My sister-in-law Tami Fitzgerald Harris sent me a challenge [on Facebook] to daily post a favorite scripture for 7 days. I really dislike picking a favorite scripture because I have so many. It's like saying pick your favorite child. I told her I wasn't going to do it, but the last two chapters in 2 Nephi are my favorite.
I've been thinking about this all week and I realized my favorite scriptures are the ones I just read that taught me something new. So, I've decided to put a twist on this challenge. I am going to post my favorite verse from the chapter I am reading in the scriptures that day. Right now in personal study I am in the New Testament. For family scriptures we are in the Book of Mormon. So you will see a mixture in my posts this week. If you feel inclined to join me please do.
Today's favorite verse: John 15:5
"I am the vine, ye are the branches. He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing."
"I am the vine, ye are the branches. He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing."
This reminds me of how many times I have tried to accomplish projects and had lots of road blocks in the way. But, when I seek the Lords will in my life the things I do accomplish are the needful things. Toss the lists out and follow the spirit if we want to get what's important done. In the Lord we can bring forth much fruit.
Day One
