Psalm 84:10

When I saw that I was Member 622, I knew that I would find Ps 62:2 to be a great one-line favorite...a sort of introduction or re-introduction of anna274

Ps 62:2  He alone is my rock and my salvation, my stronghold; I will never be shaken.

==============
and a couple of cross-references that have really strengthened my hope, faith...

Ps 37:24  Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down:  FOR THE LORD UPHOLDETH him with HIS HAND.

Ps 145:14  The LORD helps ALL who fall;  He raises up ALL who are oppressed.

Beautiful scriptures, Anna.  Is there a significance to the number 274 in your username?

Oh yes... great significance!!! Actually "anna274" has great significance for me

Ps 27:4
One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house* of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to inquire in His temple.

(Really, really became aware of Ps 27:4 in 1959... long story (I'm old!!!) at a time when I was a member IN a small Christian community and a member IN a large Christian denomination... I stress IN as I was never actually a member OF any religious group... you know, IN the world, but not OF the world.

*a translation that I prefer has "presence" instead of "house"

Anna of Luke 2:36-38 is for me an example of Ps 27:4

Luke 2
v 36 ...Anna, was of great age...
v 37 ...who departed not from the temple, but served God... night and day
v 38 ...gave thanks unto the Lord, and spake of Him to ALL them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem.

Another "one thing" that is very meaningful to me--

Luke 10:42
But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.

(Luke 10:39 And she had a sister called Mary, who sat at Jesus' feet and heard His word.)

God has given me the TIME (I'm a retired business instructor); the ENERGY (I'm  healthy... in all ways:  physically, emotionally, socially, psychologically AND spiritually) and the FREEDOM (I don't belong to any group) to sit at His feet and hopefully to grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ...Savior of all men.

Sorry for such a long answer....

I love it!

We named our daughter, Anna Grace, after the same biblical character.  The names Anna and Grace both mean: grace.  So I have often called her Gracie Grace. :laughing7:  After having 3 boys, she was a double dose of grace. :laugh:  She was our last chance to have a sweet girl.

Romans 5:8  (NLT)
God showed His great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.

a three-liner

Phil 3:13-15  (AMP)
v 13  I do not consider, brethren, that I have captured and made it my own [yet]; but one thing I do [it is my one aspiration]:  forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead.

v 14  I press on toward the goal to win the [supreme and heavenly] prize to which God in Christ Jesus is calling us upward.

v 15   So let those who are spiritually mature and full-grown have this mind and hold these convictions;  and if in any respect you have a different attitude of mind, God will make that clear to you also.

[Tom]

Amen

John 15:13
No one has greater love  :HeartThrob: [no one has shown stronger affection] than to lay down his own life for his friends.

Romans 5:8
God shows clearly His [own] love  :HeartThrob: for us by the fact that while we were still sinners, Christ(the Messiah, the Anointed One) died for us.

1 John 3:16
By this we come to know (progressively to recognize, to perceive, to understand) the [essential] love  :HeartThrob::  that He laid down His life for us; and we ought to lay our lives down for our brothers.

Our God is an awesome God!

I'm hijacking the thread I started, because this isn't a scripture.  However, saw it just now from a friend and liked it.

"Until God opens the next door, praise Him in the hallway".  Blessings.

not scriptural, but noteworthy.... so it goes into my notebook.  Thanks

and since this thread has been hijacked by the OP, instead of a one-liner, I share a two liner :)  In fact, a whole Psalm...

Psalm 117
v  1  O praise the Lord, ALL ye nations:  praise Him, ALL ye people.

v   2  For His merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the Lord endureth for ever.  Praise ye the Lord.

[jabcat]

:)  Amen!
