--20 of 52--

Congratulations to all who have persevered for so long!!! Only thirty-two weeks left! I am praying that we are all able to continue on this wonderful journey of hiding God's Word in our hearts and be blessed by the riches we are hiding in our hearts.

Revelation 3:12
Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God,and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, ad the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.

For someone who loves names, this verse piques my interest. I will not only be an immovable pillar in God's house--never to leave His presence--but I will also have a new and special name, the name of my God Himself. I wonder what kind of name that could be? I have so much to look forward to!

Last week, I memorized 1 Corinthians 10:31: Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. A very good verse when we are wondering if something or honoring to God or not...:)
