Siesta Scripture Memory Team: Verse 20!
8:15 PM UPDATE: I FOUND MY SPIRAL!! PRAISE GOD!! I am so happy. Thanks for getting into that with me, Siestas!
Y'all, I'm nearly panicked. I cannot find my Scripture memory spiral this morning! I'd already written my new Scripture in it for this round and I've seen it within the last twenty-four hours but I don't know where I set it last! I looked in all the regular places and especially at the console of my car but no sign of it. I have a feeling that it slipped into the floor board and under the front seat but it was too dark to see in there when I was out searching this morning. Of course, I can fill in a whole new one but I WANT THE ORIGINAL. It and I have been through a lot together this year! I always write my address in the front of my spiral in case it ever gets lost and I'm careful to word it in such a way that the finder can clearly see that it's an emergency. "IF FOUND PLEASE RETURN TO...!" So, if I left it somewhere, maybe someone will have mercy on me and mail it back to me. Blast. I bet I find it this morning. Lord have mercy, I'm one of those who can even manage to turn Scripture memory cards into drama. Well, there you go.
Here's my verse for this round. It's out of The Message and I love it already!
Invigorate my soul so I can praise You well,
use Your decrees to put iron in my soul. Psalm 119:175 The Msg
OK, Siestas, let's hear yours! I love you guys.
PS. Watch for the announcement of the 30 winners of 2 tickets to the LPL 2010 of their choice tomorrow (Friday) morning!

2 Corinthians 4:7, 16-18
But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us.
Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.

So if you're serious about living this new resurrection life with Christ, act like it. Pursue the things over which Christ presides. Don't shuffle along, eyes to the ground, absorbed with the things right in front of you. Look up, and be alert to what is going on around Christ - that's where the action is. See things from His perspective.

And let your promises ring from my tongue; every order you've given is right.
Put your hand out and steady me
since I've chosen to live by your counsel.
I'm homesick, God, for your salvation;
I love it when you show yourself!

And should I wander off like a lost sheep—seek me! I'll recognize the sound of your voice.

*Sorry I deleted my first comment I was writing out Exodus 34 and my Mom mentioned something about a passage in Isaiah while I was typing and I wrote Isaiah 34 instead... I wouldn't have cared but my comment was second! (my insecurity went crazy... thus the explanation... I need your book!)
And I was so proud of myself for being so organized this morning! I've been saying that verse since Memphis! Oh well! LOL! Pride comes before the fall!
