I think it's important to not only have a favorite Bible verse, but a reminder of that verse in your home.
Last Saturday while I was sitting on my couch, I was suddenly overcome with emotions. My chest tightened up, and worry consumed my thoughts.
I cried out, "Lord. I don't know what's going on but I need you. Please take this stress away."
A few minutes passed when I looked down and noticed a gift. It's a plaque with my favorite Bible verse Joshua 1:9 "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”
A felt a little relief, but then asked, "but what do I need to do God?"
That's when I noticed to plaque on the other side of the table. It's from the 46th Psalm "Be still. And know that I am God!"
Amen!
