thanks. God is good. My prayer is that I'll remember and live out these verses all the rest of my days on this earth until He comes. If I reach 1000 and yet don't or won't live them, it's meaningless.

What you have accomplished on this site is a testament to your love and dedication to God's Word. Every time you knock out achievements like this you show us that we, too, can do it if we don't give up. Thanks for your continued encouragement on this site through both your comments and your milestones, and I look forward to celebrating more to come!
thank you to all. God is so good. Many have been the times I've regretted having a casual or disdainful attitude towards Him or to His principles, as borne out by some action I've taken or not taken. But He faithfully and steadily conforms us to the image of His beloved Son, Jesus Christ. I pray that I and all of us will humbly submit to that process every day.
I understand what you mean, wordlearner. I just want to emphasize, God is good, and He loves us, and He knows very well what is best for us. He always has our best in mind. We don't always know what is best for us.
Congratulations, joosep. Another milestone reached. Our Lord is so kind and faithful. I love that He works in us both to will and to do His good pleasure (Philippians 2:13).
16 “I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things for the churches. I am the root and the descendant of David, the bright morning star.” 17 The Spirit and the bride say, “Come.” And let the one who hears say, “Come.” And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who wishes take the water of life without cost. --Revelation 22:16-17
COMPARE:
Ho! Every one who thirsts, come to the waters; And you who have no money come, buy and eat. Come, buy wine and milk Without money and without cost. --Isaiah 55:1
COMPARE:
13 Jesus answered and said to her, Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again; 14 but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall never thirst; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life. --John 4:13-14
Yes, coming to the end of the NT. I've got a daily plan worked out on a spreadsheet -- on other days I work on other parts of the Bible, the OT prophets, Law and History, Wisdom Literature. (I don't work on those other parts of the Bible using my identity here as "joosep").
It will take years and years to complete this project .... well no matter ... I want to stay firmly in His Word until the moment He comes.
Maybe I should explain what joosep means. First of all, I live in Estonia, and "Joosep" is Estonian for Joseph. I like both Bible characters named Joseph very much :) And so that's why I chose that username when I started on this site.

For this reason the Father loves Me, because I lay down My life so that I may take it again. 18 No one has taken it away from Me, but I lay it down on My own initiative. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This commandment I received from My Father. --John 10:17-18
Praise the Lord! It is so good to be in His Word every day, isn't it MrsSpooner? This 30 million shows you're spending a lot of time in His Word! May you and others in your life be blessed by His Word and may we all know Him in our hearts and serve Him with sincerity.
Hello janet23! We rejoice with you that you've reached this wonderful goal. We rejoice that Jesus came to this world, that He died for us so that we might live, that He is Lord and that He is good and loves us, and we rejoice that you meditate on and memorize these truths in His Word every day.
14 And He found in the temple those who were selling oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers seated at their tables. 15 And He made a scourge of cords, and drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and the oxen; and He poured out the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables; 16 and to those who were selling the doves He said, “Take these things away; stop making My Father’s house a place of business.” John 2
13 Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, and spend a year there and engage in business and make a profit.” 14 Yet you do not know what your life will be like tomorrow. You are just a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes away. 15 Instead, you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we will live and also do this or that.” --James 4:13-15
