Tucked Away
I collect bible verses.
I have them saved on my work and home computers. I have them printed out and placed on my work desk; posted to my work bulletin board; stuffed in my bible and wallet; and various other places. I have references underlined in books and devotions, and scribbled on scraps of paper everywhere. My bible is full of underlined passages.
I also have them tucked in my heart.
Sweet words of love and encouragement.
If I go up to the heavens, You are there;
If I make my bed in the depths, You are there.
If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
If I settle on the far side of the sea,
Even there Your hand will guide me,
Your right hand will hold me fast
~ Psalm 139:8-10
Hard words of truth mingled with grace.
So if you are suffering according to God's will, keep on doing what is right, and trust yourself to the God who made you, for he will never fail you.
~ 1 Peter 4:19
Wise words of instruction and guidance.
A gentle answer turns away wrath, but harsh words stir up anger.
~ Proverbs 15:1
Do you have a favorite bible verse tucked away in your heart?

I love that Psalm 139 passage. One of my favorites, for sure. :)
