Some of you have said, "I haven't memorized one verse." That's ok! You can start now! Any time we take time to allow God's Word to sink deeply into our hearts is a a great time! Today is a new day.
Find a verse, it can be one that someone else has chosen.
Write it on a 3x5.
Read it out loud slowly.
Read it out loud again slowly, asking the Lord to reveal who He is and His Truth.
Take one phrase and say it out loud over and over and intentionally remembering that the Lord is speaking directly to you through His Word!
It helps me to keep my verse with me throughout the week. I carry it around the house and in the car and sometimes on my desk at work.
We can do this! By the LORD's power and grace. He wants us to know Him! Isn't that fantastic!
I am thankful for you today. May we sense His real Presence in our lives as we look to Him all day long.

1. Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things." (Philippians 4:8)
2. I always quote this scripture like this "Whatever is true, whatever is lovely, whatever is good . . . blah blah blah, you know that scripture?" I lose it after the first "whatever" and I'd like to know what it really says!
3. I will live it by saying it to myself. I was convicted of grumbling over my new job and how it's been going, and then I received my first paycheck. I was immediately humbled and thankful at how our LORD provides. I had to apologize for my ungrateful heart and my eyes that were looking at all that has gone wrong, rather than thinking about "whatever is true, lovely, etc." So I will ask the LORD to change my perspective and help me to thing on these things!

1. "So don't worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today's trouble is enough for today." (Matthew 6:34 NLT)
2. I am memorizing this verse because I have a tendency to either focus on the past or worry about the future. I want to start living this verse.
3. I will live it by living in the present moment, and by truly focusing on the person I'm with or the project I'm doing. I will also say the verse everyday to remind me that I need to live for today.
Proverbs 16:3 "Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established."
I picked this verse today because I want all that I do to be unto the Lord.
I will live by it by proclaiming it. I start my school year off with a new student and more to come. Then, housework and yardwork. All the duties I have, I want to do honorably unto the Lord.
1. "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight." Proverbs 3:5-6
2. I chose this verse because lately I have been having a hard time trusting in the Lord and his plans for my life.
3. I will actively remind myself to trust in the Lord and not try to reason on my own why things are the way they are.

1. Psalm 84:5 Blessed are those whose strength is in you, who have set their hearts on pilgrimage.
2. I am continuing on memorizing Psalm 84. I love this whole chapter.
3. I will actively recall the truth that He is my strength and with this confidence of knowing Him this way, my response will supernaturally be bliss in Him. I will fix my eyes on Jesus, the Author and Perfector of my faith and know that I am on a long journey with a purpose! Lord, renew my mind!
I love reading each comment and am grateful we are together in this thing called real life!
1. Proverbs 16:3:Commit to the Lord whatever you do,and he will establish your plans.
2. I read this verse the other day on facebook and it seemed to jump out to me. I have 2 teenage grandsons who have begun sharing my house and my life with me and I feel overwhelmed most of the time.
3. I hope to live this by my actions towards them and by trusting God to guide their way,which is my every prayer for them.
