More James from the West Coast

Hi Ladies,

Even on theWest Coast I am finding it helpful to be working on James. It is so practical. The scripture I am currently learning is:

"So too, though the tongue is a small part of the body, it boasts great things. Consider how large a forest a small fire ignites. and the tongue is a fire. " James 3:5-6a

God bless you,
Ouida

Whoa, It is the 19th

Hi Ladies,

Sorry I got distracted last week! This is such an exciting time with opportunities to help all around. That is why it is so good to keep your focus in the truth.

My word for this time is:
"So the Scripture was fulfilled that says, Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him for righteousness, and he was called God's friend."

James 2:23

Saying Yes in Him,
Ouida

Spring Into The Word

Hurray Ladies,

New life and color is peeking out all around and we can use that enthusiasm to dig deeper into His Word!
The verse I am working on now is:

Indeed, if you keep the royal law prescribed in the Scripture, "Love you neighbor as yourself", you are doing well. But if you show favoritism, you commit sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors.
James 2: 8-9

Boy, you have to say that James does not mince words!
God bless you,
Ouida

Hi Ladies,
I have been having a great time memorizing James. The book of James is so practical and clear to understand. The verse I was working on today is James 2:1------

My brothers, do not show favoritism as you hold on to the faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ.

Don't forget the instructions for commenting are in post below this one. Also you can see comments from others and me when you click on comments.

January Update

Hi Ladies,

I did not think anyone was checking out this blog, but just in case I will start updating closer to the first and 15th. I can not tell you how excited I am about scripture memory right now! In our Ladies Bible Study here we were challenged to memorize James. Whether it all gets done or not, the journey so far has been wonderful. I have had The Word so much more on my mind because that sure helps with a challenge this huge. I will pray for you and please pray for me.

Our Scriptures for 2012

Welcome Ladies!

I am so excited about you  joining me on this great adventure of making God's word an intimate part of our lives in 2012. Isn't it fun to camp on some part of His word and then hear it later and realize, "That is my scripture"! I pray that this blog will be an encouragement to many of you and remember to tell friends about your 2012 scripture challenge. We can certainly pray for each other.

I plan to start with this word:

Send out Your light and Your truth, let them guide me, let them bring me to Your holy mountain to the place where You dwell.  Psalm 43:3

Feel free to use this one or whatever word you like and post it in the comments. Ask the Lord to inspire you with what parts of His word you can learn starting the 1st and the 15th of each month. Lord willing, I will have a post ready for you to comment on. That way we can have 24 treasures by the end of the year. It should be a great year!
Love you,
Ouida
