"For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is His mercy toward them that love Him."
Psalm 103:11
I picked this one, primarily for the same reason I picked the other two so far. I was looking for something encouraging or positive. I was originally using the concordance in the back of my Bible to try and get my brain moving and get some ideas, because there are tons of verses in the Bible that I could use, but I just need to find the right ones. But, then I gave up on the concordance and decided to just browse at my leisure.
I am a freak who, when I highlight something in my Bible, I do it all to a color organized system.Passages that I have underlined in red are all about love and sacrifice, etc. Green passages are all about growth of the faith and spiritual life, and blue passages are what I like to call "refreshers." You might be able to pick up on my train of thought here--refresh/renewal=water, which quenches thirst=blue highlighter. Yeah, you get the point.
But anyways, as I was browsing, I found my color coded passages to be pretty helpful in selecting his verse for today. I was looking mainly at the blue passages, because that's the kind of stuff I was looking for. Then I read Psalm 103:11, which I hadn't color coded at all (yet) and I just immediately thought it was perfect!
If you give your heart over to God and serve Him with everything you have, and love him with all of your heart, then He will walk beside you and show you mercy all the days of your life.
What could be more positive than that to start your day?!
Day 1 & 2
