Weekly Truth

Open Your Bible

Matthew 5:3-6

Memorizing Scripture is one of the best ways to carry God-breathed truth, instruction, and reproof wherever we go.  This week, we’re memorizing the first four beatitudes (and next week we’ll memorize the last four!).

Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.
Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.
—Matthew 5:3-6

Write this passage down and post it on your mirror or at your desk, in your car or on the fridge—anywhere you’ll see it often. Save the image below as your phone’s lock screen so you can read these words of truth throughout the day.

We want to be a community that is intentional about Scripture memorization. Will you join us?

    “Blessed are those who mourn for they shall be comforted.” Praying for Israel this morning and for all those who lost someone in this newly declared war, may they be comforted by the God of all comfort. Also praying for all those in Israel who are still seeking a Messiah when He has already come. May they know the true God, the one God, the only God. May their eyes be opened and may they call upon the name of the Lord to rescue them – once more. Isaiah 44:6-8, “you are my witnesses…there is no other Rock…”

    Have a blessed Lord’s day my sweet sisters – off now to get ready for worship! Prayers for each of you!

    Happy Sunday! Have a beautiful day ladies!

    Love the emphasis on trust and God’s faithfulness yesterday (thanks for Jeremiah passage, CEE GEE), and was reminded of the hymn Trust and Obey by John H Sammis, 1887 (may have been brought up in KELLY (NEO)’s favorites challenge in hymns study?). In the 4th verse, “until ALL on the altar we lay” (emphasis mine). Seems like I can sometimes give it all (mostly?) to Him, the issue is leaving it with Him instead of taking it back to worry and fret over some more. End of verse 5, “Never fear, only trust and obey” …

    Praying for Israel.

    Praying for LINDAK and RHONDA J (sorry about name typo yesterday!) for relief of pain.

    LYNNE FROM AL, LINDA IN NC and NANCY S – praying for each of you and your husbands.

    CEE GEE ❤️

    When we walk with the Lord
    In the light of His Word,
    What a glory He sheds on our way;
    While we do His good will,
    He abides with us still,
    And with all who will trust and obey.

    Refrain (after each verse):
    Trust and obey,
    For there’s no other way
    To be happy in Jesus,
    But to trust and obey.

    2
    Not a shadow can rise,
    Not a cloud in the skies,
    But His smile quickly drives it away;
    Not a doubt or a fear,
    Not a sigh or a tear,
    Can abide while we trust and obey.
    3
    Not a burden we bear,
    Not a sorrow we share,
    But our toil He doth richly repay;
    Not a grief or a loss,
    Not a frown or a cross,
    But is blest if we trust and obey.
    4
    But we never can prove
    The delights of His love,
    Until all on the altar we lay;
    For the favor He shows,
    And the joy He bestows,
    Are for them who will trust and obey.
    5
    Then in fellowship sweet
    We will sit at His feet,
    Or we’ll walk by His side in the way;
    What He says we will do;
    Where He sends, we will go,
    Never fear, only trust and obey.

    A beautiful Fall day to rejoice in the Lord and open our hearts to all that He has to say to us today!

    This has been a great week of study and reflection! Have a wonderful Sunday. SHES!

  7. Rhonda J. says:

    Good Morning, Good Sunday Morning!!
    Love my Sundays, although got to get moving…which I don’t love, lol! Excited to go be with my church family! Too bad I don’t get to see any of you lovely, sweet ladies in person! Have a blessed day :)

  8. Kelly (NEO) says:

    “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort. 4 He comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any kind of affliction, through the comfort we ourselves receive from God. 5 For just as the sufferings of Christ overflow to us, so also through Christ our comfort overflows. 6 If we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation. If we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you patient endurance of the same sufferings that we suffer. 7 And our hope for you is firm, because we know that as you share in the sufferings, so you will also share in the comfort.” (2Cor.2:3-7)

    As Christ’s body, we are the ones to show His comfort to those who mourn.

    Lord, be with your people who are helping those in Israel, in Ukraine, and other places who are mourning.

    RHONDA J – rejoicing with you!

    MARI V – keep communicating with your teacher as to how best to partner with her. If she is open to it maybe you two could have a daily or weekly “huddle” with her lesson plan and see how she invisions your help implementing it?

    LINDA K – praying the Lord will give you relief or strengthen you to persevere

    I’m going to try to make sure to write this down to try to memorize it…so good ❤️

  10. Molly Gilbane says:

    Thank you Lord for this beautiful life! Thank you for the sun, for the trees, for my home, for my spectacular son, and supportive husband. Thank you for our good health and for opportunities to travel and experience new things! Thank you for the power of friendship. I love you, Lord

  11. April says:

    I think I have it memorized! Love these words.

  12. churchmouse says:

    When I wholly rely on God, when I grieve to the very depths of my soul, when I remain submitted to the authority of the Father, and when I am solely focused on following hard after Jesus, I experience the kingdom of heaven, true and complete comfort, the joys of the earth and full satisfaction. All in Him and through Him. Praising God for these truths today!

    1. Robin says:

      Love this! Thank you for these words today!

  13. Jackie B. says:

    I just wrote this scripture down and am making a commitment to my SRT friends to memorize this! I am so thankful that my daughter-in-law introduced me to SRT!

  14. Sue D. says:

    My church has Wednesday night classes we call SLU (Spiritual Life University). The class I’ve been taking on discipleship has a new memory verse every week. Memorizing scripture is a definite way to keep God’s word in your heart and in your mind. We can do this ladies!

      Yes we can :)
