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): Fourth Post

Posted by Trudy

Hey Ms. Team!

If you have been with us from the beginning on Facebook (January 2011) you might be on your 16th verse today. If you joined us mid-way you might be on your 4th. Either way you are miles richer than when you started!

My verse this week was inspired through a message Brad gave at BCC several Sundays ago. I knew as soon as it came out of his mouth that it needed to land on my list of memory verses. Like a tired runner on a long incline I was ready to reach the crest and get a little victory in this area.

Here it is:

Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is kept safe. Proverbs 29:25 (NIV)

I am memorizing it in this version too:

The fear of human opinion disables; trusting in God protects you from that. Proverbs 29:25 (The Message).

This one needs to invade my heart & mind over and over and over until I finally just give up and invite it to take up residence.

How about you? What are you working on? (And if you want to share why, feel free to add that too)

You are so loved here!

    Just a reminder. Scripturetyper.com is a great site to help with memorizing verses. My favorite part of it is the built in review system that reminds me which verses need reviewing the most which keeps me on track with really internalizing them. If you haven't visited the site yet, give it a try.

    I hope you all keep memorizing and sharing. When I feel lost, coming to your "posting" always makes me feel uplifted and that I've had some "girl time".
    Blessings,

    Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in our suffering, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope.
    Romans 5:1-4
