Faith

My walk with Christ began at the early age of 6 when I went into my pastor’s office and told him I wanted to be saved and baptized. Since then my faith has gone through many changes as I have aged and experienced life over the years.  Recently (within the past year and a half) I have started regularly reading my Bible, mediating, and keeping my prayer journal.  The changes this has made in my life are invaluable.  I have created this section of my blog to share the things I learn as I continue to my journey to become closer to Christ. 

 

I have a few “go to” scriptures that getting me back on track quickly when I feel my footsteps slipping: 

Psalm 23

 ¹The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

 ²He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

 ³He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

 ⁴Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

 ⁵Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

 ⁶Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

Psalm 29

 ¹Give unto the LORD, O ye mighty, give unto the LORD glory and strength.

 ²Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.

 ³The voice of the LORD is upon the waters: the God of glory thundereth: the LORD is upon many waters.

 ⁴The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is full of majesty.

 ⁵The voice of the LORD breaketh the cedars; yea, the LORD breaketh the cedars of Lebanon.

 ⁶He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn.

 ⁷The voice of the LORD divideth the flames of fire.

 ⁸The voice of the LORD shaketh the wilderness; the LORD shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh.

 ⁹The voice of the LORD maketh the hinds to calve, and discovereth the forests: and in his temple doth every one speak of his glory.

 ¹⁰The LORD sitteth upon the flood; yea, the LORD sitteth King for ever.

 ¹¹The LORD will give strength unto his people; the LORD will bless his people with peace.

Psalm 27

 ¹The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
 ⁷Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
 ⁸When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek.
 ⁹Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.
 ¹⁰When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.
 ¹¹Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies.
 ¹²Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.
 ¹³I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.
 ¹⁴Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.

Proverbs 3:3-5

 ³Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:
 ⁴So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
 ⁵Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
