Take a good look friends, at who you were when you got called into this life. I don't see many of the "brightest and the best" among you, not many influential, not many from high-society families....Everything that we have - right thinking and right living, a clean slate and a fresh start - comes from God by way of Jesus Christ. That's why we have the saying, "If you're going to blow a horn, blow a trumpet for God. (Excerpts from 1 Cor. 1:29-31, The Message)

Ms. Team (Memorizing Scripture): Second Post

posted by Trudy

Hey there you memorizing machines!

Have I mentioned lately I am so thrilled to traverse this path of memorizing the "Scripts" with you. (Hear that last term with all the reverence in the world. There is nothing I fear or love more than the Lord and His Word and knowing God to be One who desires to communicate in relevant ways, I just think He is okay in this age of "texting" and "twitter" that we abbreviate as long as we don’t dishonor Him).

I am not about numbers, but I am about getting as many as possible hooked on God’s Word so if you know anyone who wants to jump in this journey with us for the next 6 months then direct them here!

I also wanted to tell you that if I am just moving way too slow for you with memorizing 2 verses a month by all means you jump back on here and post as much as you want under this heading until I post the "Ms. Team Third Post" on August 8th - then start posting under that one. That is exactly what my buddy Chris did and I so loved her enthusiasm that I wanted ya’ll all to know you are quite welcome to post as many as you want! If 2 verses a month are good for you then that is cool too.

Okay here is mine. It is one that is very familiar to me but after attending a women’s conference this week and studying it under one of my favorite Bible teachers I knew immediately it was going to have to be the next one on my memory list. I don’t have it down perfectly yet but its what I am working on this week
　
　
Trudy,  Deuteronomy 30:19-20a (NIV)

This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live and that you may love the LORD your God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him. For the LORD is your life...

    We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thoughtt to make it obedient to Christ.

    Metta would you believe that is one of mine too! And that is SUCH a useful one (well of course they all are) but I catch myself often throughout the day saying "ugh Lord that thought is no good would you take it captive and make it obedient to you and replace it with something more pleasing." And He is faithful to do what I can't do for myself. That's the Word at work in our lives and I am so thankful for it. Thanks for posting!
