Favorite Bible Verses

Kwanzaa White, a receptionist with our firm, furnished two verses for this issue. She says the verse found in Isaiah gives her confirmation that as God’s children we are taught about His peace and how we can receive this peace in the midst of whatever is around us. Kwanzaa also says it is great to declare the verse over her children.

All your children will be taught by the Lord, and great will be their peace.

Isaiah 54:13

Kwanzaa says a verse in Colossians reminds her of how much more we have in Jesus Christ. She says that it helps her to get her eyes off current circumstances and helps her to focus back on Him.

Since, then you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.

Colossians 3:1

Susan Harding, a Legal Assistant in our firm’s Mass Torts Section, furnished a verse for this issue.

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

Proverbs 3: 5-6

Cristy Herndon, who is from Montgomery, along with her request to stay on the Report list, sent in this timely verse

For the poor will never cease from the land; therefore I command you, saying, ‘You shall open your hand wide to your brother, to your poor and your needy, in your land.’

Deut. 15:11

Rev. Andrew E. Dawkins, who is from Prattville, also sent in a favorite verse for this issue. It’s one that we should all take to heart:

Consider what I say, and may the Lord give you understanding in all things.

II Tim. 2:7

Pastor Vince Rosato, the Executive Director of Friendship Mission in Montgomery, also sent in several verses this month. We selected two of his for this issue.

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

Second Corinthians 5:17

He who has pity on the poor lends to the LORD, And He will pay back what he has given.

Proverbs 19:17

Kathy Gunn, who is another of our firm’s receptionists, sent in the following verse. With all the disturbance going on in the world today, Kathy says she is thankful for God’s promises of protection for his children. Kathy says when we make Him our refuge we are kept safe.

You who sit down in the High God’s presence, spend the night in Shaddai’s shadow, say this: God you’re my refuge. I trust in you and I’m safe!” That’s right – he rescues you from hidden traps, shields you from deadly hazards. His huge outstretched arms protect you – under them you’re perfectly safe; his arms fend off all harm.

Psalm 91:1-3 (MSG)
