What’s Your Go-To Verse?

Do you have a go-to verse?  One that blesses you and encourages you over and over.  One that brings strength in time of trouble.  One that you repeatedly seek out and go to.

Trust in the LORD, and do good;
Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness.
Delight yourself also in the LORD,
And He shall give you the desires of your heart. 
Commit your way to the LORD,
Trust also in Him,
And He shall bring it to pass.

Psalms 37:3-5

This passage ‘found me’ several years ago.  It reminded me to not look to the circumstances that are being faced, but to commit to the Lord and trust in Him.  Whatever is to be done, He can do it.  This passage through the years has popped up in devotions, sermons and through Bible readings.  During numerous struggles through the years, this verse would be found and bring hope. 

Now, I look for it!  When I need to remember where to put my trust, where to turn or don’t know the outcome, I go to this Word and am helped.

Praise God for His Word, it is living and can be applied to our lives.  It provides hope, comfort, strength and direction.  If you need a place to hide in times of trouble, to gain strength in times of weakness, find comfort in times of grief, find hope in a crisis or need to simply praise the Lord for His goodness, find a ‘go to’ verse and hide it in your heart.  Find it, memorize it and go to it to keep it alive in your heart.

  1. Love that verse, too! My favorite is Proverbs 3:5. You know the one, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding...".

    Ah, so good to dwell in the Word in the morning...

  5. Love that verse. My "go to" is Psalm 23:6 -"Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever."

Sometimes We Score, Sometimes We Block

Our family is in the midst of little league soccer season. My youngest son is playing and his enthusiasm is contagious. He is pretty good at the sport, but what makes it so great is that he loves it! He counts the days until the next game or practice. He loves his coach and teammates. He has moved up an age level this year and the players are working more like team, passing to each other and watching out for each other during play. During the last game, my son scored two goals, they were the only goals of the game. In today's game the team scored eight goals. My son came up afterwards to me and said, "I didn't score today, but I blocked". What a powerful truth those words can hold. In life, sometimes we score, sometimes we block. Sometimes we do great things, we excel, we achieve, we meet our goal - we score! There are also times we see the needs of others, sometimes they are sad or hurting, we block their hits. We look out for them so they can score. We

Relationships and Redemption

In every friendship or relationship, there is a common hope that they will grow and flourish. There is something inside of us that longs for a 'happy every after' story. We dream about it and work to make that happen. But in reality, relationships are a challenge. The bridging of values, lifestyles, interests and sacrificing for another are simply hard things to do! No matter how much we dream of the perfect fit, some relationships will not endure the stress.  When differences appear and tensions arise, prayer can change situations, attitudes and ourselves. For the Christian, we know God can transform, change, heal. We cannot change others, but prayer opens us the door for God to step in and answer. God desires transformation, but does not demand it. The gift of free will allows us to choose to say Yes or No to Him.  Romans 12:18 says, “If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.” Take notice of the first two words: “If possible …” This implies that some

A Blank Page - A Great Way to Fill It

A blank page - that is the first view of a new blog post. It has been a while since I have faced the blank page of my little blog! A blank page can bring a variety of emotions - emptiness, anxiety, pressure to perform or emotions such as inspiration, encouragement or simply bursting to share something. But there is always something fresh and exciting about the blank page of a New Year. Happy 2023! This is always a time in my life where inspiration and plans are formed and ready to be implemented for greater change. Aspirations may start strong, but alone do not make a difference. It takes consistency to create change. The changing or adding small habits is a key to great changes. A habit that has been beneficial in my life for many years is rising early. It began when the children were small and was the only pocket of time I had to myself. Through the years, mornings have become my favorite time of the day. Now that my husband and I are empty nesters, we go to bed early and rise early.
