Daily Verse

[Elspeth]

As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not
return to it without watering the earth and making it bud
and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread
for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It
will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I
desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.

Isaiah 55:10-11

[Elspeth]

The Lord is my Shepherd,
I shall not be in want.
He makes me lie
down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters,
he restores my soul.


-- Psalm 23:1-3

[Elspeth]

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust
in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy
Spirit.

-- Romans 15:13

[Elspeth]

Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?
And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of
the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you
that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like
one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the
field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the
fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little
faith?

Matthew 6:28-30

[Elspeth]

Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts
them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on
the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the
winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall,
because it had its foundation on the rock.

Matthew 7:24-25

[Elspeth]

Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the
everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He
will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one
can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the
power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and
young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD
will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like
eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and
not be faint.

Isaiah 40:28-31

[Elspeth]

All kinds of animals, birds, reptiles and creatures of the
sea are being tamed and have been tamed by man, but no man
can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly
poison. With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and
with it we curse men, who have been made in God's likeness.
Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers,
this should not be.

James 3:7-10

This is what the LORD says, he who made the earth, the LORD
who formed it and established it - the LORD is his name.

unsearchable things you do not know."

Jeremiah 33:2-3

the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
-- Galatians 2:20

[Elspeth]

Be very careful, then, how you live - not as unwise but as
wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days
are evil.

Ephesians 5:15-16

[Elspeth]

My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast; I will
sing and make music. Awake, my soul! Awake, harp and lyre! I
will awaken the dawn. I will praise you, O Lord, among the
nations; I will sing of you among the peoples. For great is
your love, reaching to the heavens; your faithfulness
reaches to the skies. Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;
let your glory be over all the earth.

Psalms 57:7-11

[Elspeth]

At just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ
died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous
man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. But

sinners, Christ died for us.

-- Romans 5:6-8
