I’m hoping to at least weekly add in a scripture for thought and memorization. I am horrible about remembering scripture. I can quote a lot of it, but never a reference. Kinda frustrating really. I’ve been reading on the LPM blog they have bi-monthly scripture memorization. I plan to join in on Jan 1st, but for now, I’m just going to post what I’m reading.
One thing I have found in reading my Bible is you really should check out several versions. I typically read the New King James version in church and study, but more often than not, the New Living Translation helps me at home when just reading in general.
This morning I read the following and thought, “that is perfect for the first scripture in my blog.” It’s long so I’m bolding the portion I’m committing to memory (however, I’ll attempt the whole thing!).
Galations 4:21-24 (NLT): Since you have heard about Jesus and have learned the truth that comes from him, 22 throw off your old sinful nature and your former way of life, which is corrupted by lust and deception. 23 Instead, let the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes. 24 Put on your new nature, created to be like God—truly righteous and holy.
I want to put on my new nature and take on that of Christ!! I want my thoughts and attitude to reflect my Savior!
Bless you!!
