Memorizing~

A few weeks ago, I was asking God

to help me memorize the Word better.

To hide His word in my heart.

I stink at this~

I have the hardest time remembering

where anything is found...I often know

"about" where it is found but I really

wanted to be more intentional in my

Bible memory. As I was busying myself,

doing 10 things at once and all the while

really doing nothing, I just felt the Lord

tell me to SIT DOWN, open the Word

and just read! I went right to one of my

favorite verses and I just happen to

be wearing my favorite necklace that day

that my friend Laurie had given me...

"Be still, and know that I am God;

I will be exalted among the nations,

I will be exalted in the earth."

Psalm 46:10

Anyone that knows me, knows that I have a very difficult time BEING STILL! Just BEING! I love getting into God's Word, but even in my "quiet time" with Him, I am going, I am online reading different versions of a passage, I am researching the verse, listening to a sermon from one of my favorite pastors, or looking for good worship music. Nothing is wrong with those things but sometimes I need to just BE STILL! To sit down and listen to what He wants to say to me, To sit down a exalt Him!  BE STILL and KNOW THAT HE IS GOD!

Don't worry, work and beat at the air, BE STILL, Tracy!

HE IS EXALTED!

Which leads me into the next verse HE gave me!

 I am the LORD your God,

who brought you up out of Egypt.

Open wide your mouth and I will fill it.

Psalm 81:10

Read that last line again, OPEN WIDE YOUR MOUTH AND I WILL FILL IT!

Oh, how I want God to fill me!

here

I love this picture..what a great word picture,

just throw your head back,

open your arms and watch

 God do what HE does best!

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy;

I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

John 10:10

Life can sometimes blind us and

 the enemy/thief comes to steal, kill and destroy

any joy that we might have left....

but the ending to this verse is the

is like thunder to me...

HE GIVES US LIFE..LIFE TO THE FULLEST!

This is love: not that we loved God,

but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. 

1 John 4:10

This verse sums up what Christ is all about!

We didn't love Him first..He paid the ultimate price

to cleanse us from our ugly selves!

THANK-YOU JESUS!

So cool that all these verses are verse 10!!
