One of the best gifts I got in 2009 was the encouragement from Beth Moore's blog to learn a verse of scripture every two weeks. On the 1st and 15th ( or close to that ) we would send in the scripture as a comment on the blog with the reference and version (abbreviated) and our first name. They figured out a reward for those who could say 20 out of the 24 scriptures (free entrance to a conference), but I will not be attending that. My best reward was having to work for days to get one verse memorized and then having some of God's word that was mine and could be used in the night or while driving etc. Many of us wrote these verses down on one of those little spiral notecard binders (I like the colored one) that you get at Wal-Mart. Since these verses were such good news to me many times this last year, I would like to start this blog for any of you that would like to do something similar. I will not be doing a seminar for a reward, but we could do one dandy party in January for those who have been encouraged to learn verses through this blog. Believe me the best reward is working on verses meaningful to you and even praying them to God. So think about participating. I hope to hear from you.

The verse I started this year on that some of you might like to use also is:

Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you will abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Romans 15: 13 (NASV)
