5⭐️ My first time reading the Bible from beginning to end! (12/31/2024). The set up of this Bible made it so easy to do- with daily readings split up for every day of the year. Each day includes a reading from the Old Testament, New Testament, and something from either Proverbs or Psalms. It wasn’t until the second half of the year that I started to keep track of the verses that jumped out at me, so as I restart the process tomorrow, I will hopefully be adding more of my favorite verses to this list! 🤍
Ezekiel 11:19-20 I will give them an undivided heart and put a new spirit in them; I will remove from them their heart of stone and give them a heart of flesh. Then they will follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws. They will be my people, and I will be their God.
Hebrews 12:11 No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.
Daniel 9:18 We do not make requests of you, because we are righteous, but because of your great mercy.
Zechariah 1:14 Then the angel who was speaking to me said, “Proclaim this word: This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘I am very jealous for Jerusalem and Zion, but I am very angry with the nations that feel secure. I was only a little angry, but they added to the calamity.’” (I love God’s sense of humor here!! 😂😂)
Nehemiah 13:2b Our God, however, turned the curse into a blessing. (🙌🏼🙌🏼)
Psalm 7:9 O righteous God, who searches minds and hearts, bring to an end the violence of the wicked and make the righteous secure.
Mark 11: 22–25 “Have faith in God,” Jesus answered. “I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. And when you stand, praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive your sins.”
2 Corinthians 4:17-18 “For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.”
Isaiah 40:11 “He tends his flock like a shepherd: He gathers the lambs in his arms and carries them close to his heart; he gently leads those that have young.”
Proverbs 23:15-16 “My son, if your heart is wise, then my heart will be glad; my inmost being will rejoice when your lips speak what is right.”
Genesis 50:20 “You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.”
2 Timothy 1:7 “For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love, and of self-discipline.“
2 Timothy 2:23 “Don’t have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments, because you know they produce quarrels.”
1 John 4:12 “No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.“
Genesis 4:7 “If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must master it.”
Genesis 7:2-3 “Take with you seven pairs of every kind of clean animal, a male and its mate, and one pair of every kind of unclean animal, a male and its mate, and also seven pairs of every kind of bird, male and female, to keep their various kinds alive throughout the earth.” (I am mind blown right now because I have always been taught Noah took two kinds of every animal. This is the first time I noticed that God told him to take seven pairs of every kind of clean animal and bird. I don’t know how I’ve never noticed this before?!)
Psalm 5:11-12 “But let all who take refuge in you be glad; let them ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may rejoice in you. For surely, O Lord, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as with a shield.”
Matthew 6:27 & 34 “Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? 34 Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own“
Genesis 25:7-8 “Altogether, Abraham lived a hundred and seventy-five years. Then Abraham breathed his last and died at a good old age, an old man and full of years; and he was gathered to his people.” (This verse stood out to me because what more could you ask for in life than this?)
Hosea 6:6 “For I desire mercy, not sacrifice, and acknowledgment of God rather than burnt offerings.”
Isaiah 29:13 “These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. They worship me in vain; their teachings are but rules taught by men.“
Psalm 13:5-6 “But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation. I will sing to the Lord, for he has been good to me.”
My wife and I just finished reading the Bible in a year and used a different booklet and our own Bibles. I am going to donate this one, hope somebody is blessed by it. Houston is full of sinners ; ) ...including us.
