Thought it would be fun for those of us that enjoy a good Scripture and there are plenty of them .

Proverbs 8:17-18

I love those who love me;
And those who diligently seek me will find me.

Isaiah 40:8

The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the work of God endures forever

James 4:7

Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.



p.s. I checked and it is okay for this to be on the "Off Topic" threads.

Is this really appropriate for a diet site?

In the off topic section? Sure.

I'm assuming that I'm not the only one who uses No S to live out their faith.

Can't really pick any right now but definitely feel no s goes very well with spiritual practices.

Romans 8

1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus.

2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death.

can one of you ladies refresh my memory as to which psalm talks abou how "He knew us before we were born.....and knitted in the womb".......
Wanted to look that up again but couldn't find it.

Are you thinking of Psalm 139? It's my favorite Psalm!

13 You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body
and knit me together in my mother’s womb.
14 Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex!
Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it.
15 You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion,
as I was woven together in the dark of the womb.
16 You saw me before I was born.
Every day of my life was recorded in your book.
Every moment was laid out
before a single day had passed.

Thank you Bella....slightly different wording in my Bible but exactly what I was looking for.....I thought it was 119 for some reason.
I find this comforting to me and what I need. Nice to think about while pregnant too I imagine. Hope your pregnancy is going well. I love being pregnant.

Yes Psalm 139 is awesome....to think that God knew us before we were born is great..and what a great for both of you that are expecting..

Thanks for sharing..I know that we probably have quite a few of them...

Ooops I'm not expecting just congratulating Bella. Was looking for this psalm because I always liked it and found comfort in it.

Oppss...

At least you have memories

Stopped by to be inspired and added a new scripture!

I'm not Catholic, but St. John the Baptist De La Salle is the patron saint for teachers. And teaching in the teacher hating state of Idaho I like his motto: Pray for Us.

i love the books of Psalms and Proverbs.

My current favorite is 1 John 4:18. "There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out all fear."

For sheer beauty I've always loved Matthew 6:28-29

Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:

And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

In terms of spiritual importance, I find it hard to top Matthew 19:26:

When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?

But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.

And yeah, I prefer the King James. It's just too darn beautiful.

In my women's Bible study this year, we are dissecting Philippians. Soooo many lovely snipets. Here are a few that pop out for me:


Phil 1:2 - "For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain."
Phil 1:27 - "Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ."
Phil 2:14 - "Do everything without grumbling or arguing"
Phil 4:6-7 - "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
Phil 4:8 - "whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable - if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things.
Phil 4:13 - "I can do all things through him who gives me strength."

Whew I guess that was more than a few verses.
