Memory Verse for Week of Feb. 23

Yesterday in our Sunday worship service we heard the inspiring testimony of Leroy and Cindy Metzger and Mercy, a girl from Malawi. Leroy and Cindy left Kauai three years ago and went to Malawi where they met Mercy. As a young child, Mercy fell into a fire and suffered burns to her face. Infection set in so that she lost all the muscles in her lower jaw as well as some of the bone structure. Leroy and Cindy brought her to the States where she received medical care and reconstructive surgery and consequently, a new smile. She is aptly named Mercy because her life shows the incredible mercy of God in both spiritual and physical healing.
This week’s verse reminds us of that mercy and how it is available to us every day. God bless you as you continue to hide His Word in your heart.

This Week’s Verse for the week of Feb. 23

22 Through the LORD’s mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not. 23 They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness. Lamentations 3:22-23

This Week’s Passage

This is the last week to work on this passage. There will be a new one next week.

1 Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

2 through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

3 And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance;

4 and perseverance, character; and character, hope.

5 Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
6 For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.

7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die.

8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

9 Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.

10 For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.

11 And not only that, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation. Romans 5:1-11
