My Challenge to YOU for 2010

Since our pastor has challenged us to share Christ with "ONE" in 2010, I thought it would be in our best interest to equip ourselves as best as we can. With that being said, here is my challenge to you for 2010...

Each month, I am asking you to choose "ONE" verse or passage of Scripture that you would like to memorize for the month. I will make a post on the 1st day of each month, starting in February, that will include my verse, its address, and the translation in which I am memorizing from. For example, the verse I have chosen to memorize for January is...

"Create in me a pure heart O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me."
Psalms 51:10-12 (NIV)

All you will have to do is reply to my post each month indicating the same information for your verse or passage of Scripture. I would like for us to be able to read one another's verse(s) so that we can see to what place the Lord has led you in His Word. Plus, some of us might want to memorize the same Scripture as you.

If you feel led to accept this challenge, simply reply to this post with a simple "count me in." I just have to wonder about the incredible stories that will come about as a result of committing ourselves to learning and applying God's Word to our lives. That is, in fact, what He has instructed us to do, right?

So, who's with me? Let me hear from you.

Count me in! January verse: "Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything." - James 1:2-4 (NIV)

For you shall go out with joy, and be led out with peace; the mountains and the hills shall break forth into singing before you, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.

Isaiah 55.12 New King James Version

This good stuff. Thank you so much for the challenge!
