What is YOUR "Life Verse"

It is hard for me to pick one...but, Micah 6:8 certainly comes to mind. One of my favorite chapters in the Bible is Deuteronomy 6. I also enjoy reading the letters from Paul. I just like it all.

Joseph Botwinick

 

Micah 6:8

 

Deuteronomy 6

 

Luke 22:31,32

 

Never heard of 'life verse'. But for the past year it's been this one:

"Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. Because narrow is the gate, and hard is the way that leads to life, and few indeed are those who find it." Matthew 7:13-14

There's a lot of depth in those two verses.

 

"I can do all things in Christ Jesus for He strenghtens me."

 

(Philippians 1:6 KJV-1611) Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you, will performe it vntil the day of Iesus Christ:

Chad Fletcher

 

Mine is Job 13:15: "Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him..."

No matter what happens to me, I know that it is His will, and it is just."

Tim

 

My life passage would be from Philippians Chapter 3 as listed below with the key verses being 13 and 14. It has always made me want to do more for my Saviour.

7 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.

8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,

9 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:

10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;

11 If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.

12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.

13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,

14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

15 Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.

16 Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.

 

Psalm 103:14

 

I have bounced around lately. For a long time it was:

"And we have this treasure in earthen vessels..." II Cor 4:7...

Then, recently it changed to:

"And he brought us out from thence, that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he sware unto our fathers." Deut 6:23...

and last week, God reminded me of the things too wonderful for me - mighty works that He has done for me and my family, so:

"...Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see:" Luke 10:23

 

My life verse is Rom 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
One of the best things to ever happen to me was when I lost my job. It had been keeping me from knowing the Lord more intimately and serving him. After commiting it into his hands he opened the door to a job that payed almost twice as much and that left me the time I needed to serve him. This is just one example of how this verse has plaid out in my life. It constantly rings true over and over again.

 

Last summer I was struck with fatigue, severe bruising and bleeding, blackouts and vertigo...at the same time I was going to school and finishing up to graduate. I was in the hospital early last September where I was sent to an oncologist and there I was diagnosed with ITP. The drugs they put me on made me very sick and made me so desperate for help that I wanted to end my life. I never had felt SO alone. I often wondered if this was my end, that it may very well be in the Lord's will for me to die. He carried me through it and he's still got my hand.

After a year, God changed my life with this illness, my thorn in my side...for the good. He's made me so much more aware of what my priorities need to be, for his Glory.

I've come to grow quite alot in my 1 year anniversary of my diagnosis. I chose this verse, and can choose it now that I have accepted the battle that lie ahead:

John 11:4
This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God that the Son of God might be glorified thereby.

The verse I keep close to my heart, and I realize how powerful this verse is:

Prov.17:22
A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.

Bones make your blood. Without blood we cannot live.

I also realized that hospitals are an excellent mission field, and weekly visiting a place where people are dying, they only have one hope. And it's not the Catholic Priest to give them their last rites.

 

Psalm 139
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart;
test me and know my anxious thoughts.
24 See if there is any offensive way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting.

 

I think the verse that overall depicts the infallability, righteousness, and truth of Jesus is:

Prov 30:5 Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.
KJV

With my recent diagnosis I have continally proclaimed....

Ps 118:17 I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD.
KJV
