Verse a Day
Dec
1
The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, Romans 8:16
2
and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together. Romans 8:17
3
He maketh my feet like hinds' feet, and setteth me upon my high places. Psalm 18:33
4
There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. Romans 8:1
5
For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Romans 8:6
6
Now may our God and Father Himself, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way to you. And may the Lord make you increase and abound in love to one another and to all, just as we do to you, so that He may establish your hearts blameless in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all His saints. 1 Thessalonians 3:13
7
Being confident of this thing, that He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ. Philippians 1:6
8
And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. Romans 8:28
9
What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? Romans 8:31
10
He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? Romans 8:32
11
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? Romans 8:35
12
Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. Romans 8:37
13
For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, Romans 8:38
14
nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:39
15
Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
          Romans 5:1
16
through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. Romans 5:2
17
And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance;
       Romans 5:3
18
and perseverance, character; and character, hope. Romans 5:4
19
Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us. Romans 5:5
20
For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. Romans 5:6
21
But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8
22
For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. Romans 5:10
23
And not only that, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation. Romans 5:11
24
But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. 1 Corinthians 2:10
25
Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? 1 Corinthians 6:9
26
For the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. Romans 14:17
27
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. Romans 12:1
28
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. Romans 12:2
29
In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.
        Psalm 56:4
30
Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.
       Hebrews 10:23
31
And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching. Hebrews 10:24+25


and here's a Matisyahu song to say Happy Hanukkah to anyone celebrating it! (obviously not my usual style, but I rather like it.)
