One of my New Year's Resoultions, is to memorize scripture. Currently I am working on a passage that I love. Ask me about it sometime. Ask me how I am doing in scripture memorization. There is power in having the word of God hidden in your heart.
"Here is my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen one in whom I delight, I will put my Spirit on him, and he will bring justice to the nations. He will not shout or cry out, or raise his voice in the streets. A bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out. In faithfulness he will bring forth justice; he will not falter or be discouraged till he establishes justice on earth. In his teaching the islands will put there hope." This is what the Lord says- he who created the heavens and stretched them out, who spread out the earth and all that springs from it, who gives breath to its people, and life to those who walk on it: "I the Lord, have called you in righteousness; I will take hold of your hand. I will keep you and will make you to be a covenant for the people and a light for the Gentiles, to open the eyes that are blind, to free captives from prison and to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness. I am the Lord! That is my name! I will not yield my glory to another or my praise to idols. See, the former things have taken place, and new things I declare; before they spring into being I announce them to you." Isaiah 42:1-9

I copied and pasted your blog address and here I am. I will ask the Holy Spirit to remind me to pray for the students at Albion College and for you as you challenge them to study God's word, pray and evangelize. Kind of what we were challenged with in church this morning, right? It was good to see you there. Arlona
