This is the verse that popped into my head for now, since I change my mind all the time : ).

Isaiah 55:8-12

“ For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways My ways,” says the LORD.
“ For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are My ways higher than your ways,
And My thoughts than your thoughts.
“ For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven,
And do not return there,
But water the earth,
And make it bring forth and bud,
That it may give seed to the sower
And bread to the eater,
So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth;
It shall not return to Me void,
But it shall accomplish what I please,
And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.
“ 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."

Wow, I really like these verses. I was reading a book by Lee Stroebel and unfortunately, I can't remember which one but he said that if we could understand God's ways... then perhaps he can't be God after all. Perhaps I don't have it exactly right bu I can see it in these verses. Thanks...

Do you have it memorized?

I have quite a bit of it memorized, but not all. I have all of it written on an index card in my purse. I get it out and read it when I'm having a tough day at work : ).

"Out of Zion will come the Redeemer;
He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob
and this will be my covenant with them,...
when I take away their sins."

Romans 11:26-27

Proverbs 3:5,6 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not to thine own understanding.
In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths.

I have a friend who's daughter came back to the Lord after a long and difficult time. This was her verse. She was under 20 She's with the Lord now and can have her paths directed.

God so loved the world ... he gave his only begotten Son!
That's the first one that came to my mind.
I have a lot I love> ^L^

If I may I'm gonna cheat just a little. I have two verses that stand out to me. First is 2 Corinthians 5:17, "Therefore, if any man be in Christ he is a new creation, old things have passed away, behold all things are become new." The second is Romans 8:1, "Therefore there is now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who walk no according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit."
