I am very excited about this topic!  This is a simple and to-the-point article, but I believe it will be meaningful for someone.  There’s a lot of scripture contained here, so please stick with me.  There’s an important message at the end!

​Have you ever heard of a “life verse”? The term refers to a verse that holds special meaning for a person or a verse they rely on regularly to guide their life. While not directly a scriptural concept, it makes sense that believers claim specific verses in such a way, as scripture is the most direct method God uses to speak to His people. One danger of the “life verse” concept, is that it can become a cliché, almost akin to a person’s birthstone or astrological sign. But, for true believers, having a life verse, and especially being able to communicate “why” it is meaningful, is a good way to share their faith. (Read more ideas about how to use scripture in my article "Rightly Divided".)

In truth, the whole of scripture is “life” verses, in that it leads us on the path of eternal life. In John 6:68, Simon Peter said to Jesus, “to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.”

While there are many more that I love, I claim these four as “mine”:

1. ​"In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and he shall direct thy paths."  Proverbs 3:6
2. "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them that are the called according to His purpose."  Romans 8:28 (Check out my blog all about this verse.)
3. "For in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also His offspring.’" Acts 17:28  (This verse is the theme for my song, “You Are Everything”.)
4. "He must increase, but I must decrease." John 3:30  (I’ve kept this written on a sticky note on my desk at work for years!)

In the book of Deuteronomy, God gave instruction for how the eventual kings of Israel should handle the Words of God. (Israel was not supposed to have a king other than God, but God knew the people would insist on having one “like as all the nations” that were around them- Deuteronomy 17:15.)

Deuteronomy 17:18-20 says, "And it shall be, when he sitteth upon the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write him a copy of this law in a book out of that which is before the priests the Levites: And it shall be with him, and he shall read therein all the days of his life: that he may learn to fear the LORD his God, to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to do them: That his heart be not lifted up above his brethren, and that he turn not aside from the commandment, to the right hand, or to the left: to the end that he may prolong his days in his kingdom, he, and his children, in the midst of Israel.”

While we have certain verses to help carry us through this life, the Word itself is the very essence of life, and our reliance on it, and faith in it, can dictate the outcome of every situation.

Going beyond the idea of a “life verse”, I want to share with you the portion of scripture that is quite literally my “life chapter”. In my teenage years and early twenties, I suffered with severe depression and anxiety.  (I’ve been free from it for so long it is almost hard to remember- praise God!).  There were days when, overcome with a constant, unexplainable grief, thoughts of suicide invaded in my brain.  While He didn’t heal me right away, one day the Lord practically handed me Psalm 116, to sustain me until the time He would heal me.  I claim this as my life chapter, because I believe God used it to spare my life.  If you find yourself in a dark place, please let the words of Psalm 116 help put you on a different course, so you too can “walk before the LORD in the land of the living” (Psalm 116:9).

I'd love to hear your life verse (or chapter)!  Please leave a comment below, and if you enjoyed this article, please share it.  Thanks!

​It happens often.  I will be driving, folding laundry, trying to sleep, or any other normal task, when I start “randomly” singing a song I haven’t heard in a relatively long time, without any conscious thought.  I’m usually half-way through the chorus when I stop and think, “Now where did that come from?”  The truth is, I know where it comes from.  The question is really “Why?” instead of “Where?”

While the Holy Scriptures are the only sovereign texts we possess, I believe God has inspired people throughout the ages to write songs to be used for His glory, and I believe He uses these to speak to His people.  Today He put a song in my heart from one of His greatest poets, Fanny Crosby.  I was on my way to Starbucks for a mid-day treat when I recognized the words of “Pass Me Not, O Gentle Savior” on my lips (listen to the audio clip above).  It has a beautiful melody (the music was composed by William Doane in 1870) and a pleading tone.  For the first time I actually thought about the petition of this song.  I started to examine if there might be some error in singing a refrain that expresses doubt that God will be available to us when we call.

I wondered if knowing the origin of the hymn might help resolve the thought, and I found some help for my questions on the Discipleship Ministries website of the United Methodist Church.  There, I read an article titled “History of Hymns: “Pass Me Not, O Gentle Savior””, written  by professor of sacred music at Southern Methodist University, C. Michael Hawn. 
 
Mr. Hawn wrote, “The late hymnologist William J. Reynolds discovered that the inspiration for this hymn was the result of a visit to a prison by the poet during spring 1868. He notes: “After she had spoken and some of her hymns had been sung, she heard one of the prisoners cry out in a pleading voice, ‘Good Lord, do not pass me by’;””

The account described above sounds like the plea of a man who had enough faith to understand that he needed God, but was not yet acquainted with God enough to understand he could trust Him.  This reminds of the father in Mark Chapter 9 who, wanting Jesus to heal his son, proclaimed, "Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief."  That story has always given me hope.  Although the man admitted to having a measure of unbelief, Jesus healed his son based on the measure of faith he did have.  (The last line of the second verse of "Pass Me Not, O Gentle Savior" is "Help my unbelief".)

The tone of the song also reminds me of King David and how he pleaded with God in despair, yet he ended his petition with a praise acknowledging God's faithfulness.  In Psalm 13:1 he said, “How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?”  But, just five versus later he says, “I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.”  Even a man well-acquainted with the provision of God, who is described as a man after God's own heart, struggled with whether or not God would be present in his situation, but because of His knowledge of the nature of God could ultimately be at peace. 

After a bit of reflection, I am reassured that when I sing the great hymn that has been our topic, I am not alluding to any personal concern that Jesus could in some way pass me by.  The words "do not pass me by" are an expression of every sincere heart that has longed to be close to the Almighty, yet in human frailty can hardly comprehend that the God of the universe lends His availability and concern to sinners such as us.   The song has a tone of humility that serves to amplify the truth of God's holiness.
  
Why the Lord gave me this particular song today I may not know.  Maybe I will need its message in the coming days.  Maybe I should lead it as our "Invitation" song during Sunday morning worship.  Maybe I was just supposed to think on it and write this blog post to share with you.  Whatever the reason, I am thankful that He speaks to me through the classic hymns He inspired so long ago.

A couple years ago I discovered a radio program called “Stories of Great Christians”.  It's an audio drama that airs (in my area) on the Bible Broadcasting Network every day from 5:15 pm to 5:30 pm.  Each series tells the life-story of a well-known person in Christian history, over a period of weeks, usually based on a published biography.  I try to listen every day to keep up with the episodes.  I find the art form of radio drama very refreshing.  I am forced to use my imagination to envision the story, I have to wait in anticipation for the next episode, and I love the melodramatic organ interludes between scenes. (The series was produced in the 1940s!)

Not only entertaining, “Stories of Great Christians” has been a great inspiration to me!  I have learned so much from the lives of people such as the great preacher, Charles Spurgeon, missionary to India, Amy Carmichael, and founder of the Salvation Army, William Booth.  It is simply amazing how God worked through these people to accomplish His purposes!

As I think about what I have learned from these faithful men and women of God, I am reminded of Hebrews 13:7.  The English Standard Version renders it this way: “Remember your leaders, those who spoke to you the word of God. Consider the outcome of their way of life, and imitate their faith.”

Secular culture has no shortage of individuals whom people idolize and seek to imitate.  As a Christian parent, I hope to encourage my children to imitate people of integrity and faith.  Of course, our ultimate example is Jesus.  We must seek always to be like Him.  But in 1 Corinthians 11:1, Paul says, "Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ." (NKJV)  God has given us role models to help point us to Him.

I am thankful for examples of Christian faith we can imitate.  Throughout my life I have had wonderful mentors in the faith- my parents, special friends, and so many in my church family.  And, of course, we have the examples of the Apostle Paul and other leaders in church history.

As we learn from the faith of our spiritual heroes, we must grow into the position of being a similar example for others.  These are three virtues I believe are the foundation to a life worth imitating:

1. Trust God in everything.
2. Obey God always.
3. Give God praise for all good things.

That may sound like a simple list, but I think it's a good guide for the traits we should seek in a mentor and strive for in our own lives.  My hope is that I will ever be more like Jesus, walking in the footsteps of those who have followed Him without wavering; but also, that someone will see in me a faith worth imitating.

As I tried to go to sleep the other night, somewhere amid the rambling, disjointed thoughts flooding my sleepy brain, I recognized the words of one of my favorite verses of scripture.  I didn't consciously think about Romans 8:28, but it was suddenly just there in my mind: "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."

The familiar words had barely finished processing in my mind when they were followed with a simple question- "Do you know?"

I can't tell you if it was me asking the question or if it was the Holy Spirit, but I pray He will help me to seek out the answer and define it in the next few lines.

Let me start by working backwards through the verse.  I know that I am "called according to His purpose" because I'm saved.  If you are saved, you have been purposefully called by God.  I know that I am of "them that love God".  Although not always put into action the way it should be, I have no doubts about my love for Him.  That brings me to the first part of the verse, and I have to ask myself again, "Do I really know that all things work together for good?"

I feel confident in saying the answer to my question is "yes".  I do know that all things work together for good, meaning I believe it with certainty.  The real question is, "Am I living like I know it?"

The phrase "all things" in this verse could mean literally everything- from my walk to the mailbox to a serious illness.  While I believe the verse is true for "all" circumstances, Paul was writing specifically about persecution.  With that context in mind, I felt the need to examine how I view difficulties in my life.

Knowing that all things work together for good doesn't mean we never hurt or have concern about the difficult times in life.  Our state of salvation doesn't preclude us from the effects of living in a fallen world. Bad things will happen (although I believe we are guarded by His sovereign grace from many bad circumstances).  The beauty of knowing "all things work together for good" is summed up in one word: hope.  We have hope that beauty will be born of brokenness, that silver linings will surface through stress. And we can learn to even be excited when something bad happens, anticipating the good that will come from it.  Sometimes, we may not see the good, but by faith we know it is there, because God's promises are true.

Thankfully, I haven't experienced very many situations in my life that have tested my faith or challenged my belief that something good would be the result.  But I think the lesson for me in my reflections on Romans 8:28 is to be more mindful of opportunities to praise God in all situations.  It's not about learning to see the glass as half full instead of half empty. I'm sure there are plenty of atheist optimists. It's about knowing that God is intentionally acting and working things out in all situations, and about being able to praise Him whether we see the good or not.

Let me leave you with a real-life example of Romans 8:28.  A small, country church, where my husband has ministered several times, was recently vandalized.  On Easter Sunday morning, our friends there, Terry and Ellen, found a swastika spray-painted on the front door.  Now, of course, that was not a good thing. How could it be?  However, the deputy that responded to the call did a wonderful thing- he painted over the vandalism for them.  Our friends were deeply moved by the kind act of the deputy, and Ellen took to Facebook to publicly praise the officer. More than one news station saw the post, and subsequently did interviews with Ellen and the officer, which were aired on multiple stations.  Because Ellen knew God was in control of the situation, she was able to focus on the deputy's good deed, instead of focusing on the wrong done to them.  God even worked it out so the uplifting story would be shared on the news to be an encouragement to many, many people.  The fun part is, God may not be finished working the events "together for good".  Perhaps the best is yet to come from this story. 

Have you been going through a trial?  Are you facing adversity now?  Perhaps the best is yet to come from your story, too.

A few months ago I started a scripture notebook.  It's just a little book I carry around in my purse and in which I occasionally write verses when they come to mind.  There are no rules to it, except for I try not to write the same verse in the book twice.  This forces me to flip back through to check before I write a new verse, which refreshes me as I skim and remember all the scriptures I have written previously.  My notebook contains the type of verses we sometimes call "memory verses".  They stand on their own, without explanation, additional context, or historical reference. I like to call them "nuggets", like little treasures you can easily carry.

"Let your light so shine before men..."
"A merry heart doeth good...."
"For God so loved the world..."
"Greater love hath no man than this..."
"In the beginning God created..."
"What time I am afraid..."
"In all thy ways acknowledge Him..."

Can you finish all those verses?  My guess is, yes!  These are wonderful, important truths to cherish.  And I encourage you to practice memorization of verses like these.  That's one of my goals- to start committing these to memory.  While these "nuggets" of scripture are important, we most also appreciate the importance of the Word as a whole.  In the second book of Timothy, chapter 3, verse 16, Paul says, "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:"  We may not go around quoting genealogies or Mosaic law, but each line of scripture is included in the Bible for a specific purpose.

Learning how to handle and correctly apply the Word is the subject of 2 Timothy 2:15: "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth."  We have to learn to sort and apply the nuggets and the genealogies, the parables and the historical events- to appreciate and, use for our benefit, the entirety of the Word He has provided. 

When we rightly divide the Word we understand that scripture will never contradict itself.  Some ideas may appear contradictory, but a proper study, use of appropriate resources, and most importantly discernment from the Holy Spirit, can and will negate any of those doubts. 

Rightly dividing the Word means we are careful not to piece together scripture to suit our own agenda, and we can also recognize when that is being done by others.  It's an outrageous example, but if someone quoted from Matthew where it says Judas "went and hanged himself" (27:5) and merged that with our Savior's exhortation "go, and do thou likewise" (Luke 10:37, speaking of showing mercy like the Good Samaritan), that would be an egregious and profane misuse of scripture!  We are likely to encounter a much more subtle example, but if we know how to rightly divide the Word, by knowing the Word, we won't get tripped up by these tactics. 

The Bible refers to the Word of God as a "sword": "And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God."  Ephesians 6:17 (Also, see Hebrews 4:12)

A sword is a powerful weapon, to be handled with care. Our study of God's word is swordsmanship training, and the application of the Word in our lives, in a manner of speaking, is swordplay. While I may never be a master swordsman, I pray that God will help me grow in my ability to rightly divide the Word, and that He will do the same for you. 

It seems most mainstream web articles are written in list format these days.  Here are a few real headlines I found on the MSN homepage on the same day (3/14/17): “10 Secrets to Perfect Homemade Pizza”; “7 Reasons Your Pee Smells Weird”; “43 Truly Extraordinary Uses for Household Staples You Already Own”.  Y’all, I didn’t make these up.  And, there were several more like these on the page.
 
People like lists.  So, I’m going to give you the best list you will read today:  Five Reasons YOU Are Awesome!  Are you ready?

1.)   YOU were created in the image of God.

 Genesis 1:26 and 1:27 says, “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.  So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.”

You are awesome because you are modeled after the likeness of the Creator of the universe.  Not only did God make us in His image, he gave us authority over and responsibility for the earth. 
 
2.)   YOU are a work of art!

When God was finished sculpting the earth and everything in it, including humankind, we know what He thought of His creation. Genesis 1:31 says, “And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good.”  It was very good.  People are inherently good creations.  YOU are very good.

Psalm 139:14 says, “I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.”  Marvelous are His works! 

There’s a saying, attributed to the late singer Ethel Waters, “I am somebody ‘cause God don’t make no junk!”  While not grammatically correct, the statement is profoundly wise.  We can be assured of our awesomeness, because our Creator is perfect.
 
3.)   YOU were born for a purpose!

The scriptures indicate in multiple places that God gives people specific missions in life.  There’s a reason you are here, even if you never fully figure out what it is.

God told the prophet Jeremiah, “Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.”  (Jeremiah 1:5)   Likewise, the apostle Paul says in Galatians 1:15, “But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace….”  Paul had a job to do for the Lord, long before he knew about it.

Rest in the fact that He did not place you on earth “just because”.  You have a purpose.
 
4.)   Jesus Died For YOU.

If you ever doubt your value, just remember that Christ paid the highest price to save you.  You are so valuable, He gave His own life for you.

Romans 5:8 says, “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.  Perhaps the most famous verse in scripture also speaks of God’s love and Christ’s sacrifice:  “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16)
 
5.)   IF you have accepted Jesus as your savior, YOU have the Spirit of God living in you.
 
This one is of course conditional, but if you are part of the family of God, you have the gift of His Spirit.  The Holy Spirit lives in all believers, and as Galatians 5:22 and 5:23 teaches, He produces fruit such as love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, gentleness, goodness, faithfulness, and self-control in our lives.  In today’s world especially, those are super powers!  And they really are super, because they come from a supernatural source.

The Holy Spirit also teaches you (John 14:26) and helps you witness to others (Matthew 10:20).

I'm sure there are many, many more reasons that you are awesome, but these are the five I wanted to talk about in this blog post.  ​

​Now that we are feeling really good about ourselves, let’s put this into perspective.  You are awesome.  But, you are nothing without Him.  John (the Baptizer) said “He must increase, but I must decrease.” (John 3:30).  Hold your head high today, and know how valuable you are in Him, but remember to give Him glory for your awesomeness.

The book of Acts in the New Testament chronicles the actions of some of Christ's apostles, carried out through the power of the Holy Spirit, during a time immediately following Christ's ascension. This book essentially outlines the birth of the church, but in some places, it reads more like an adventure novel than historical reference.

God used the eighth chapter of this book to speak to me recently, and I’ve spent several days trying to understand exactly how to share and explain what I felt the Lord say to me through this passage.

First, let me outline some of the events that take place in Acts Chapter 8. We see Saul making “havock of the church" and believers fleeing from persecution. God used their persecution for good because the scattering of Christians meant the spread of the gospel. This by itself was a blessing to read, because I am awed by the courage of the early believers. They certainly experienced something real to make them flee one place for preaching, only to continue preaching somewhere else. They could have gone into hiding- kept quiet, kept safe. But the Holy Spirit urged them on and they obeyed.

One of those brave believers was a deacon named Philip. He traveled to Samaria and preached there (even a sorcerer was converted under his ministry!), until he received a new assignment directly from the Lord. Verse 27 says, “And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert.”

So, Philip obeyed, and when he reached the road to Gaza he saw a man from Ethiopia sitting in a chariot, and he heard the man reading aloud from the book of Isaiah. This man was a eunuch, and he was a man of great authority who served as treasurer for the Queen of Ethiopia. Philip asked the man if he understood what he was reading and then proceeded to reveal Christ to the man through the Old Testament scriptures. The man believed Philip's words and was saved.

One remarkable thing about this story is how much God loved this man from Ethiopia, that he sent the good news of Jesus directly to him. The man already knew of God, but he had not experienced the gift of redemption. And so it is with all believers, because the Holy Spirit has called to us specifically, personally.

It is also exciting to think how this one encounter helped to spread the gospel into other parts of the world, as the Ethiopian man most certainly went home and told everyone what had happened to him. God’s plan was not only to save the man that Philip met on the road to Gaza, but the generations of people after him that would choose to believe.

The Bible indicates that Philip was traveling in the man’s chariot with him when they came to a body of water. They stopped and Philip baptized the man. And this is the part that really jumped out at me. Verses 39 and 40 say, “And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing. But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached in all the cities, till he came to Caesarea.”

Azotus is the modern-day city of Ashdod, which is probably about an hour-long walk away from where Philip had been. The text describes that the Holy Spirit supernaturally transported Philip to another city! Philip teleported! That might not be the right terminology from a spiritual standpoint, but I think that’s the best word in our natural vocabulary to describe it.

​The scripture doesn’t tell us the reason Philip was caught away, but it does tell me this: God can move me where He wants me to be, when He wants me to be there, by any means He chooses- when I seek to follow HIS will.

I’ve had a few dreams in my life; one of the biggest was to become a mother.  Before I was married, I was concerned that the dream of a family wouldn’t happen “soon enough” and I would “run out of time”.  As it turns out, my husband and I were married only six months after he proposed, and seven months after the wedding we found out our first child was on the way.  In a relatively brief span of time I had gone from being single, to being married and expecting a child.  Now I have three wonderful children!  Some days I’m amazed by where I am on life’s journey.

​Lately I’ve been thinking about the future and what new dreams may come to fruition.  Reading the story of how Philip was “caught away” gave me these three ideas:

1. Be excited for what the Lord could do at any moment!  Always anticipate that He can take you somewhere new!  A new place of ministry may be closer than you realize.​
2. Work hard and be obedient.  The supernatural help with Philip’s journey came only after he had already walked a long way and had completed his mission to witness to the Ethiopian eunuch.  You must be faithful in the job to which God has called you first, before your calling will be expanded to other territories.
   
3. God is not bound by our idea of time.  If He has a job for you to do He can put you on a fast-track if He wants, so don’t be discouraged if things don’t happen as quickly as you think they should.  Trust in His timing. 

How exciting it is to serve a God that can do what many say is impossible!  He loves us and will accomplish His will through those that allow themselves to be used.  

You never know when you might find yourself saying, “How did I wind up here?”, and thanking the Lord for His help along the journey.

What does it mean to bless someone?  When you bless someone, it means you are speaking good things into existence in their lives.  Did you realize you have that kind of power?  The bible says in Proverbs 18:21 that “life and death are in the power of the tongue”.  We bless people by claiming a promise from the Bible for them, and God works through that.

In the Old Testament, God gave the priests of Israel a specific blessing He wanted them to use to bless the people:

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: “Speak to Aaron and his sons, saying, ‘This is the way you shall bless the children of Israel. Say to them: “The Lord bless you and keep you; The Lord make His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you; The Lord lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace.”’ “So they shall put My name on the children of Israel, and I will bless them.” Numbers 6:23-27

Even though this blessing was for Israel, the Bible teaches us that through Jesus, we are adopted into the family of God and all the promises that God gave to Israel are for us, too. So we can use this same blessing for others. 

Most weekdays, before we head out to face the world, I try to speak something like this for each of my three kids: “The Lord bless you and keep you and give you a good day, in Jesus’ name.”  (My nine-year-old says, “It helps!”)

Speaking blessing is a lot like praying.  But, instead of asking God for something, we are claiming something He already promised us.  A blessing has to line up with the Bible.  We know God is not a magic genie that grants wishes, so I wouldn’t say to someone, “May the Lord give you a million dollars.”  The Bible doesn’t promise us a million dollars!  But it does promise good things like “peace” when we need it.  So, I could say, “May the Lord give you peace” and that is a blessing that God will honor and work through, because He’s already promised it. 

At the close of Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians, he wrote: “The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.”  He was blessing them with that statement.

Some blessings are very simple.  We often say “God bless you”, especially at church.  Sometimes it can even become habit, and we say it without actually thinking about what it means.  But, any time we use the name of God, we should use it purposefully, with intention.  Think about what you’re saying next time, and really mean it!  “God bless you!!”  I think when we have faith that God will actually bless someone, meaning He will help them and give them what they need, those three words can be very powerful!

Practice speaking blessings to someone in your life today.
