Don't you just love the scriptures?Most every morning I awaken early, hopefully while it is still dark. I tiptoe into The Great Room, we call it, to settle into my Scripture Chair. The little hymnal is randomly opened to discover a new hymn for the day. Singing a hymn before prayer is a lovely recent addition to the ritual. The Spirit is sweet.
Writing in my journal is next. Oh, I love to write. Not that I am a great writer but I love to reflect on the day before; the tender mercies of the Lord, the joys of life, and the lessons learned.
Next comes the best part: Scripture Study. For about an hour the scriptures are my life-line to heaven. Beginning the day in this way sets the day in proper order. Even though I am in pajamas I feel dressed for the day in my 'Armor' as I arise change into clothes.
This lovely Sabbath Day I wish to share the scriptures of my heart.
- Rejoice Evermore. 1 Thessalonians 5:16
- I can do all things through Christ which strengthenth me. Philippians 4:13
- For Behold, I am God; and I am a GOD OF MIRACLES. 2 Nephi 25:23
- This is the day the Lord hath made; we will Rejoice and be Glad in it. Psalm 118:24
- The Lord will wipe away tears from off all faces. Isaiah 25:8
- For with God nothing is impossible. Luke 1:37

I love 2 Nephi 31:20...press forward with steadfastness and hope...I love the imagery that scriptures creates.
Ether 12:27...weaknesses become strengths. I have seen this happen in my life over and over.
D&C 52:4 To the faithful, it shall be made known unto them what they shall do. That gives me so much peace and a greater desire to be faithful; I need the Lord's direction in my life.
Thanks for sharing your favorites.
