Hey Dennis, thank you for adding those scripture.  It never ceases to amaze me how many times we can read scripture and still be blown away by the power and a "feeling" like you are reading it for the first time!  How unsearchable are His ways indeed!

Psalms 145:3
Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised, and his greatness is unsearchable.


Peace and love,
Diana

Hello and thanks to all,

AND PLEASE NOTE:  For those of you who have already made a copy... I have added a couple more verses, so please copy over again.  That's how it goes with these running theme compilations... adding, adding, adding, adding...  ha!  ;D

My two favorites are:  1Pet 2: 21 where Peter informs us we are CALLED imitate Christ and suffer...

For this were you called, seeing that Christ also suffered for your sakes, leaving you a copy, that you should be following up in the footprints of Him [CLNT]

AND that Paul tells us specifically we are LOCATED/DESTINED/APPOINTED for afflictions of the faith...

IThes 3: 3   No one is to be swayed by these afflictions, for you yourselves are aware that we are located for this. [CLNT]

Hi Janice,

I'd never heard the word "located" for appointed in I Thes 3:3 so I did the Strong's search:

keimai
ki'-mahee
Middle voice of a primary verb; to lie outstretched (literally or figuratively): - be (appointed, laid up, made, set), lay, lie. Compare G5087.

I thought "to lie outstretched" was very descriptive of our appointment with afflictions....

I must be honest in saying this new perspective of trials is quite new and now I have more peace knowing that the trials I have are for something positive and not as punishment from God for some hidden sin  ;)

I copied all these verses into my E-Sword, which I'm really loving!!!

Much Love & Appreciation,
Dawn
