On June 25, 2011, I met an elderly man in the village of Nabukalu, Uganda.
He had the kindest eyes and asked me if I was a Christian. When I responded yes, he asked if I was born again. I smiled and again responded yes, and he then smiled and nodded his head.
We stood for a few seconds just smiling at each other. I then asked him if he knew Jesus. With bright eyes and a big smile he assured me he definitely knew Jesus. I pulled my Bible from my bag and handed it to him. Without hesitation he flipped to Psalm 50:15 and shared his life verse.
"Call on Me in a day of trouble; I will rescue you, and you will honor Me."
Psalm 50:15 Holman Christian Standard Bible
I am overwhelmed by what God taught me and how He blessed me in Uganda. And I am thankful that God placed an elderly man in my path to share Psalm 50:15. It's my memory verse...
I would love to hear your Scripture...what is God saying to you?
Love,
Karen

And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

He humbled you, causing you to hunger and then feeding you with manna,
which neither you nor your ancestors had known,
to teach you that man does not live on bread alone but
on every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:1 NASB
2 Peter 1:5-7 NIV
For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love.
