Bible Verse for Today

That is why we never give up. Though our bodies are dying, our spirits are being renewed every day. For our present troubles are small and won't last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever. So we don't look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see Will last forever.

2 Corinthians 4: 16-18

I sometimes share a Bible Verse for the Day on my blog, such as this one, and I wanted to share a smidge more about how I choose them.  Usually a verse that I post as a "Verse for the Day" is one that was laid on my heart in my quiet time, during my time in Beth Moore's Fruits of the Spirit study, or one that I have stumbled upon during my blog roll reading that speaks to my heart in the moment.  Tonight I have been out with the ladies of my church, celebrating a sweet time in fellowship together honoring our 40 days of prayer for one another.  During this evenings time of fellowship I was asked before hand to share my testimony of how God has specifically impacted me during our 40 days of prayer.  Before I shared I prayed with the group and asked God to take me out of the way and let HIS testimony through me shine out.  IT DID . . . . . HE DID . . . . . and I was OUT OF THE WAY!  I will try as best as I can to post SOON the testimony in full that I shared tonight, but suffice it to say when I came home tonight and was winding down by reading my blog roll this verse POPPED out for me and I am passing it along.  Amazing how God's word falls into our lap at the perfect moment to WHAM HIS testimony out of the park!
