The 'Post-a-Scripture'/'Read-a-Scripture' Thread

[zeroturbulence]

I thought it might be good to post scriptures in a thread so that people can come here and be spiritually fed whenever they feel so inclined.

I hope that it may also bring encouragement and healing to those who read it, so please post knowing that maybe your post might help a fellow Christian.

It doesn't have to be your favorite scripture, it can be any scripture. You don't have to post the version, but please make sure that the scripture is at least accurate (please no paraphrasing). Use Google if you need to.

God bless.


Please Note: Replies are allowed, but I just ask that there be no theological statements or criticisms made here. Thank you.


I'll start with the first scripture:

"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." - (Matthew 11:28)

 

[iTOREtheSKY]

"Now therefore," says the Lord, "Turn to Me with all your heart,With fasting,with weeping,and with mourning."
So rend your heart,and not your garments; Return to the Lord your God,For He is gracious and merciful,Slow to anger,and of great kindness;And He relents from doing harm. JOEL 2:12-13

[SUP]46 [/SUP]“Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say? [SUP]47 [/SUP]As for everyone who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice, I will show you what they are like. [SUP]48 [/SUP]They are like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built. [SUP]49 [/SUP]But the one who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete.” Luke 6:46-49

Isaiah 12:1-2

1 In that day you will sing:
“I will praise you, O Lord!
You were angry with me, but not any more.
Now you comfort me.

I will trust in him and not be afraid.
The Lord God is my strength and my song;
he has given me victory.”
