LPM Siesta Scripture Memory Verse #6

This time I'm memorizing a verse I prayed with a group of precious ladies yesterday. I've been praying with these women for a few weeks now and we've been asking God specifically to come and move at PINK IMPACT the women's conference that our church is hosting March 26-28th.

This verse just seemed to be highlighted and leaping off the page yesterday as we prayed.

"And He has made My mouth like a sharp sword; In the shadow of His hand He has hidden Me, And made Me a polished shaft; In His quiver He has hidden Me."
Isaiah 49:2 (NKJV)

As I was just even reading this Scripture something new become known to me. "In His quiver He has hidden Me." He sharpens and hones me, makes my words like a sharp sword, and a polished prized weapon. I'm one of God's secret weapons. Think of that.

I love it. There is also exciting news this week for the Scripture Memorization Siestas... Check it out at the LPM Blog.

Blessings,

Michelle

No Time To Tarry... Siesta Scripture Memorization #4

No time to tarry here this morning. I am pausing here to post my memory verse for the next 14 days. I heard this verse and it grabbed a hold of me during the first week of January. I told Scott I needed to memorzize that Scripture so here we are. God is so ever-lovin' good. I heard it used again as the Scripture God gave Jimmy Evans when he began the Marriage Today ministry.

.

"So [as the result of the Messiah’s intervention] they shall [reverently] fear the name of the Lord from the west, and His glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him and put him to flight [for He will come like a rushing stream which the breath of the Lord drives]." ~ Isaiah 59:19 (AMP)

So what Scripture is grabbing your heart these days? I'm so ready to maximize this verse in my mind and move into a new level of understanding about what God has to say to us about our lives. You bless me so... I love you guys. Beth should have her post up today over at LPM, if you want to join we are memorizing two Scriptures [of our choosing] a month (New on the first fifteenth). So start listening and pick your verse --- then hop on her blog, add your verse to the twice-a-month post and hide His Word in your heart. He is so going to bless you for committing yourself to Him in this way.

LPM Memory Verse #2

Just keepin' it real folks... This is me just out of bed at 5:45 AM! ;o)

Beth Moore has invited us to join her in memorizing/meditating on two Scriptures per month. Today is the second installment of this glorious exercise. More than 3,000 women have joined Beth in this endeavor at her LPM Blog. If you would like to sign up hop on over and check it out!

My Word to close out last year was PEACE. My Word to begin this year is TRUTH. I have been listening for Scriptures that speak truth to me...

On the first of January, I selected Psalm 15:1-2 "Lord, who may abide in Your tabernacle? Who may dwell in Your holy hill? Those who walk uprightly, And work righteousness, And speaks the truth in his heart." (NKJV)

Oh Glory, I typed that from memory! As I faced uncertain realities and difficult truths about myself... As the temptation to carry on as if nothing had happened, or to take revenge came upon me in the last 15 days... God's Word was working its way in my heart in mind. I would hear these words bouncing off the walls there... "IF you want to abide with God you must walk in your identity in Christ, do the work of righteousness as it has been administered to you, and you must speak the truth in your heart. Michelle, if you want to stay close to God as you need to do you must admit what your reality is and seek His truth to cover anything that hurts." Tell the truth in your heart.

This day I have chosen a very important Scripture as God has begun showing me a vision for the restoration of the relationship I have with my husband and what the future holds for us. Jeremiah 33:6 (AMP) "Behold, [in the future restored Jerusalem] I will lay upon it health and healing, and I will cure them and will reveal to them the abundance of peace, (prosperity, security, stability) and truth."

Thank you, Jesus, that Your mercies are new every morning and Your Word is true. I glory in you greatness and your love this day. You alone are God, You alone are worthy to be praised.

How About You? What Scripture has God placed in your heart today?
