coram_deo 23-Sep-21, 11:29	Great Verses from the Holy Bible I already have a thread for great memory verses, but I don’t think all great verses in God’s Word are necessarily memory verses. This thread will be for verses I especially like but don’t necessarily think are great memory verses. Here’s the first, which I received today (9/23) as the “KJV Verse of the Day” from BibleStudyTools@crosswalkmail.com. “The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him. It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.” (Lamentations 3:25-26)
coram_deo 25-Sep-21, 08:09	Received these verses today as the “KJV Verse of the Day.” “And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.” (2 Corinthians 12:9-10) I also like these similar verses, which were also written by the Apostle Paul: “Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” (Philippians 4:11-13)
coram_deo 26-Sep-21, 10:47	“The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” (2 Peter 3:9)
coram_deo 30-Sep-21, 11:21	“There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. We love him, because he first loved us.” (1 John 4:18-19)
coram_deo 09-Oct-21, 04:49	“For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.” (Romans 14:17)
coram_deo 13-Oct-21, 06:16	“Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.” (1 John 4:15)
coram_deo 19-Oct-21, 08:40	“For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.” (2 Peter 1:16)
coram_deo 20-Oct-21, 19:15	Handwriting chapters in the book of Amos tonight and was drawn to this great verse: “But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.” (Amos 5:24)
coram_deo 23-Oct-21, 10:46	“Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:” (James 1:19)
coram_deo 24-Oct-21, 09:21	“Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:” (Romans 5:1)
coram_deo 27-Oct-21, 04:05	“For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)” (Romans 5:17)
coram_deo 28-Oct-21, 05:43	“And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.” (Matthew 10:28)
coram_deo 28-Oct-21, 06:39	This is the YouVersion Bible app’s Verse of the Day. It’s a great one! “Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?” (John 11:25-26)
coram_deo 31-Oct-21, 09:56	“Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.” (Psalm 23:4) Good commentary on Psalm 23:4. Psalm 23 was written by King David and is probably the most memorized and loved Psalm, though Psalm 91 is likely not far behind. From bibleref.com: David could walk through a dark ravine, perhaps even death, fearlessly, because the Lord walked with him. David explains his lack of fear because "you are with me." It is interesting to observe that the "shadow of death" drew David closer to the Lord. He addresses the Lord as "you," whereas in the peaceful places he called the Lord "he." A shepherd in Bible times carried a rod and a staff to protect his sheep. The rod was a cudgel: a short, thick, heavy stick similar to what modern people might call a baton or mace. This was worn at the shepherd's belt. The staff was a long, lightweight pole with a curved end—a crook—that the shepherd used to move, count, and examine the sheep at evening when they returned to the fold. Both the rod and staff were used as weapons to protect the sheep. David trusted the Lord to protect him, just as a shepherd protected his sheep from any attacking animals. Jesus, the Good Shepherd, is with believers at all times (John 10:11, 14). He promised to be with us always (Matthew 28:20). He is with us when we walk over rough ground as surely as He is with us "beside still waters" (Psalm 23:2). Jesus said, "I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand" (John 10:28). Context Summary Psalm 23:4–6 shifts in mood from the tranquility portrayed in verses 1–3. It is a somber passage, but carries the assurance that the Lord protects His sheep and fills their days with His blessings. This passage differs from the first three verses by addressing the Lord, David's shepherd, directly. In verses 1–3 David talks about the Lord, but in verses 4–6 he talks to the Lord. Chapter Summary David celebrates the protection and guidance of God. Sheep guarded by a skilled shepherd are led to food and water, and protected from harm. In the same way, David praises God for giving him peace. The knowledge of God's protection and provision are a great comfort. This psalm incorporates themes of supply, defense, assurance, and care from God. www.bibleref.com

coram_deo 05-Nov-21, 20:40	I always associate the following verse with the hospital ‘cause the guy who was pushing the gurney (not sure that’s the right term but too lazy to look it up - it’s basically a stretcher with wheels) I was on mentioned to a hospital worker who passed us in the hallway that he was going to a Bible study that night. I was into the Bible then and we talked about different verses we liked. He mentioned Joshua 1:9 and that was one of the verses I memorized so I recited it to him. Great verse. “Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.” (Joshua 1:9)

coram_deo 15-Nov-21, 21:46	I like these verses from the book of Habakkuk so much I had “Habakkuk 3:17-18” printed on a tee-shirt above a nice photo I took a while back. “Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls: Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation.” (Habakkuk 3:17-18) YouVersion commentary on these verses: youtu.be
