My 2009 ANTHEM!!!
Happy New Year!!! I have taken the week off from work and other commitments in my life, and I almost forgot TODAY was January 1st. The Davis Family had a wonderful relaxing New Year's Eve, and it was so nice just to spend time together. We also decided not to face the long lines at restaurants, and we ended up staying in and playing hours of our new favorite game MARIO CART........HA!!!!
This year I have signed up to be part of a Christian Group whose main focus is Scripture Memorization. We are memorizing 2 scriptures per month, and by the end of the year we will have learned 24 scriptures!!! I chose Isaiah 41:10:
NIV - "So do not fear, for I am with you. Do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will uphold you with my righteous hand."
However, I was uncertain the exact terminology for "dismayed", so I kept searching deeper and came up with these translations:
Message - "Don't Panic. I'm with you. There is no need to fear for I am your God. I'll give you strength. I'll help you. I'll hold you steady, keep a firm grip on you."
CEV (Contemporary English Version) - "Don't be afraid. I am with you. Don't tremble in fear, I am your God. I will make you strong, as I protect you with my arm and give you the victories."
The reasons I chose this verse is the fact that I have struggled with the Spirit of Fear for a long time. And as I have prayed to my precious Jesus, he has given me the anointing to overcome this Spirit of Fear. I have been reading over verses that speak against the Fear, and this was one verse that truly gives me the PEACE OF GOD.
If you are doing the same and memorizing scriptures I would love to hear from you, and learn what God is doing in your life.
In His Delivering & Healing Name,
Kim

Hey Girl,
We have some things in common beside our first name :) The struggle with fear has been one of my biggest strongholds in my life, but as I press in and strive to get to know God more through prayer and His Word this year I feel like He will help me be free from fear.
I too am doing the LPM scripture memory challenge.
Blessings sweet one, and I want the Wii Fit too :)
