrews 11:1
Faith
is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance
about things we cannot see.
Do you have a special
Scripture verse that speaks to you? As you read God’s Word, allow yourself to
be open to God’s leading. (<=Tweet this!) He speaks to us through Scripture, and leads us to
what we need to hear at the perfect time when we need to hear it.
May God bless you as we enter into 2012!

ReplyDeleteAmazing top list...Visiting from WFW!
ReplyDeleteThank you all for visiting! Have a blessed 2012!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great list of Scriptures for 2011. I would have to add Isaiah 41:10 as I have it laminated right in front of my computer screen:
ReplyDelete"So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."
Blessings and love,
Debbie
Hi Debbie, Thanks for visiting! I agree, Isaiah 41:10 is an excellent addition! In fact, I have it underlined in my Bible.
