What scripture verse best describes your life?

[Guest]

Mine is; "The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak."

[Vort]

"And Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat Achim; and Achim begat Eliud ;"

[zil]

I'm not sure I want to know which one best describes me, but here's one that describes @MormonGator to a T:

Quote

1 Corinthians 11:14

14 Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?

  ::then gets up and runs away really fast::

Quote

 18 And all saints who remember to keep and do these sayings, walking in obedience to the commandments, shall receive health in their navel and marrow to their bones;

 19 And shall find wisdom and great treasures of knowledge, even hidden treasures;

 20 And shall run and not be weary, and shall walk and not faint.

 21 And I, the Lord, give unto them a promise, that the destroying angel shall pass by them, as the children of Israel, and not slay them. Amen

I realize this may be an odd one to consider as describing my life.  But it does on a number of levels.

1 Nephi 7:12

Quote

 12 Yea, and how is it that ye have forgotten that the Lord is able to do all things according to his will, for the children of men, if it so be that they exercise faith in him? Wherefore, let us be faithful to him.

Proverbs 16:31

"Gray hair is a crown of glory; it is gained in a righteous life."

Proverbs 16:9:  ⁹ A man's heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps.

I've devised to be rich, a lawyer, a politician, a teacher, a missionary, a pastor, and a prison chaplain. I've majored in Elementary Education, History/Political Studies, and Divinity. Every decision and every step, God has directed. What looks haphazard to many is a perfect design to God.

I posted this in another thread but this one actually defines my future life:

A Reading from the Book of Armaments, Chapter 4, Verses 16 to 20:

Then did he raise on high the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch, saying, "Bless this, O Lord, that with it thou mayst blow thine enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy." And the people did rejoice and did feast upon the lambs and toads and tree-sloths and fruit-bats and orangutans and breakfast cereals ... Now did the Lord say, "First thou pullest the Holy Pin. Then thou must count to three. Three shall be the number of the counting and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither shalt thou count two, excepting that thou then proceedeth to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the number of the counting, be reached, then lobbest thou the Holy Hand Grenade in the direction of thine foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it."

Hey, here's one for @NeedleinA:

Matthew 19:24

24 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

Not sure why it's so hard to go through Needle's eye (I mean really, eyes are kinda squishy), but there you have it...

[CV75]

"...lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen."

(P.S. Isaiah 12 also; pretty much the same message.)

2 Nephi 4:17 Nevertheless, notwithstanding the great goodness of the Lord, in showing me his great and marvelous works, my heart exclaimeth: O wretched man that I am! Yea, my heart sorroweth because of my flesh; my soul grieveth because of mine iniquities.

 18 I am encompassed about, because of the temptations and the sins which do so easily beset me.

 19 And when I desire to rejoice, my heart groaneth because of my sins; nevertheless, I know in whom I have trusted.

For me it is the parable of the prodigal son – but I am never sure which son best describes me – sometimes it is the older son and sometimes is it is the prodigal.  Maybe once or twice I have been the father.
