Since today is 12/12/12, I'm sharing 12 of my favorite bible verses.

Twelve Favorite Scriptures

1.  "For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.  But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble." (Mt. 6:33,34)

2.  "Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things."

3.   But those who wait on the Lord
Shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings like eagles,
They shall run and not be weary,
They shall walk and not faint. 
(Is. 40:31)

4. "Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed.  And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” (John 8:31-32)

5.  "Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord,
The fruit of the womb is a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior,
So are the children of one’s youth. Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them;" (Psalm 127:3-5)

6. "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope."  Jer. 29:11

  
7. "Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.  Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God."  (Romans 8:26-27)

8. And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.  (Romans 8:28)

9.  A merry heart does good, like medicine,
But a broken spirit dries the bones. (Proverbs 17:2)

10.  "And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus." (Phillipians 4:19)

11. Hope deferred makes the heart sick,
    but a dream fulfilled is a tree of life. (Proverbs 13:12)

12.  “The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me,
Because He has anointed Me
To preach the gospel to the poor;
He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,
To proclaim liberty to the captives
And recovery of sight to the blind,
To set at liberty those who are oppressed;

To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.”  (Luke 4:18, 19)

"Even a fool is counted wise when he holds his peace;
When he shuts his lips, he is considered perceptive." (Proverbs 17:28)
