Hey Hilltop I’m back on the blog! This year’s blog is going to be a little different than last years. This year will require you to bring back the lost art of MEMORIZING! I am going to entitle the blog for this year “50 to Remember”. I will give you one verse a week starting each Monday for you to commit to memory. Yep only one! Throughout the week I will give you a short comment on the verse and I will from time to time list a benefit of memorizing scripture. For instance did you know that the Word of God is powerful enough to keep you from sinning? >
Psalm 119:9 (NLT) — 9 How can a young person stay pure? By obeying your word. Psalm 119:11 (NLT) — 11 I have hidden your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you.
Pretty cool right? Let me start this blog off with a quote by Robert J. Morgan author of “100 Bible Verses Everyone Should Know by Heart”. This is one sweet book and I will use bible verses from this book.
Verse of the Week:Genesis 1:1 (NLT) — 1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
It all started with God. Here is a wonderful way to start things. Start your day with God, your job with God, school with God, marriage with God, free time with God, friendships with God etc. I think you get the idea. I thought my mother was a pretty talented cook. She could make an eight course meal out of a hot dog! But mom didn’t have anything over on God. That word ‘created’ means to make something out of nothing. Mom needed the hot dog but God didn’t need anything! Start your day with God and let him create for you a day to His liking.
