"Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;" 1 Peter 1:13 (KJV)

Hello!
I'm sorry that I haven't been commenting very much lately. I have been keeping up with my memorization, though!
So far I have memorized:
1. Proverbs 2:6
2. Ephesians 2:8-10
3. Psalm 119:18
4. 2 Timothy 3:16-17
5. Psalm 143:8
6. Psalm 27:1
7. Ephesians 3:13-14
8. Psalm 5:11
9. Galations 2: 20
I'll try to keep up with commenting more regularly.
Proverbs 16:3
Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established.
I usually try to pick a verse by Sunday, but this verse came to my mind only last night as I was praying. It was perfect--exactly what I need to study! I find it interesting that this verse puts the action first, then the thoughts. I always thought of it the other way around--that thoughts lead actions--and I believe it is certainly that way sometimes. However, I'm beginning to see that if we wait around for the ideal time to *feel* obedient, we will never simply walk out our faith. This is my desire: to commit to obedience, no matter what makes sense and what doesn't make sense, no matter what I feel at the moment, and pray for God to honor my obedience by cleansing my mind and thoughts.
My verse for week 9 is Jude 1:24-25:
"To Him who is able to keep you from stumbling and present you before His glorious presence without fault and with great joy-- to the only God our Savior be all glory, majesty, power, and authority through Jesus Christ before all ages, now, and forevermore! Amen"
Wow. What an awesome, mighty God we serve!
Since I will be in Mexico next week on a mission trip, I'll just add that I am planning to memorize John 8:12 in Spanish for my week 10memorization
My verse is Joshua 1:8: This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
I review my other verses about every day. :)
Over the past few weeks I've been working on memorising 1 Peter up to and including verse 17. It's been amazing so far!
My ninth verse is Romans 5:18, "Therefore by the offense of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life." (by memory!)
I blogged about it here: http://withajoyfulnoise.blogspot.com/2012/03/verse-9-of-52.html

"But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord. For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth"
2 Corinthians 10:17-18
This verse has really helped me to see that in myself, I really have nothing to glory about. Anything that I have, talents, abilities, everything, has come from the Lord, and it is as He sees fit to commend me, or allow me to be praised. I'm to simply focus on how the Lord is working in my life, and not worry about anything else.
