I want to get scripture more deeply inside me and I know we can do that by meditating throughout the day on key scriptures.
I have gone through this writing today and have selected various scriptures today that are especially meaningful to me at this point in time. I have grouped those scriptures together. And have sent them by email to myself so when I open my email throughout that day, those scriptures will be there and this will give me more opportunity to think of those scripture and do them.
You might want to make your own list of scriptures that stands out to you as you read today's writings. That makes them so personal to your needs.

(My List)
* Psalm 78:72 So HE fed them according to the integrity of HIS heart; and guided them by the skilfulness of HIS hands.
*****
* Proverbs 2:2 Incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding.
* Colossians 4
(Turning to God constantly, asking God to give you wisdom in what you say and in what you do toward those without the church)
17 Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfil it.

II Thessalonians 2 (NASB)
3-4 Let no one in any way deceive you, for it (the day of the Lord) will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God.
And you know what restrains him now, so that in his time he will be revealed. For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only he who now restrains will do so until he is taken out of the way.
Then that lawless one will be revealed whom the Lord will slay with the breath of His mouth and bring to an end by the appearance of His coming;
And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

* Hebrews 11 By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.

Deuteronomy 7 ... But thus shall ye deal with them; ye shall destroy their altars, and break down their images, and cut down their groves, and burn their graven images with fire. For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto HIMSELF, above all people that are upon the face of the earth.
Deuteronomy 7 ... The graven images of their gods shall ye burn with fire: thou shalt not desire the silver or gold that is on them, nor take it unto thee, lest thou be snared therein: for it is an abomination to the LORD thy God. Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thine house, lest thou be a cursed thing like it: but thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it is a cursed thing.
Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:
Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators: Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world.
But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat. For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within? But them that are without God judgeth.
Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.
(It does not say to pray for them ... It does not say to counsel them ... It says to put them away from you and do not "eat" with them.)

I Corinthians 5
It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you,
and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles,
that one should have his father’s wife.
And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you.
For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, concerning him that hath so done this deed,
In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.
Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?
And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you.

Scriptures give to me today to encourage me to continue in the work to which God has called me.
Colossians 4:17 Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfil it.
I Corinthians 9:24-27 Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.
And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.
I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:
But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.
Must keep running until you cross finish line. If you quit before you reach the finish line and drop out of the race, all is lost. Must finish the race.
