Text: Psalm 118:1
We believe memorizing scripture is one of the best ways to carry the Word of our God with us wherever we go—to have God-breathed truth, instruction and reproof in our hearts and minds as we live unto Him each day.
This week we’ve chosen a reminder of our reason for thankfulness:
Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good;
His faithful love endures forever.
-Psalm 118:1
Write this verse down—copy it twenty times if that helps! 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?

Having a blah day. An irritable day. But on this not so good day, I’m thankful for a God who’s FAITHFUL love endures forever. He loves me on my bad days just like He loves me on my good days. ♥️ im thankful this verse fell on today of all day. Valentine’s Day, when I’m feeling the woes, just a simple God wink reminder such as this verse.
All thanks and glory to Christ Jesus!
It’s sometimes hard to embody this truth
Such a great reminder to memorize scripture!
We said this as a family at the dinner table every night for a year, my daughter was 2, she memorized it and at 12 has a deep appreciation for it and how it was remembered. All the family time we spent around the table. God is so good
His love endures FOREVER. Everyone should have this kind of love in their life, and it only comes from God.❤️
“This is reason enough for giving him thanks; goodness is his essence and nature, and therefore he is always to be praised whether we are receiving anything from him or not. Those who only praise God because he does them good should rise to a higher note and give thanks to him because he is good.” – C.H. Spurgeon
@Rhonda J. Sometimes we forget what would have been a perfect moment to do something like praying out loud for your friend but the fact that you’re even stepping out in faith like that is amazing! I can tell you right now I don’t think I could do it so props to you!
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! (or afternoon!) We had such a blessed, but long morning at church! We are greeters so start early, but I also stepped out in faith to be an alter call prayer-person! I am so uncomfortable with out loud praying for people, but God has been calling me to step out and follow His prompting! Seek His will, not my own! Surrender my wants to His!! (“First Thing First” song! playing)
The sermon (message! lol) was so good about coming to church and being edified (which is wonderful)…but then in turn, be the church that serves others that come. As in Jesus eating with his disciples, but then taking off his robe and putting a towel around his waist to wash their feet! All the dirty, accumulated yuck, on their feet…we are to wash the feet of those coming into church to minister and pray for and with them. Be a serving church, not just coming to play our role, but to truly want to give what we got, to others that are needing redemption! It’s a beautiful message! To be able to take someone’s hands, and pray in the power of the Holy Spirit for their requests and needs is such a powerful gift from God! It doesn’t have to be in church though, right, we know we can give prayer as we come across anyone in need! There IS nothing that can heal like our Almighty God! Joy to God!
I had a friend drop by unannounced on Friday after leaving work upset and crying. She just needed a hug. After she left I was sad I didn’t say a prayer for her outloud. It would have been a powerful way to show Jesus to her. Although I did slide in a few phrases of finding our “God -given purpose” and texted her a prayer verse later, it was unfortunate that I didn’t step out in my awkwardness to pray then and there. I’m a work in progress! :)
Have a great Sunday! Praise the Lord!
Oh, and lots of prayers for your interview Sarah D!!!
Which was so fun to watch! If you’ve ever been fly fishing you know how hard it can be! I forget I live in such a beautiful country out here in Montana. Praying for you all this week to have a wonderful week!
@Sarah D. Prayers for your next interview!! Every step of the way you become stronger! Happy Sunday ladies. I spent Saturday on the river for a friends birthday and it was so much fun! We even saw a black bear on the side of the water as we went by. My friend has been practicing her fly fishing and she finally caught one by herself
Oh, HEIDI, bless your heart! As I have been praying for you and your family I was thinking of all the things that have landed in your lap these past weeks. Joining in prayer for your niece.
MICHELLE – Beautiful words and encouragement!
Happy Sunday :)
Prayers for your niece, @Heidi – that the Lord would continue to work on her heart and help her see Him in the miracle of a new life growing inside her. Prayers you @Sarah D- that God’s voice would be clear as you follow Him to where He is leading you next. He is faithful. I think about how in Psalm 139, it says all of our days are written in His book. Before we even take a breath on earth, He knows our beginning and end. Take heart, Sarah, and the rest of you ladies, myself included. We have a GOOD shepherd. He knows what is best for us. Even if it feels hard and not so good – know that He has His eye on us and is familiar with all of our ways, weaknesses, and doubts. May He bless us and sustain us to live for Him. God be our vision. Have a blessed and fruitful day, friends!
Good morning ladies! Not much time this morning, I will be back to read things later, but I woke up to a text from my niece from late late last night asking for prayers about her thoughts in her mind… She struggles greatly with this and with the pregnancy I can only imagine it’s going to be an even more difficult mental season. Thank you so much for praying for her! ❤️
Give thanks to the LORD for HE is GOOD. HIS faithful LOVE endures forever. AMEN.

I’ve been struggling with stress, and forgetting, or choosing to not do my devotions. I come back to this wonderful reminder of God’s goodness to me. Thank God for his amazing love!
When you are down God knows just the thing for you to hear to pick you up!
Forever God is faithful!! His love endures forever! Perfect verse for today, God never disappoints.

It’s so simple!! We give thanks because He is good!
I know that God will love me even when I push Him away or resent Him. He is SO good. I love you, God!
Lord, you are good. Completely. Always. Joyfully. To me. You are good. Thank you! Not only are you good to me but you are also good to the ones I ❤️. I’m even thankful that you are good to my enemies, for you loving kindness leads people to repentance. Love you, lord.
Thank you God for loving me!
This spoke to me today because I thought about all the ways human love quits. Human love quits when relationships get hard. Human love quits when we succumb to the pride of our hearts. Human love quits when we give up on others. In a world full of divorce, affairs, and strife, it is comforting to my heart to know that there is a love that never quits and endures forever.
Yes!
Memorizing scriptures can be sometimes difficult but this approach is made it easier.
I give thanks to my heavenly father for all the small things and big things he has blessed me and my husband went to God be the glory praise God I give him my all I thank God for what he’s doing in my life and then my family Life looking forward to 2017 and I know that 2017 will be my year to come 2016 has been a tremendous blessingfor my family and I thank God thank you Jesus I’m so thankful God bless you all.
Thank you for showing up when I’m at my most broken point…thank you for loving me without requirements, limits, or terms of condition. Thanks for being the good Father that you are and for being the only true constant I have had in my life. Amen
Thank you God for loving me!
He deserves every bit of praise! He is such a good father and his love endures forever! Such a great verse!
“Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good. His love endures forever !!!!!
“Give thanks to the Lord for He is good. His love endures forever” Thank You My Savior for all you have done with this lowly person
Giving thanks anchors our focus on the Who rather than the what. It keeps us centered on the big picture instead of the small details that can be distracting. This is something I’m praying for myself, that it would go from head knowledge to heart knowledge.
“Give thanks to the Lord for He is good. His love endures forever.” I don’t always believe it but I will alway say it- continuing to remind myself of who God is in all circumstances!!!!
God performed mighty wonders for the Israelites in the desert, that is why they sing, that is why they make a joyful noise to the Lord. They remembered what God has done. He is victorious in everything. We do not have to doubt who will win. We know who wins!
Give thanks to the Lord for He is good. His faithful love endures forever. Psalms 118:1
Give thanks to the Lord for he is good. His faithful love endures forever. Psalm 118:1. God’s love is truly forever and it will never end. I am reminded of this in many ways but forget to give gratitude to the giver of love, grace, and forgiveness.
This plan has been so life giving. Thank you she reads truth for helping me rediscover the beauty of the Word.
Give thanks to the Lord, for he is GOOD and his faithful love endures forever. Psalm 118:1 ~ Thank you Lord for loving us even when we don’t deserve it. You are always faithful
Yes he is worthy of all praise and I thank him daily for who he is and he is good and his love and mercy endures forever
Give thanks to the Lord for he is good! His steadfast love endures forever. Thank you Jesus ❤️

His love endures forever!!! His love was there before everything/anything was created and will last for eternity!!! He is so faithful to us. Thinking of how complex and deep His love is for us is so hard grasp. Gods love is extraordinary
My husband just got laid off. We are/were a 1 income family. I am home with the kids. I HAVE to trust that He will provide. Oh God. Please come through. We really need this.
Van, He is always good, no matter the circumstance! The scriptures says his FAITHFUL love endures forever. Our God is faithful and he WILL provide! I am standing with you in faith believing that a miracle is going to happen for your family!
Any updates yet Van??
So, so thankful for God’s love that never ends.
Proud to say that I am a believer in Christ! I am his beloved daughter! His love for me is unconditional and never ends!
I absolutely LOVE this commitment challenger! It is so important for us to be Ina community of scripture readers and memorized :)
I have been wanting to begin memorizing scripture, but have been unsure of where to start. This seems like the perfect verse to begin with. Sing praise to God for he is good and loving! scri
Oops, ignore the typo at the end!
Sing praise! Forever You are faithful! Forever you are strong!
Hallelujah! Resting in this truth!!
❤️
How blessed are we??! His faithful love endures FOREVER!!!!
❤️
Thank-you Sophonie for those words of encouragement. :)
When I was younger I loved to remember his words, but at some point I lost my fire. The world seemed to knock me down and take my joy. But I got it back all glory to him. When he’s with you he never leaves you no matter how much you feel like you’re alone. You can always come back home and he’ll welcome us back with open arms. You can never go to far we’re always and forever will be welcomed back home ❤️
God is good. He works all things into good. Today God answered my prayer from a year ago and yet the way was surprising. He is faithful, never forgets about me, never forgets my pleas and prayers. The answer is not what I thought it would be, but then I am human
❤️
He is my savior and my father I thank you LORD
Oh He is sooooo good!!!!!!
I give thanks unto the Lord, for when I think about they ways His faithful love has endured in my life I am overwhelmed…in a good way! The Lord has been so good, and I don’t even know the half of it; God has been good to me, loving me and showing me kindness, grace and mercy even in times that I didn’t see it or recognize it! I am so grateful to be loved by Him, faithful and loving God that He is!
Praying for you Holly!
If someone could please pray for me, I’m really struggling in my faith right now. Thank you!
Praying for you now Holly! Give the Lord your surrendered heart and let him fight for you.. Praying you’ll trust him and continue to seek his truth above all.
Praying for you!
I’m praying for you! The best advice I can give is for you to pray too! If you don’t understand God’s plans for you, or you feel like your faith is being tested, or even that you’re having a hard time having a relationship with God, talk with him. God ALWAYS hears our prayers, and no matter how far away from him you get, he ALWAYS wants to bring you back. His love for you is unconditional, and his Grace and Mercy are without bounds ❤️
Beautiful reminder of being wholly loved.
Wholly loved. Oh, my soul….
Pray for me please…going through a difficult time right now and I’m not sure what to do..,please pray for me. Thank You
Hi Natalie, praying for you, sister. Praying that you will be enveloped by God’s faithful love and overcome with peace
I needed this reminder! GIVE THANKS TO THE LORD!
I needed this reminder today. I am feeling pretty overwhelmed and discouraged. I am going to give thanks to the Lord anyway!
Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! His faithful love endures forever!
Give thanks to the lord, for he is good! His love endures forever!!
Keep your eyes on Him, not on the water. Yet it is so easy to focus on the water of struggles and downfalls but when we focus on Him and give thanks we’re safe and peaceful in Him. That’s the lesson I’m learning. I’ve been disappointed in someone I really care but I’m reminded that God has a bigger plan than my disappointments and broken dreams.
This is a great reminder to keep in my heart at all times.
Beautiful reminder. I’ve found that even in times I’m struggling to REALLY surrender to the Truth, bombarded by partial truths or full out lies in my mind, this has kept me afloat. When Jesus was tempted by the Devil in the wilderness, his way of combating it was to quote scripture. At times, it’s easy to think, well of course Jesus withstood the devil, he’s Jesus. But to flip that statement, consider how easily Jesus could have ruled nations or turned stones into bread. He actively chose to surrender to God and hold to His promise. It’s amazing! “Give thanks to the Lord for he is good, his steadfast love endures forever.”
Give thanks to the Lord for he is good his steadfast love endures forever
I am trying hard the last few weeks to keep a positive attitude and heart of thanksgiving. I know I should not allow other people to bring me down and cause me to be discouraged. My husband and I are dealing with a son that has a serious addiction problem. He has done much better, but there are hard times still.
Jenny~ I just prayed for you. For a peace that passes all understanding and for redemption and grace for your son. His love endures forever!
I have been really learning how to lean on God’s promises lately. The burdens of life and my health issues have been very intense lately. I am tired of being strong, I’m tired of being weak and crying over it all. My husband has been a wonderful listening ear for me. I know that it is a season and I will get through it when I rely on God, but it is still really hard though.
Praying for the Comforter to come as you call upon Him, and flood you with His presence and peace. I pray that He reminds you of those dear promises God has made you and that in His arms you find your rest and all you need. He sees and understands you like no other can, and is so Faithful to His promises to You. I have been so encouraged during rough seasons of my life with this song, and I hope that the HOPE of all the world floods your soul Grace, as you listen to it:

Praying for you and also your husband. May you cast your cares upon God because he cares for you. May God also give you strength to get through your days. You will be healed. Thank God for the good and the bad, give him everything you’ve got even when you feel weak. God loves you and want’s to bring you out of this season. God bless.
Amen!

Thank you for keeping up the Weekly Truth posts! I have missed having them the last few weeks.
I need some prayer, honestly it really feels like I am under direct attack this week. My car blew a tire and I honestly have no money to fix it, I had to take a second job to make ends meet and it feels like I am barely keeping my head above water. I have kept tithing and being faithful and I know that God will never leave me nor forsake me, it’s just hard to see right now.
Praying for you Stephanie.
When I’m overwhelmed (been there financially too), I look at some scriptures one of my friends printed for me that I carry around. One of them is Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.
This time will not last forever, even if it feels like it does. Hugs to you.
Praying for you!!
I completely understand. I got in a car wreck last week and my sister had a flat tire and my family and I are feeling the burden of expenses. Sometimes when we draw closer to God and start living more in His word and following Him we have attacks. We feel as if we are getting attacked. I will pray for you and just know God is always true and just. Knowing that and that He has a plan gets me through everything.
Prayers Stephanie. I have to encourage myself at times, that God is for me and not against me. He is on my side.
Loved that SRT gave us a page like the Weekly Truth, to outline the memorization verse . I dug out some old colored pencils and focused on my inner artist lol. My granddaughter said she didn’t know grandma’s knew how to color! (hope that gives you a Sunday smile!)
Adorable! And who would have thought coloring decreases stress in adults?? I do it in my spare time :)
God has been so faithful to my family and I. I’m so grateful to Him for all He has done for us!
Good morning from Wisconsin, sisters! Excited to lead my first spiritual book club today! Praying to God for wisdom and to tame the butterflies as I’m a little nervous. Have a blessed day!
Good luck. You totally have this. And God will help guide you to deliver his message in the best way possible. Prayers your way !
Thank you Chelsea!
Prayers for you, Joanna!
Thank you EE :)
Let us know your book selections so some of us bibliophiles can read along! Praying all goes well
Hi! Our first book was The Day I Met Jesus: The Revealing Diaries of Five Women from the Gospel. It was a quick read and a wonderful conversation starter, especially because it’s written from the women’s point of view. If you have any you can recommend, please do! Appreciate the prayers, it was such a wonderful experience. Jesus was with us!
Wonderful! Glad to hear a good report! God rewards our obedience and equips us as we step out in faith! Well done!
I’ll have to look into that book. I’m always looking for something new
There is a great app to help memorize scripture. It’s called Verses. My husband and I have both loved memorizing scripture together through this app and it has help me memorize over 20 verses in almost a month. Give it a try.
I will try it, thanks Allison!!
And take up the sword of the spirit which is The Word of God (Ephesians 6:17). Scripture memorization. This is what use to fight spiritually ladies! Let’s follow Joshua 1:8 and meditate on it day and night and never let it leave our lips! Thanks to God for giving us His Word.
A
Amen Elizabeth!! Love all of that scripture. So powerful. Been doing the Armor of God Bible study by Priscilla and it is incredible! Talks about how we have to battle with prayer in order to put the armor of God on. Daily time in the Word, prayer, and mediation/memorization of scripture are the best ways to stand against the schemes of the devil!! The Lord is so good! Praying for this week to be filled with joy from being so thankful for all Christ has done for us!
All thanks and praise to our Heavenly Father! HalleluYAH!!!
He is good no matter the circumstances!
Thanking God for HE is good…and hands lifted in praise to Him for His faithful love and goodness…
Happy Sunday….scatter His joy!!! Xx
“Scatter His joy” – I like that.
Love the memory work. Suffered respiratory failure. I want scripture to live, beathe, pour out of me; it is living, breathing and brings comfort to my soul. It is hard. Nothing is impossible with God. I am here. And veetical. Memory work of every form helps. Imprinting God’s words is sustenance . Thank you.
“Imprinting God’s word is sustenance.” Amen! Praying for you!
Indeed, imprinting God’s words is sustenance precious Kathryn. I’m praying for your recovery and discovery of further joys.
Praying for you, and thanking God that you are still here! Indeed, his word is life. In Him we live, we move, and we have our being!
Acts 17: 28. Life. Breathe. Comfort.
