What is Your Favourite Bible Quote?

Hard to pin it down to one, isn't it? Well...impossible actually! One of my favourites is, "It is finished"...done...does not have to be repeated...He has died once and for always...no more sacrifices required. Then there's "Be still and know that I am God..." ....

2 Cor 12: 7-10: And to keep me from being too elated by the abundance of revelations, a thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger of Satan, to harass me, to keep me from being too elated. Three times I besought the Lord about this, that it should leave me; but he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." I will all the more gladly boast of my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities; for when I am weak, then I am strong. (RSV)

I cling to this! Diabetes is my literal thorn in the flesh. I don't know why God allows it, but he does. For Christ's sake and his glory alone do I deal with it.

Psalm 102 kinda sounds like someone suffering with diabetes. Also Psalm 73 sounds like a Christian struggling with a chronic disease while their evil neighbors are healthy. Sound like diabetes where it talks about new punishments every morning; reminds me of testing my blood glucose in the morning. There are other passages in psalms that talk about how God helps people who are afflicted.

Great subject Linda! Of course the Bible is a deep well of strength and Love and Faith...and I believe that the Bible is a Lovesong or Loveletter from God Himself to us..but if I had to pick just one...

Micah 7:8 = "Rejoice not against me, oh mine enemy. For when I fall, I shall arise. Even when I sit in darkness, the Lord shall be a light unto me."!!!

Trust me...as much as I hate to say it...somewhere the enemy (and we ALL know who that is...Dr. Evil himself) is laughing at us for the things that we, as Christians, endure. And he revels in the fact that God hasn't swooped down and cured us all...trying to tell us that He doesn't love us as much as He says He does. But...us as Christ followers know different. And THAT gives us HOPE!
When we truly become Christian...and truly give our lives to Christ...He gives us the strength..and the CHOICE...to get up and live our lives as He wants us to. So...even though we've been knocked down (and many have fallen), we, as Christians, MUST RISE thru His strength and use our testimony to help others up...whether by hand or word or support or this site.
Diabetes can be a very dark place...and many of us, Christian and non-Christian alike, can easily fall into depression or discouragement. And many question themselves and their faith with questions like "Why me?" or "What kind of life is this?". But...the HOPE is...that He is ALWAYS with us...no matter what... He is ALWAYS the light and our source of life...and what we have to understand is that He doesn't have to TAKE our life...He just has to stop giving it. And if you're reading this right now...He hasn't done that! Hope and Peace and Love to you all! In Jesus' Holy and Precious Name!

I love to meditate on Ephesians 6:10-18.

1 Chronicles 29:11
Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, indeed everything that is in the heavens and the earth; Yours is the dominion, O Lord, and You exalt Yourself as head over all.

Wow, excellent question.. I can't pick just one but I'll try... today I pick 1 John 4:7-21 (ESV)

"7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love. 9 In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. 10 In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 12 No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and this love is perfected in us.

13 By this we know that we abide in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit. 14 And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. 15 Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. 16 So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. 17 By this is love perfected with us, so that we may have confidence for the day of judgment, because as he is so also are we in this world. 18 There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love. 19 We love because he first loved us. 20 If anyone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot1 love God whom he has not seen. 21 And this commandment we have from him: whoever loves God must also love his brother."

My favorite is Philippians 4:13:I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

This Bible quote is one that I have loved and held onto for almost as long as I have been walking with Him.
"Behold! How good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!" Psalm 133:1

2 Corinthians 12:8-10

8 For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.

9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.
