I guess my favorite is always the one I'm working on at the moment lol :) John 6:39, 6:40, 6:44, how Jesus Himself will raise us up on the last day. John 5:25 and 5:28, how those who are in the tombs will hear His voice, and will come forth ... I love how He keeps *repeating* these truths. As I've gotten older (of course) it's become more "real" to me that all of us will die at one point ... and so I find verses such as these to be very comforting.
Before I started here at learnscripture, I think I would have said John 8 was my favorite. The Woman Caught in Adultery. The long discourse which follows, which Jesus had with the Jewish leaders ... that's an incredible chapter. But they all are :)
congratulations! I'm a bit speechless, don't know how to congratulate you for such an accomplishment. But clearly this represents a long period of consistent, diligent work. May God bless you and others with whom you come in contact.
What a blessing is this Psalm. David Jeremiah has a great sermon on YouTube Triumphant over Trouble which he gave last May. Wisdom and historical context in 35 minutes. Thanks for reminding me to listen to it again.
Thank you, janet23. I wish -- rather, pray-- a Happy New Year for you all, filled with the blessing of knowing that you belong to Christ, and the strength to walk with Him faithfully as obedient children, each day of the year.
Goodnews, that is an admirable goal! May God bless you as you patiently walk to accomplish it! Thank you also janet23 and JDJDJD :) I've always read the Bible a lot, but I confess that I haven't in my life read the Psalms and prayed the Psalms as much as I should have. That's why I felt I should come here and ask that question.
Thank you rvfc2. I'm grateful for all the support expressed here, very grateful. I decided to go with Psalm 46. I plan to read it outloud for ten days and then add it to my learning queue here at this site. But all the other Psalms mentioned, I've noted those as well.
thank you :) if anyone else has a different recommendation, I'd be glad to hear it. I'm feeling now that I really need to go to a deeper level of calling on God and trusting in God ... some difficult times now (as we are all experiencing to one level or another)
I am going to be ready to start learning some new verses in a few days. It seemed right to me to pose the question in this group, what is a good Psalm for calling on God when you are in distress? And relying only on Him, and not on your own strength? I decided I'll learn the Psalm that is recommended. If there's more than one I'll choose one of the ones offered. Thanks in advance.
Yes, rvfc2, this is a conflict which I've experienced in using this site. I want to add more verses all the time because I love God's Word. But more recently I've been holding myself back and contenting myself with listening to mp3s for the rest of the Bible. That's a blessing too. I listen as I wash dishes or walk or just as I'm sitting instead of watching TV ...
So, there's kind of an art to using this site properly. One has to be careful not to add too many verses too quickly, unless you are a person who can invest several hours a day to keep those verses properly maintained. Of course, as time passes the learning intervals get bigger and bigger :)
