I love this chapter. Lamentations 3:22-26 KJV - It is of the LORD’s mercies that we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is Thy faithfulness. The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in Him. The LORD is good unto them that wait for Him, to the soul that seeketh Him. It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.
“As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him” (Colossians 2:6).
“For though I am absent in the flesh, yet I am with you in spirit, rejoicing to see your good order and the steadfastness of your faith in Christ” (Colossians 2:5).

Some favorite review verses this morning: Romans 8:26-28 KJV - Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And He that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because He maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose.
Memory verses from my review today: Isaiah 41:10, 13-14 KJV - Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee. Fear not, thou worm Jacob, and ye men of Israel; I will help thee, saith the LORD, and thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.

I just finished listening to this video about the compelling case for Ellen White as a true prophet of God on YouTube. This perfectly sums up my feelings about her: https://youtu.be/-xVAyk5JjrE?si=v7C71agkm0qy7tNL
🌺 Happy Sabbath my friends! 🙏❤

That is so sad that this kind of thing would be happening in a Scripture app. This would be the place that Satan would attack though. Thankfully He who is in us is greater than he who is in the world. I will continue praying. 🙏🏻
Amen, Julina. Satan is fighting very hard here in the groups on Bible Memory. Liars are copying my profile. Please cover these groups with prayer that the grace of God and His presence will drive away the deceit that is occurring.
“He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love” (Colossians 1:13).
Oh no. I will keep you in my prayers, Marilyn. Yes, we need to put on the whole armor of God. And have the sword of the spirit always on hand to fight with. 🗡️ 🙏🏻 📖
“Giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light” (Colossians 1:12).
I just threw up 5 times, but am fine now, and drinking hot chocolate. I feel that I am being harassed by an evil spirit. You can see why I feel that way by looking at the evidence on the groups called 28 Fundamental Briefs and on Missionaries. Please keep me in your prayers and let others know as well. That link to SetfreeinChrist.org may have the enemy and his cronies scrambling.
@Everyone: Read Matthew 16:13-17 out loud. If you have difficulty reading it, you may be experiencing harassment or oppression by a demonic spirit. Go to SetFreeinChrist.org to receive guidance on how to empower your mind against spiritual warfare.
Ephesians 6:10-13 KJV - "Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand."
Happy Sabbath on this cold January day!! 😊❄️
“Strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy”(Colossians 1:11).
Review verses to ponder. 2 Timothy 4:2-4 KJV - "Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables."
“That you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God” (Colossians 1:10).
Two of my review verses this morning. The Lord is good; He answered my prayer. Exodus 4:11-12 KJV - "And the LORD said unto him, Who hath made man’s mouth? or who maketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? Have not I the LORD? Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt say."
“For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding” (Colossians 1:9).

“Because of the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, of which you heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel” (Colossians 1:5)
Marilyn, yes, do whatever works best for you. And to everyone else, this is just a suggestion to help in your memorizing. Choose any chapter you like, and you can begin memorizing. Some days I also have way too many verses to cover that have come up in my review as well. When that happens, I try to get them all that day. But once in awhile, it takes an extra day to catch up. Or I will do half one day and the rest the next so that they are more evenly split up and it doesn’t happen again. But everyone find a way that works best for you so that you continue to memorize and you do not become worn out and discouraged. I am thankful that we have this site to make memorizing God’s Word simple and enjoyable. 😊
Julina, I am going to try your suggestion made on January 1st at 2:42 p.m. But I am not going to do Colossians. I am going to start with Psalms 27. And I will do it in a different Bible Memory site (different email) that I started a while back in order to memorize more chunks of the Bible and re-familiarize many verses that I have already learned a long time back. I have too many memorized verses in my regular site (over 5400), and do not want to clog it down anymore. It already runs very sluggishly at times.
“Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of your love for all the saints”(Colossians 1:4). I hope all of you have a happy Sabbath day!! 😊
“We give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you (Colossians 1:3). Happy Sabbath to everyone as we give thanks to our God!! 🙏🏻❤️😊
“To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ who are in Colosse: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ” (Colossians 1:2).
So my verses, including all the previous verses on the same chapter, with whatever review comes up are usually between 50-100 a day. I add previous chapters I need if I haven’t reached at least a 100 verses. Sometimes it’s about 200 verses in a day. Whenever I’m bored, which sometimes happens to all of us while waiting around, I just open the app and review verses. So I have reached 500 verses a few times. It can take anywhere from an hour or two a day , or more if I get on. So I have neglected posting as much but hopefully this will help me post at least something everyday because I am on here every single day. And I hope this will help others wanting to memorize. Even if you just memorize a verse a day with me, that will be 365 verses this year. If you can only memorize a verse a week that is over 50 new verses in a year. So I hope at many of you as possible will join me in Colossians. ❤️🙏🏻😊
The way I memorize is to review the chapter I am memorizing everyday so it builds on itself. I do that usually until it works itself up to the annual review. So I will learn Colossians 1:1 today and review it tomorrow when I learn verse 2. Then I review both when I learn verse 3. And so on, until the whole chapter is memorized. By the time I get to the end of the chapter, the first few verses are already maxed to their annual review. I then either review them with the rest of the verses, or if I am short on time or have way too many other verses up for review, I will just start with the verses that aren’t maxed out at the annual review. When starting the new chapter I usually review the one before it like that if it isn’t maxed out yet. Not always do I keep up with the previous chapter as well I should. I never change the review on the verses to manually max them out though. I let the them progress to annually as I review them. It keeps me on track. I think if anything sometimes I should change the review to more frequently but I haven’t. So I actively memorize three chapters at a time a new verse a day in each and three in the gospels.
“His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord’” (Matthew 25:21). How I hope that we can all hear our own Lord say this to us in the end. We may have a trying time here on earth but if we continue to be faithful, God will reward us with heaven and the joy of our Lord. I also reviewed Genesis 1 today in my verses that coincided with my Bible reading. I am reading the Bible chronologically this year. Last year I read parts of the Old and New Testament everyday. But I love starting the new year with Genesis. As for starting Colossians, I thought it would be beneficial to post the verse here each day so everyone knows what verse we are on. Hopefully, it will help me keep up with the posting here as I have lagged behind on that. “Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother” (Colossians 1:1).
Yes, Marilyn. How great is our Lord! We serve such a wonderful God that He listens to us whenever we need Him. ❤️🙏🏻
I have learned a lot of scriptures and see this same theme time and time again: Psalm 55:1-3 - "Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not Thyself from my supplication. Attend unto me, and hear me: I mourn in my complaint, and make a noise; Because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked: for they cast iniquity upon me, and in wrath they hate me." It encourages me that I can bring anything before the Lord at any time.
Happy New Year!! May God bless you and yours in this brand new year. And let us be thankful and praise Him for everything He has done for us. May God give us all wisdom and understanding as we meditate on His Word and store it up in our hearts. ❤️🙏🏻🎉
I hope you all have a happy New Year! To start the new year I will be memorizing the book of Colossians. I hope you will come memorize it with me. We will be starting with the first verse on the first of January. If anyone is still memorizing the gospels with me, we are in the middle of chapter 25 of Matthew at three verses a day. Tomorrow starts verses 19-21. When Matthew is completed, we will begin the book of Luke to complete all the gospels. Then go right into the book of Acts. I am also on 1st Corinthians 10:8 tomorrow if anyone is going through Corinthians with me. The Lord bless you all and keep you starting this brand new year. ❤️
🌺 Happy Sabbath friends! May you be blessed on this sacred day of worship, our gift from God. 💝🙏❤
🎆 Merry Christmas everyone! May the love, of our Father in heaven and His son Jesus Christ, dwell in your hearts and minds both now and forevermore, amen. 🙏❤
I hope everyone had a happy Sabbath!!! And that you all remember our Lord Jesus Christ came as a baby to redeem us from our sins. He is the reason for our hope and that we are even here to celebrate His miraculous birth. So I hope everyone is having a wonderful and blessed holiday season! ❤️
Hope you have a blessed and happy Sabbath!! 😊 ❄️
@Everyone: I hope your Preparation Day is productive as you prepare for the true Sabbath day of rest. Do not let anything distract you from getting ready to be in the presence of the Lord for the sacred hours of the Seventh day Sabbath. The devil has already tried over the last several days to cause me grief and stress, and steal my blessing. However, a special blessing is in store for me tonight. I get to participate in a sing-along Handels Messiah! How I miss those days when I sang the long score every Christmas for years with our local Symphony Choir and Orchestra.
I spent weekend with the Pathfinders. It was for Juniors this time, previously it was for teens. And again, there was absolutely no cell service. I believe they have a signal blocker because as as soon as we drove out of the camp, I had service. It is nice to have no distractions once in awhile. I hope you all had a blessed Sabbath and nice weekend. God bless.
Some of my review verses this morning: Romans 10:12-14 KJV - "For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon Him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?"
❤ Brethren, let us make good use of the few hours we have before us to prepare for the blessed Sabbath day of the Lord, the day of rest that God made for man. Genesis 2:2-3 KJV - "And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had made; and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it He had rested from all His work which God created and made." Happy Sabbath! 🙏🙂🌺
Yes, that sounds like so much fun for them. I agree about Christmas. It is a wonderful time to spread the good news of salvation through the story of our Savior’s birth. And we should keep it within our means, not forgetting that our first obligation is to Christ. As long as we don’t try to be a stumbling block to others who may be sensitive to the date which has pagan origins, we do no harm to our conscience. For we know that every day comes from God and pagan days of superstitions have no sway over us who believe in Christ. We therefore take every opportunity to take advantage of using anytime to spread the message of the gospel. The one who chooses not to celebrate it does no wrong and the one who commemorates the season with thanksgiving to the glory of God does well. We have the knowledge that Christ’s birth was in the autumn from Daniel’s prophecy that the Messiah would be cut off in the middle of the week. Christ was crucified during Passover, after 3 1/2 years of ministry that he commenced after he turned 30 years of age. Nevertheless, since this is the season the world is most open to hearing about Christ we should optimize every occasion we have to make known to others our faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. God bless. 😊
We have been known to buy new gifts some years, but do not have the money this year to do that. Besides, we want to be more responsible with the money God has given us, and better stewards. So I am thinking how to prepare for Christmas. I have already done some second-hand shopping. Yesterday, I decided to make up a Beanbag Toss game for my young grandkids. I cut out some sturdy fabric (I hope) that I found yesterday. I also bought a cute red bucket (99 cents and in great shape). It has cut out hearts in the sides, and will be really fun to throw the bags in. This game is a classic! Have you heard of it?
Ours was wonderful! Now that Thanksgiving is over, I can get ready for Christmas. We do not do a whole lot though. I do not like to get lost in all the holiday hullabaloo. Even though Christmas is not necessarily a Christian event, it is an opportunity to spread the love of God and tell the story of the birth of Jesus. It is also a good time to remind others that we love them and are thinking of them.
I hope everyone had a happy thanksgiving. We are so blessed by God. And now I am thankful for Sabbath rest. Happy Sabbath!! 😊
🌺 Happy Sabbath, everyone! 🙏❤
I am thankful also for our good health, a loving church family, the blessings we take for granted such as plenty to eat, my sweet cat Pepper (14 now!), and God the Father Who loves us so much that He gave us Jesus to die for our sins so that we will not have to. And I love and appreciate all of the beautiful creation that God gave us to enjoy. Be blessed everyone! God loves you.
