I want to get scripture more deeply inside me and I know we can do that by meditating throughout the day on key scriptures.
You can put scriptures into an email to yourself so when you open your email throughout that day, those scriptures will be there and this will give you more opportunity to think on those scripture and do them.

Many Promises of God for The NT Church
Lk. 21:33 ... Jesus says ... Heaven and earth shall pass away: but MY words shall not pass away.
When we really understand God will destroy this current heaven and earth, surely we will be less fixed on this heaven and earth which God will destroy.
But that which God says by HIS Spirit, the Word, will not pass away. It will be forever, through all eternity. A very good investment. Like a field with great treasure which a man sells everything he has in order to obtain that field with all that treasure.

Psa. 1:1-3 ... Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
Why would we, who are of God, put our trust in the ungodly and what they say ... Why would we go in the "way" of sinners, doing what they do on this earth, thinking them important of our admiration ... and why would we want to be around scornful people who look down on others and think themselves to be more righteous than others?
I want to be around the godly person ... that person who settles problems with God ... who trusts in God, not in me ...
I know it is the Word God gives me that is life and power and the way for me to go on this present earth.
I "fear" God ... knowing that if I choose to go in a way other than that shown me by God by HIS Spirit I risk everything, whereas I have a sure thing each time I go in the way God shows me, by HIS Word.
No matter what it looks like, I know God is right and HIS way is right and the way for me to go avoiding all other ways.

Mt. 6 ... Jesus says ... Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment. Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and HIS righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
To take a job for money ... to seek after jobs because you can get more money ... is the way of this world and is a very foolish way to go.
Instead learn to seek a job where you have a true interest in that type of work ... Pray, of course, for God to lead you to that job ... Get out of debt. Stay out of debt. Learn to live this way ... Many mistakes and sorrows take place when we allow ourselves to be controlled by money... Sales in stores feed the greedy ... Do not let money rule you. Jesus says we cannot serve God and money.
Concerning tomorrow and thoughts of tomorrow, learn to STOP and take each thought of what might happen tomorrow to God in prayer. Lay out before God all fears and doubts about tomorrow.
Basically we pray over tomorrow and act upon that which we are shown to do today.
If you dread something that is sign to you to stop and pray, discussing what you have planned with God or discussing the dread with God.
During April and part of May, 2018, men who said they were ministers were writing me from all parts of the world daily. Mostly they wanted me to come to their countries at my own expense and teach. Or they wanted me to send Bible for they had told the people they would give everyone a Bible when they did not have the money to do this. Or they wanted money for one of their other works.
These emails became a strife to me and a burden. And I knew that which they were doing was evil though it had the appearance of good.
I began praying: "God help me! ... God help me! ... God help me."
One day, I was printing II Peter 2 and the following stood out to me.
7-9 (God) delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked:
(For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;)
The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:
Immediately I knew to remove my e-mail address from our blog.
That was the way God had of delivering me from these evil "ministers".
It makes it easy for them to beg from me by email but having just a mailing address requires them to spend their money to try to reach me.
Since I removed the email address, I've heard from none of them. And I no longer dread turning on my computer to see emails.
My heart is free!
