Looking at ideas for some new craft projects - little items to sell to raise money for Rwanda - other than cards. Love doing our cards, but always nice to come up with something different.
One project has got me thinking about best loved Bible verses. I'm sure, if I asked, I'd come up with quite a few. And yet I know there would be quite a few repeats.
God's word is amazing. Even the one verse, no matter how often read, can speak to us in many new and different ways. It depends on life circumstances, mood, need or even the particular Bible translation. These things would seem really random if it weren't for the God behind it all. The words we grow to love speak to us because they are alive and relevant. God knows what we need to hear at any given moment and it shouldn't surprise us when that verse crosses our path at 'just the right moment'!
God's word is always relevant because, as well as living, it is always true. It is powerful and changes lives. It is often there when all else is gone. I have sat with many people in very difficult circumstances when all they had to hold to was God's word - often a favourite verse. I have seen people, at the end of life, stir as God's word is read - again, often a favourite verse.
'Hide' those favourite verses in your heart. They are precious - but there will be moments when someone else needs to hear them, and then you can share your treasure with others.
