Dave's Top 10 (no, not Letterman)

At our congregation, we are each choosing our top 10 favorite Scriptures. Then we will gather to discern from that huge list, our top 12 as a congregation and use these as our guide for the new year and beyond.

Here are my top 10. (After choosing these, I realized that there are so many more I could add).

1. John 8:32 And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.
2. Philippians 1:6 I am confident of this, that the one who began a good work among you will bring it to completion by the day of Jesus Christ.
3.  1 John 4:4 You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.
4. Romans 12:2 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you may discern what is the will of God--what is good and acceptable and perfect.
5. Ephesians 2:8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God--
6. Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
7. Philippians 4:6 Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.
8. Psalms 51:1 Have mercy on me, O God, according to your steadfast love; according to your abundant mercy blot out my transgressions.
9. Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.
10.2 Corinthians 12:9 My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.

These all have special meaning and a story for a particular time in my life. What might your top 10 be?
