Day 1 - Week 32 - Let's add our fourth and final verse of praise!

Some nights does your brain just feel like mush?  That's where I am tonight!  Tired and unable to truly focus in on recitation of our list of great verses....so tonight, I'm not testing myself.  I won't try to type the verses from memory. Instead, I'm just going to "copy and paste" (how's that for being honest!) and allow myself to enjoy all of the gifts, the promises and assurances that we have learned.  I will praise God for what He is doing in me through His word!  And I will rededicate myself to the rigor of memorization tomorrow!  For I do want these verses strongly grounded within my memory....but just for tonight...read through them with me, dwell on the ones that speak loudest to your heart tonight, and thank God for the great gift of His holy word!

The Gift of Scripture (6)
2 Timothy 3:16  All Scripture is inspired by God and is profitable for teaching, for rebuking, for correction, and for training in righteousness.
Joshua 1:8   This book of instruction must not depart from your mouth, you are to recite it day and night so that you may carefully observe everything written in it.  For then you will prosper and succeed in whatever you do.
Psalm 119:11  I have treasured Your words in my heart so that I may not sin against You.
Deuteronomy 6:4-6  Listen, O Israel, the Lord your God, the Lord is one.  Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength.  These words I am giving you today are to be in your heart.
Deuteronomy 6:7  Repeat them to your children, talk about them when you sit in your house and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. 
Hebrews 14:12  The Word of God is living and effective, sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating as far as to divide soul, spirit, joints and marrow.  It is a judge of the ideas and thoughts of the heart.

The Gift of Prayer (3)

Hebrews 4:16 Therefore, let us approach the throne of grace with boldness that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us at the proper time.
1 John 5:14   Now this is the confidence we have before Him, whenever we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.
1 John 5:15   And if we know that He hears whatever we ask, we know that we have what we have asked Him for.

The Gift of Assurance (10)
1 John 5:11 And this is the testimony:  God has given us eternal life and that life is in His Son.
1 John 5:12-13  The one who has the Son has life.  The one who doesn't have the Son of God, does not have life.  I say these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know you have eternal life.
John 14:1  Your heart must not be troubled, you believe in God, believe also in Me.
John 14:2  In my Father's house are many mansion, if it were not so, I would have told you.  I go to prepare a place for you.
John 14:3  And if I go away and prepare a place for you, I will come back and receive you unto Myself, so that where I am, you may be also.
John 14:6  Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through Me.
John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you.  I do not give as the world gives.  Your heart must not be troubled or afraid.
Isaiah 26:3-4  You will keep in perfect peace the mind that is dependent on You, for it is trusting in You.  Trust in the Lord forever, for in the Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength.
Isaiah 53:5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed . (KJV)
Isaiah 53:6  We all went astray like sheep; we all have turned to our own way; and the Lord has punished Him for the iniquities of us all.

Praise and Thanksgiving (4)
1 Peter 1:3  Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.  According to His great mercy He has given us a new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.
Psalm 100:4  Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise.  Give thanks to Him and praise His name. 
Psalm 100:5  For the LORD is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations.

And now our last verse to add to this quartet of praises to our King....

Revelation 4:11  You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being.

He is worthy - He alone is worthy!  Praise His name with me with a joyous smile on your face as you recite this verse!  Thank you for traveling this road with me....let's keep on going!  After Praises come Promises!

This is a long road with so many lessons to learn from the verses. I praise God and His Glory, "He is able", a little help from Priscilla Shirer. He is worthy of our praise. It is because of God that I live today, and I will live through eternity. I praise and thank God for His many gifts that are brought to us through scripture. Scripture written by man and inspired by God. Thank you Lord Jesus Christ for your abundant love for your creation of life.
