Livin' the life...

For the last two weeks I've been trying to compile a list of favourite Bible verses, based on submissions from my readers. The purpose of this was to give you the opportunity to share your favourite verse with others. What I would like each of us to do this week therefore, is to chose another person's verse and meditate on it. If possible, I suggest picking one that you are not too familiar with, I think this will prove more fruitful. Below, I list all the verses I received (and the initials of the respective contributors).

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. - Hebrews 11:1
K.H.

Remember, the Lord is coming soon. Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. - Philippians 4:5-6

... You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?” Jesus said to them, “Very truly, I tell you, before Abraham was, I am.” - John 8:57-58 (NRSV)

For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. - Philippians 2:13
N.G.

The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever. - Psalms 23
K.R.

For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. - Jeremiah 29:11-12
K.B.

Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. - Proverbs 3:5-6 (NKJV)
J.N.

Remember, chose one that is unfamiliar, and research it if you must. Have a blessed week. :-)

Lastly, many thanks to the contributors and readers alike.
