first verse that stuck with you besides the usual ones

(1/4) > >>

AK4:
[hi everyone I'm a new member, but i have been reading Rays teachings from our Lord since late February and have read almost everything at least twice including all the emails. 
 But anyway i am studying his paper right now on foundational truths and it just sparked me when Ray mentioned the first verse he memorized and i got to thinking about the one that stuck out to me.
(although now that my eyes have been opened more, alot more scriptures stick out too).
Well my scripture that stuck out to me is Isa 46:10--- Declaring the END from the BEGINNING.... 
When i first read that verse it was like WOW, now that is all powerful--declaring the end from the beginning.  At that time i didn't know His will, but now that i know that His will is the salvation of all and the way He is going to carry out his will, this verse (and so many others, of course) just further solidifies Gods sovereignty.
Anyway Hi everyone i just thought this may be a interesting subject and I'm curious what is everyone elses first verse, besides the usual i.e John 3:16 etc....

EKnight:
You read everything twice?  Yikes.  When I first started, I was up till all hours of the morning reading and I am not sure I read it all.  Perhaps that is why I am always asking too many questions.  I guess I ought to take a break from the forum and just read it all again.

Anyway, I have found that there are so many scriptures that seem so rock solid and I can't even find a way to twist it to mean something else if I wanted to.  I like when Ray says things like do they even read this stuff?  I've never even read the bible so most of these scriptures are new to me but when it's clear, it's clear.

Welcome to the forum.  I just love coming here which is why its so difficult for me to just stick with reading Ray's papers.

Hi AK4,

Welcome to the forum!

I do not recall the first scripture I memorized, however, a scripture I meditate on often is Romans 8:18:

"For I consider the sufferings of the present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us."

This scripture encourages me to endure whatever trials and tribulations that come my way, and to focus on spiritual matters whenever I am in pain.

Romans 8:28  And we know that he works all things together for the good of those who love God, who are called according to his purpose.  29  For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.

I heard a lot of sermons on vs. 28 growing up, but NEVER one on vs 29. 

First time I read the New Testament, I started underlining verses that jumped out at me as being 'new' or especially meaningful.  By the time I got to Romans, I was underlining everything!

But it was this one that got me to thinking most, and led in the most roundabout way possible to here.

Now, even old standards like John 3:16 sing with new meaning.

Hi AK4,

Luke 22:50
Then one of them struck the high priest's servant, cutting off his right ear.But Jesus said, "No more of this!" So he touched the wounded man's ear and healed him.

I think that the thing that struck me the most, is Jesus healing the ear of one of those who came to arrest him.

Welcome....looking forward to getting to know you better!
Brenda
