Seeing that set appear on my newsfeed is like a time capsule. I was learning everything in ESV back then, but then when NASV was added, I started over using that version. And now I've only just recently started working on John 7.
Anyway, I pray God's blessings on you as you meditate on these verses!
For some reason it gave me Proverbs 10:12 as the next one. Not sure why, maybe because the Lord knew that I needed it LOL :) I'm slowly working on John 7 and very much looking forward to the day when I can work on John 8!
Hello Luli2016 :) Thank you for creating this set. I can tell you honestly, that already Proverbs 17:9 spoke to me quite specifically about a rather difficult situation which exists in my life at this moment. So thank you for your obedience to Him! Isaiah 55:11 (NASV) applies here:
So will My word be which goes forth from My mouth; It will not return to Me empty, Without accomplishing what I desire, And without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it.
I appreciate your comments, mrsmoo. It's my desire and my prayer that I come to this website every morning with a pure motivation, to know Him better. I'm very far from perfect. My wife certainly knows that ;) . But I also feel so happy in His love, and it means a lot to me to hear from others who are also blessed by the purity and completeness of His love.
I like your method, TheMoviegoer, and I thank you for sharing that -- I'm sure it will be helpful in part or in whole to many people on this site, including me.
Having the smaller sets in combination with the all-encompassing cumulative chapter set is a very good idea, I think -- because of how then you can "at will" test yourself on whatever weak portions may crop up in the future ... without testing yourself on the entire chapter.
Just curious, are you continuing to click "Test instead of read" and then test yourself on the entire passage?
I've definitely observed about myself, that when I test myself on an entire passage, I concentrate better, I get a better sense of the context of the verses as a whole, I get more benefit in terms of communion with God. I get a better sense of the meaning of the entire passage...
On the other hand, when I test myself only on 2 or 3 verses actually due in an entire passage, I do proceed through my review queue more quickly, but I definitely concentrate less, I make more mistakes, I get less out of the whole thing. What's your experience?
Amen Symota! I was inspired by something TheMoviegoer said, and recently I've begun reciting some passages to my wife as a captive audience :) She's a Christian too, so she likes it. I mean to say, not actually reciting from memory, but practicing toward attaining that end. It's awesome.
