my “go to” Scriptures (the mouth)
I have some key Scriptures that have influenced and shaped my life. I call them my “go to” Scriptures. These are Scriptures I reflect on regularly. Every night before I go to bed I pull these Scriptures out and take a few moments to think about them.
I will update these Scriptures often on my blog.
I have spent some time putting them into categories. Here are my “go to” Scriptures on the mouth.
