"A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver." -Proverbs 25:11How it works:
Each Monday I ask a thought provoking question about life. Pose the same question to your blog readers on your own blog along with your answer to the question. Then come back here and post a comment with a link to your blog post so we can all read everyone’s answers! It’s been a lot of fun getting to know my readers and their readers and so on and so on…
This week’s question:
What is your favorite or signature scripture and why?
JoJo’s Answer:
Since studying speech communication, I have found literally hundreds of scriptures that talk about communication skills, but my signature verse has become Proverbs 25:11.
” A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.”
I love it because it reminds me that each word we choose to use is precious and has a particular meaning. It reminds me that the words we use are important not only for our formal speeches or our debates but for every day sharing with others.

Well, I have to give two:-)
Luke 1:37 “With God, nothing is impossible.”
Jer.29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans to prosper you, not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
These verses are important to me because they give hope, and hope is SO important.
Hi JoJo! My verse is:
“…that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God.” Philippians 1:9-11
This is what my entire and website ministry (http://www.homemaking911.com) is all about.
I LOVE Laurie’s as well, it is one of my favorites for my personal life.
Have a great week!

I also have several.
The 1st is II Cor 12:9 “And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness.”
2nd Joshua 24:15 “……choose you this day whom you will serve:….but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”
I John 5:13 “These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the son of God”
Psalm 119! I love the entire passage…A couple years ago I was extremely blessed by a Bible study I did with Psalm 119 and Charles Spurgeon’s Treasury of David commentary. It truly was life changing!
[...] more active once the convention is over…in the mean time I found this fun discussion link on Jo Jo Tabares’ blog… Take a moment and share your favorite Scripture. I have included mine at the bottom of [...]
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding;
In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall direct your paths.”
Proverbs 3:5,6
I have always loved these verses – my favorites!!
How precious that you all came to share your favorite scriptures with me and my readers. Thanks so much for posting!
One of my favorite Scriptures is Joel 2:25 because HE did it for me. Joel 2:25 And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.
Blessings, Phyllis
My favorite verse is Matthew 10:19-20, which says: “But when they arrest you, do not worry about what to say or how to say it. At that time you will be given what to say, for it will not be you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.”
This is my favorite verse because almost everyone is afraid when they are witnessing and a lot of the time it is because you are afraid you are going to say the wrong words.
