MichelleBenthamNo time to tarry here this morning. I am pausing here to post my memory verse for the next 14 days. I heard this verse and it grabbed a hold of me during the first week of January. I told Scott I needed to memorzize that Scripture so here we are. God is so ever-lovin’ good. I heard it used again as the Scripture God gave Jimmy Evans when he began the Marriage Today ministry.
.
“So [as the result of the Messiah’s intervention] they shall [reverently] fear the name of the Lord from the west, and His glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him and put him to flight [for He will come like a rushing stream which the breath of the Lord drives].” ~ Isaiah 59:19 (AMP)
So what Scripture is grabbing your heart these days? I’m so ready to maximize this verse in my mind and move into a new level of understanding about what God has to say to us about our lives. You bless me so… I love you guys. Beth should have her post up today over at LPM, if you want to join we are memorizing two Scriptures [of our choosing] a month (New on the first fifteenth). So start listening and pick your verse — then hop on her blog, add your verse to the twice-a-month post and hide His Word in your heart. He is so going to bless you for committing yourself to Him in this way.
I am so getting an amplified version – I’ve heard it so much lately and I can just picture this verse. Isaiah is an awesome book too! Your verse makes me think of a song by Carl Cartee that has the words “raise up a standard of Jesus love”…good stuff!
I’m memorizing John 1:1-2 this week.
Love you too Michelle!
I am reading through the amplified version this year….it adds a whole new dimension to my Bible reading.
