• Theme Verse for 2008

  God always seems to bring me a theme verse just in time.

  2005 - Matthew 6:33: Seek first His Kingdom and Righteousness
  2006 - Psalm 32:8: God will instruct me, teach me, watch over me and counsel me
  2007 - John 8:31-32: If I hold to His instruction, I will be free

  And for this year, He gave me this:
  The Lord is my portion.

  It's the center verse in a passage I have grown to love (Lam. 3:21-27):

  Yet this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope:
  Because of the LORD's great love
  We are not consumed,
  For his compassions never fail.
  They are new every morning;
  Great is your faithfulness.
  
  I say to myself "The LORD is my portion, therefore I will wait for him."

  The LORD is good to those whose trust is in him,
  To the one who seeks him
  It is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD
  It is good for a man to bear the yoke while he is young

  There's something about that entire passage that speaks to everything I need to know right now about God and my relationship to Him.
