It’s funny that you mentioned “still hugging James close to me”. I’ve had Psalm 71 posted in my bathroom for months now from learning it last winter. As we get ready to learn a new chapter, I have mixed feelings because I have fallen in love with Psalm 71 and I don’t want to relegate it to a 2nd place position. ha. But I know my limitations; my brain can’t keep actively working on too many things at once.

Taking small bites is good. When we gulp down too much at one time we can’t really digest it.

Yes, the directness and clarity of Micah 6:8 makes it a favorite for me too. If we can do those three things, we are also obeying the greatest commands of loving God with all our hearts, minds, souls, and loving our neighbors as ourselves.

Yep, that’s always a good one, isn’t it? I should keep that one in front of me all the time. I’d say it worked for you since you stayed calm after losing a post. 🙂

I hear you, Linda. My translation of preference is the English Standard Version, but for many of these classic verses, I resorted back to King James as well because that’s how I originally learned them and will always hear them that way in my mind. Such a beauty there.

Isn’t Psalm 23 one of the most beautiful poems ever? I love it too. I’m comforted through it almost daily. Thanks for sharing, Betty Jo.

Mic 6:8 He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?

The instructions are so clear and so simple. Righteousness is a beautiful thing!
