In four days our team will
be on an airplane headed to the central American paradise called
Nicaragua. There are mountains and
beaches, cities and countryside, and we will be spending our time at some
villages off the normal path. I am excited
about being stretched and serving in ways and places outside of our comfort
zone.
Thinking about the things we
often share there so are so many verses from the Bible that people quote all
the time. You probably have your
favorites. I have mine.
Sometimes we forget where
those verses are found. I had some great
meetings yesterday, and in preparing for one of those leader meetings I read
through a bunch of quotes. It made me
think of many of the sayings that stick out in my mind.
There are many great people
who said things that stick out. There
are many verses that I share often. The
best things that last and are most powerful are the ones rooted in the Bible
Here are some great Bible
quotes that I have heard quoted in other places as well.
1. And he
gives grace generously. As the
Scriptures say, “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”
2. Those who love money will never have enough. How meaningless to think that wealth brings
true happiness!
3. We know
that in everything God works for the good of those who love him. These are the people God chose, because that
was his plan.
4. but I -- I say to you, Love your enemies, bless those
cursing you, do good to those hating you, and pray for those accusing you
falsely, and persecuting you,
5. So do not worry about tomorrow. Let tomorrow worry about itself. Living faithfully is a large enough task for
today.
6. But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not
faint.
7. Don’t let evil get the upper hand, but conquer evil by doing good.
8. And “don’t sin by letting anger control you.” Don’t let the sun go down while you are still
angry,
9. This is my command—be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or
discouraged. For the Lord your God is
with you wherever you go.
10. And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.
Do any of those stick out to you? I bet they do, and you might find yourself
quoting them or at least thinking them pretty often.
