It always changes depending on my situation in life.  Right now I keep going back to Joshua 1:9.\n\n"Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest."

hmmmm, this will be good!!\n\nFor: GINEVRA1WEASLEY, how is he pulling things of contexts when it's from your very own Bible? 32 (Bible) Scholars couldn't get it right and I doubt that you'll be able to get it right..

There is no specific historical context or date for this psalm. There are five sections for the Psalms, with section I being Ps 1-41, II being Ps 42-72, III being Ps 73-89, IV being Ps 90-106, and V being Ps 107-150. \n\nSo, this passage falls under section IV, and that section is composed of mostly anonymous Psalms, with some attributed to David.\n\nThe synopsis I have for chap 92 is as follows - \n\n"A Psalm of descriptive praise (see Ps 113), celebrates the person and work of God in an exuberant way. The psalm also includes several wisdom themes. The title is unusual in that it attaches the designation "for the Sabbath day". The poem has four brief sections: 1. an encouragement for the people to respond to God in praise and worship (V. 1-4) 2. a celebration of the wisdom of God in bringing judgement on the wicked (v 5-9), 3. an acknowledgement of the mercy of God who has established the believer's present life (v. 10, 11) and\n\n(the section to which you refer)\n\n 4. and anticipation of the mercy of God that will continue in the life to come (v 12-15)"\n\nThe verses you list are commented on thus...\n\n92:11-15...\n\n"Tha language of this section speaks of God's contuinuing blessing on the believer not only in this life but also in the life to come (ps 23) The tree image recalls the words of 1:3."

my favorite Bible story is found in the NT - where Peter steps out of the boat and walks on water, in the midst of a stormy sea...\n\nI like this story in particular, simply because metaphorically it teaches us that we need to keep our eyes on JESUS, and not look at the 'waves' (circumstances, problems, etc) in our life. \n\nIf we fail to keep our eyes on JESUS than we go under - just like Peter did once he start looking at the waves.\n\n\nYes, I believe it's true.\n\nThank you by the way, for asking this question. I think it's a wonderful question and you are to be commended for asking it.\n\nGod Bless.

A friend emailed this to me the other day. I thought it was very touching and a beautiful tribute. Don't know if this helps but maybe someone will like it with Mothers Day coming up soon.\n\n MOTHER\n>\n> This is a truly BEAUTIFUL piece please\n> read this at a slow pace, digesting every word and in\n> leisure...do not hurry....this is a treasure...\n>\n> For those lucky to still be blessed with your Mom,\n> this is beautiful. For those of us who aren't, this is\n> even more beautiful. For those who are moms, you'll love this.\n>\n> The young mother set her foot on the path of life. "Is\n> this the long way?" she asked.   And the guide said:  "Yes, and the way is\nhard.\n> And you will be old before you reach the end of it. But\n> the end  will be better than the beginning."\n>\n> But the young mother was happy, and she would not\n> believe that  anything could be better than these years. So she\n> played with her children, and gathered flowers for\n> them along the way, and bathed them in the clear streams; and\n> the sun shone on them, and the young Mother cried,\n> "Nothing will ever be lovelier than this."\n>\n> Then the night came, and the storm, and the path was\n> dark, and the children shook with fear and cold, and the mother\n> drew them close and covered them with her mantle, and the children said,\n> "Mother, we are not afraid, for you are near, and no harm can come."\n>\n> And the morning came, and there was a hill ahead, and\n> the children climbed and grew weary, and the mother was weary.\n> But at all times she said to the children," A little  patience and we are\nthere."\n> So the children climbed, and when they reached the top\n> they said, "Mother, we would not have done it without you."\n>\n> And the mother, when she lay down at night looked up\n> at the stars and said, "This is a better day than the last, for my\n> children have learned fortitude in the face of hardness. Yesterday I gave\nthem courage.\n> Today, I've given them strength."\n>\n> And the next day came strange clouds which darkened\n> the earth, clouds of war and hate and evil, and the children groped\n> and stumbled, and the mother said: "Look up. Lift your eyes to the light.\n> " And the children looked and saw above the clouds\n> an everlasting glory, and it guided them beyond the\n> darkness. And that night the Mother said,\n> "This is the best day of all, for\n> I have shown my children God."\n>\n> And the days went on, and the weeks and the months and\n> the years, and\n> the mother grew old and she was little and bent.\n> But her children were tall and strong, and walked with\n> courage.  And when the way was rough, they lifted her,\n> for she was as light as a feather; and at last they came to a hill,\n> and beyond they could see a shining road and golden gates flung wide. And\n> mother said, "I have reached the end of my journey. And now I know the end\n> is better than the beginning, for my children can\n> walk alone, and their children after them."\n>\n> And the children said, "You will always walk with us,\n> Mother, even when you have gone\n> through the gates."\n> And they stood  and  watched her as she went on alone, and the gates\n> closed after her.  And they said: "We cannot see her\n> but she is with us still. A Mother like ours is more than a memory.  She\n> is a living presence......."\n>\n> Your Mother is always with you.... She's the whisper\n> of the leaves as you walk down the street; she's the smell of bleach\n> in your freshly laundered socks; she's the cool hand\n> on your brow when\n> you're not well. Your Mother lives\n> inside your laughter. And she's

A few of the above suggestions are excellent!\nHowever, my favorite passage by far to comfort believers who have lost a loved one is this:\n\n1 Thessalonians 4:13-18\n13 But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. \n14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus.\n15 For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. \n16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. \n17 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. \n18 Therefore comfort one another with these words.\n\n= \nI like it all the more, as even the last verse in this scripture exhorts us to use those very words for the purpose you are asking!\n\nBut I also love the John 11:25, Romans 8, and Revelation 21 verses given by other people who have answered.\n\nMay God be with you as you comfort others with your words, even with His words.

Wow, very beautiful and powerful.  I particularly love the first 3 lines as well as the lines about sending peace and love, but little hate or envy.  \n\nKeep on writing!  :)

shortest chapter Psalm 117\nlongest chapter Psalm 119\nmiddle chapter/verse is debated, but a common answer is Psalm 118:8-9 about taking refuge in the Lord.\n\nPerhaps a coincidence, yet kind of cool.  BUT I wouldn't say that it elevates these texts any more that the other verses of the precious inspired Word of God.  They are all important!

I love the book of John.  This passage particularly.  \n\nYou gave me pause with your question however.  I pray daily, but I do not confess daily.  Maybe I should.

Mine is Psalm 62:2\n"From the ends of the earth, I out cry to you, Lord.\nWhen my heart is overwhelmed,\nLead me to the rock that is higher than I."\nGood verse. It's gotten me thru a lot.

I prefer the King James Version because I believe it to be the most correct. \n\nOne of my favorite scriptures is:\n\nJames 1:5 "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him."
