Favorite Bible Readings.

Karinann and Barb have tagged me to say which are my three favorite Bible Readings.

How difficult !!! There are so many ... OK, here goes:

Do not be afraid, for I have redeemed you. I have called you by your name; you are mine. ISAIAH 43:1-5

Well, this speaks for itself. Whenever I go through difficult times in my life, (quite often it seems), I remember to take courage and as far as I can, shake away any fears. The next passage also gives me encouragement when I'm feeling low and things go wrong.

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. PSALM 23.

If you read the whole Psalm slowly, taking in every word, I hope you too will feel God's calming love and care in your life at times of troubles.

I believe Lord; help my unbelief. MARK 9:24

If I'm honest, my Faith often falters and stumbles when things get difficult. And this passage reminds me that I'm not alone in feeling this way.

And I will be with you always, to the end of time. MATTHEW 28:20

This promise from Our Lord certainly keeps me going and reminds me that Jesus is here with us right now; only a prayer away.

Hey wait ... that's not three ... that's four. Poor mathematical education I guess.

  1. These are all wonderful verses Victor. I agree with you about Psalm 23- it is such a powerful statement of God's love and care for us. Limiting to 3 (or 4) was not easy. This was a great way to see how God, through Scripture, speaks to us.
    Glad you joined in. God bless.

  4. Psalm 23 and Matthew 28:20 are among my most favs too and so is Matthew 6:26... Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?
    Thanks for sharing : )

  6. These are great picks! Why not 4 :) The more scripture the better! I particularly like the verse from Isaiah and the one from Matthew that you have chosen - they are full hope and very consoling! God bless you, Victor!

  7. I couldn't possibly decide on three favourites but we had a good discussion about this at prayers this morning. My children think, "How awesome is the Lord!" is a good choice. I am hopeless at references and wouldn't know where that is in the Bible.

    God bless you, Victor.

  13. Hi Victor,

    I claimed Psalm 23 before I was ten years old. I have many favorites, but this one keeps me grounded, as well as The Lords Prayer, of course.

    Thank you for giving me new ones.

    God bless you,
    Joey
