Favorite Bible Verses

This week, on Show us your life, over at Kelly's Korner, we are posting favorite Bible verses. You know, I have many favorite verses. Each time I open my Bible or use www.biblegateway.com I find an encouraging word that refreshes my spirit and seems to align perfectly with what I'm going through or learning about at the time. I try to post a meaningful verse at the end of my post each day. One that I need to memorize, meditate on, or just one that makes me happy and fills my heart with joy.

These verses are probably the ones that I always come back to. The ones that I memorized at a certain point in my life and still recite them often in my mind. It is funny how I can remember specifically what season of my life I was in when I was studying each one.

The verse that I am clinging to these days.
Psalm 130:5
I wait for the Lord, my soul does wait, and in His Word do I hope.

And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

When you come looking for me, you'll find me. Yes, when you get serious about finding me and want it more than anything else, I'll make sure you won't be disappointed. I'll turn things around for you.

Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance.
