You know something I've done over the years as I journal is write out one verse that really stuck out to me or spoke to me in my reading for that day. What I do is then write that verse on a 3x5 card and put it in my purse. I carry it with me and when I have a moment at the store, in the car, or at home I pull it out and read it and think about what the Lord spoke to me about through the reading of HIS WORD.
I thought I would start sharing those with you and I would love to hear from you what verse really spoke to you. Sometimes it might be a cross reference to the portion I was reading so it may or may not be in the actual chapter.
I do pray that you continue to grow and be changed by the renewing of your minds in CHRIST !

Matthew 1 : 20
" But when he had considered this, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife; for that which has been conceived in her is for the Holy Spirit."
I think this verse is also a great reminder that our GOD isn't asking us to do something that He isn't willing to walk with us through. He is there to direct, guide and walk with us. He even cares to put our anxious hearts at ease. As He was clearly doing for Joseph. Man, I need that reminder through out my day.
Matthew 2:22
" But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there. And being warned by God in a dream, he departed for the regions of Galilee, "
This is an amazing reminder that Joseph experienced the same emotions we all experience. He was faithful and trustworthy though and this verse shows that he trusted God and that whatever the outcome he was sure God's will would be done.
I just think this is a great example for us all to live by.....
Starting with each post from this point on I'll put my verse at the start of each day!
blessings on you all..............
