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?
