If I ...Ok, here I am and with my homework complete. If I am honest, there are about 30 things on my top 10, but here are 10 of them...<BR/><BR/>1. Be still and know that I am God. Psalm 46:10<BR/><BR/>2. You duped me Lord and I let myself be duped. Jer. 20:7<BR/><BR/>3. I do not cease to give thanks for you, as I remember you in my prayers. Ephesians 1:16<BR/><BR/>4. In the beginning was the Word, and the Wrod was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:1<BR/><BR/>5, How is it that you, a Jew ask a drink of me, a woman of Samaria? John 4:9<BR/><BR/>6. For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, a stranger and you welcomed me, naked and you clothed me, ill and you cared for me, in prison and you visited me. Matthew 25:35<BR/><BR/>7. You have been told, O man, what is good, and what the LORD requires of you: Only to do the right and to love goodness, and to walk humbly with your God. Micah 6:8<BR/><BR/>8. Have among yourselves the same attitude that is also yours in Christ Jesus, Who, though he was in the form of God, did not regard equality with God something to be grasped. Rather, he emptied himself, taking the form of a slave, coming in human likeness; and found human in appearance,<BR/>he humbled himself, becoming obedient to death, even death on a cross. Philippians 2:6-8<BR/><BR/>9. You will do well to be attentive to it, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts. 2 Peter 1:19<BR/><BR/>10. He is not here, for he has been raised just as he said.
