ReplyDeleteI did not know so many of these came from the bible!
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed this. Oh I have so many sayings too that I have heard over my lifetime. One of my granny's favorite's was, "If there's a Will then there's a way". Have a good day dear friend. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
ReplyDeleteOh yes! Great post Debbie and I find myself saying "if it's God's will" a lot these days.
ReplyDeleteWow, these were all so good...and straight from God's Word. That is great! I am so glad you shared these with us. Very enlightening to see that they come from scripture.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this post!! Matthew 16:2-3 is one that I say every time there is red in the sky, whether morning or night!
ReplyDeleteLots of things come from the Bible that people say all the time and they don't even know it. : )
ReplyDeleteHere is another one, though not quoted exactly its origin is Bible based. A little birdie told me.
From Ecclesiastes 10:20 - for a bird of the air shall carry the voice, and that which hath wings shall tell the matter.
