It took me awhile to realize that there is actually a bit of Mary in me as well -- she, too, had her doubts, but because they look more "acceptable," we play Mary over Martha.

I had a friend who once told me that every day when he got into his car, he would actually look over at the passenger seat and say, "Buckle up, Lord. Here we go." It gave him the sense that God was right there in the car, and by his side. When he got out, he would make sure he mentally took Christ into the office or on the job site. Made a huge difference in his life. Thanks again for all you have posted and for sharing today. Coming to you from Theocentric Thursdays.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />Laura L.

I hadn't purposefully memorized any since college (10 years ago)! Sad, but true. I'm going to put Psalm 16:7-9 next on my list to memorize. I love that you visualized the Lord at your right hand steadying you. Sometimes it is easy to forget that He is right there next to us all the time.

I'm so glad these verses resonated for you today. And I LOVE Deuteronomy 31:8...one of my favorites I could easily have included on this list. Isn't it funny: growing up in church, I never considered Deuteronomy to be a rich source of "New Testament faith" verses to cling to. Now, I have many treasures marked up there in one of my Bibles. I'll be praying about that check-up for you and asking God to make it quick and boring! :) Thank you again for pouring out a blessing onto me today.Elizabeth Spencerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14323422138353699587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9214410332483250349.post-38694874863354826052015-09-18T14:24:19.726-04:002015-09-18T14:24:19.726-04:00You're welcome, Rebecca!
