I was initially drawn to it by the words "since He always lives to make intercession for us" (NAS), "seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them" (KJB).
I find those words to be very comforting. Not at all to ignore the importance of the rest of the passage.

I'm at 212 now. You're right, it has to do with the time difference, what time of day we log on, etc. In any case I'll check with you in a little over 2 weeks. Doing this motivates me to keep my own streak going, and adding one new verse each day motivates me to explore new areas (new to me) of God's Word. Until then, blessings to you.
I do understand what you are saying, FinalAsgard, but if you decide you want the 90 day badge, let me know and I'll create a reminder to remind you as well. I can handle two reminders and it will also help me to keep going.
Yes, I entirely understand. It's happened to me several times just past nine months. I dealt with my ever-growing review list by using a spreadsheet -- so I don't look at the review list anymore, the links are contained in my Google Sheet. And I reset many of my verses. However, I know that those solutions are not amenable to everyone :)
To JDJD : it will be helpful to me personally, if I at various points along the way ask you, are you now at 275? (or whatever number) I can always look at my own streak and subtract 11. That's something where we might be mutually encouraging.
To FinalAsgard, the longest streak I've ever had here was nine months. I've tried quite a few times to extend it beyond nine months, but to no avail. If you want to start a streak too, I could also try to encourage you that way, and also you me :) Just a suggestion.
