You will keep him in perfect peace,<br />
whose mind is stayed on You, because<br />
he trusts in You.<br />
of our life.<br />
Q<br />
What is the most<br />
rewarding part of<br />
following God’s will<br />
Seeing Him work in the lives<br />
of people from my family and<br />
others whom I’ve been able to be<br />
a testimony to.<br />
Q<br />
What verse would<br />
you use to spur others<br />
in their walk)? ?<br />
Romans 12:1-2: “I beseech<br />
you therefore, brethren, by the<br />
mercies of God, that you present<br />
?<br />
your bodies a living sacrifice,<br />
holy, acceptable to God, which<br />
is your reasonable service. And<br />
do not be conformed to this<br />
world,but be transformed by the<br />
renewing of your mind, that you<br />
may prove what is that good and<br />
acceptable and perfect will of<br />
God.”<br />
Q<br />
Do you have a<br />
favorite verse<br />
?<br />
One longtime favorite verse has<br />
been Proverbs 3:5-6: “Trust in<br />
the Lord with all your heart,<br />
and lean not on your own<br />
understanding; in all your ways<br />
acknowledge Him, and He shall<br />
direct your paths,” because it<br />
gives me great comfort and<br />
security in God’s promises to<br />
direct my ways if I look to Him<br />
for guidance.<br />
Another verse is Isaiah 26:3,<br />
which says, “You will keep him<br />
in perfect peace, whose mind is<br />
stayed on You, because he trusts<br />
in You.”<br />
Another one of my favorites that<br />
is encouraging is Romans 8:28.<br />
“And we know<br />
that all things<br />
work together<br />
for good to<br />
those who love<br />
God, to those<br />
who are the<br />
called according<br />
to His purpose.”<br />
