John 15:4
Remain in me, and I will remain in you.
No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain
in the vine. Neither can you bear
fruit unless you remain in me.
And anyone who does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.:bl ooming::bl ooming::bl ooming:
— Matthew 10:38-39 (NIV)
"O LORD, you have searched me and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar.
You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O LORD"
(Psalm 139:1-4).

going to try to start this thread again, not sure who comes here or not, but for those that did feel free to post your daily bible verse as well.
this came from reading one of my devotions on grief, and wanted to share it with you..
In everything give thanks; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus" (1 Thessalonians 5:18 NASB).
This Bible verse is sometimes misconstrued. It doesn't say to give thanks for all situations, but in all situations—big difference.
When you seek God in prayer and through His Word, you learn about His attributes, and you come to know His complete love and faithfulness and rise above the situation as you see it. Here is where you are truly thankful.
His ways are so far beyond your ways, you can't even comprehend; therefore, when problems arise you can say, 'God loves me. Nothing happens to me that is not filtered through His love; therefore, by faith on the authority of God's Word and what I know about God, I can say all things that happen to me are for my good and for God's glory.' God makes no mistakes. God honors your expression of faith when you say 'thank you' through your tears with broken hearts. When you trust Him, He turns tragedy to triumph. That is where you learn."
Lord, thank you for Your faithfulness to me and Your patience with me. Thank you that You are in control. Amen.
