I'm working on trying to find my life verse.
The verse that speaks to my heart, that I can turn to in times of need. I've never had one but it was a Bible Study Skill a few weeks back over at #TheMendedHeart Study with Proverbs 31 Online Bible Studies.
So I figured I'd give it a try.
Only, its really hard to find just one verse that speaks to me.
It was suggested to figure out my needs and passions, and go from there.
Currently I'm needing direction from God. Direction as in where to go, but also how to get there. How to do what he wants from me. How to live the calling he is calling me to.
So I started searching direction (I also used knowledge and insight) on Biblegateway.com
Proverbs 3:5-6 came up: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths."
Psalm 119:66 also came up: "Teach me good judgement and knowledge for I believe in your commandments."
A few other verses that keep coming up in my life are:
Proverbs 16:3: "Commit your work to the Lord and your plans will be established."
Psalm 46:10: "Be still, and know that I am God."
Psalm 37:5 "Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him and he will act."
Romans 8:28 "And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose."
I'm really leaning to the two Proverbs verses.
I like Proverbs 3:5-6 as I am struggling with my understanding of His calling for me. I don't understand why HE would call me to write?! How is this a good idea?! So maybe I need to just let go and lean on Him. He will set my path right.
I like Proverbs 16:3 because if I just commit to do what he wants, he will establish my plans, right?
I think I'll try out Proverbs 16:3 for the next few weeks and see what happens. Its shorter. And the only way I can commit my work to the Lord is if I lean on his understanding (from 3:5). Both end in my path being established or straightened for me.
Thanks for working through that with me dear readers.
Do you have a life verse? Would you share it with me in the comment section?

That is something I'm working also.
ReplyDeleteMine is 1 Thess 5:16-18. "Rejoice always. Pray without ceasing. In all circumstances give thanks, for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus. "
ReplyDeleteIt just seems to fit my life, no matter what is going on and felt like it would be timeless to carry me through the years to come no matter what comes. Praying you'll find yours too.
I love how your life verse is for all season. That is awesome. I'm really liking Proverbs 16:3. It is helping through the days. It may not make it through all seasons, but this current one where I'm trying to submit to God's calling, it is helping. :) Thanks for reading!
