Question
My name is Kristine and I am hoping you can help me. My church is hosting a 3-day Youth Revival and I am assigned to do the welcome on Tuesday night but I am stuck on what scripture or scriptures I can use in my welcome speech. I know Proverbs 22:6. Are there any other good scriptures I can use and do you have any suggestions on how I can start off my speech? I would really appreciate your help. Thank you and God Bless You!

Answer
Hi Kristine,

I am so sorry for my late response.  Here are a few good verses you may use.

2 Chronicles 16:9 (AV)
9 For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. Herein thou hast done foolishly: therefore from henceforth thou shalt have wars.


Hebrews 11:6 (AV)
6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.


Isaiah 40:31 (AV)
31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.


I hope that this helps you.  I am sorry for this late response.

In Christ
Pastor Don
