Congratulations, and may our Lord bless His Word in your life!

I wish to congratulate you. Well done! I'm sure you'll agree, we are so very very grateful for the Word of God. It is truly an anchor to our souls, for our minds, during these times.

Hello!
My one verse a day streak is now at 412. How is it going for you? You must be over 400 by now.

ah, yes, I see.
Have a nice day.

well done!
I imagine your one verse a day streak has also now reached 400 :)

keep going :)

well done!

Amen!!

I just added one new verse a moment ago, so I'm at 392.
I think I probably did say at one point that John 8 is my favorite chapter of John. Now it's a little hard to say, there are many chapters which are my "favorites".
Here are some phrases / sentences which (I pray, for the rest of my life) will stick in my mind from that chapter.
Neither do I condemn you. Go and sin no more.
I am the light of the world.
You shall know the truth, and the truth will set you free.
If anyone keeps my word he will never see death.
Before Abraham was born, I am.

Good morning! how are things going with your one new verse added every day streak?

praise the Lord.

*did

thank you, I appreciate your encouragement also

amen, I feel the same

thank you, and I appreciate that I can check in with you like this. It helps to keep me motivated to reach the goal.

I'm on 363. I just added one for 8 September a few moments ago.
I'm pretty sure, actually, that adding more than one verse in a day does not alter your days-added streak. So I don't think you need to concern yourself with it :) They are perhaps just extra verses the Lord wanted you to think about for some reason.
I'm doing fine, I would say that I use this site as a kind of daily devotion, and better than that, the Word of God is something beautiful, as the people here already know.
I'll check in with you again in another few weeks. May the Lord be with you!

Good morning, JDJD. How is it going with adding one new verse per day? Just checking in :)

three months. Well done!

Thank you for that feedback, I do appreciate it.

I'm not up to this verse yet, but verse 6 is really noteworthy to me. Part of it reads "having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost". They were in a time of persecution but yet they received the Word with joy. Those sound like real, genuine conversions to me. Persecution was a very serious matter in those days -- yes, we seem to be in a time of increasing persecution, but we in the Western World haven't yet reached the level it was at in Roman times. And yet they received the Word with joy -- the very thing that was causing the persecution was what they received with joy.

Someone recently told me that she likes to read the Bible, but does not find it to be very practical. (I think she finds psychology to be more practical). Well, if the Word enables someone to have joy in the midst of persecution -- I find that to be very, very practical. Perhaps we (believers as a whole) are the ones who are not understanding the Word properly, or not applying it properly, or perhaps we are not serious enough about the Word.

I don't mean to be critical of anyone -- I can see in my own life where I have not properly allowed the Word of God to do its work. God's love and grace are the greatest things.

Thank you for asking. I'm on day 349, working on 1 Thessalonians 1.

may the Lord bless you! just wanted to say "hello" again after a long period of time.

well done!

good job! keep going!

jcosimi, great job! that's 9 months. We give God the glory! I want to encourage you to keep going. May His Word be what we rely on every day. May we first go to Him when we have any difficulty.
