January is moving along and we have come to the letter Q. Choices might seem easier this week as the letter Q has a shorter quantity of words in our Concordances! Enjoy your search and thank you very much for sharing your verse or verses in the comments here and I’ll add them to this post as soon as I can.
Q is for Quarrelsome:
Proverbs 21:9 (ESV)
It is better to live in a corner of the housetop than in a house shared with a quarrelsome wife.
From Cheryl: Q is for Quicken:
“Quicken me after thy lovingkindness; so shall I keep the testimony of thy mouth” Psalms 119:88
From Vera:
Q is for QUALITIES:
“For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, and virtue with knowledge, and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with steadfastness, and steadfastness with godliness, and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love. For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they keep you from being ineffective or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. For whoever lacks these qualities is so nearsighted that he is blind, having forgotten that he was cleansed from his former sins.”
2 Peter 1:5-9 ESV

Her word is quieted with some inspirational thoughts, too.
From Maristella:
Q is for QUIET:
“The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside *quiet* waters.”
Psalm 23:1-2
And
“Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and *quiet* spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight.”
1 Peter 3:3-4
From Happyone:
Q is for Quench:
Ephesians 6:16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to QUENCH all the fiery darts of the wicked.
From Patsystitch:
Q is for Quarrelsome:
2 Timothy 2:24
And the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone, able to teach, patiently enduring evil,
…Q is always a difficult letter.
I’ve missed a few weeks of this challenge . . . and I come back to “Q”?!
I found this one . . . “Quicken me after thy lovingkindness; so shall I keep the testimony of thy mouth” Psalms 119:88
You were quick in finding this great verse, Cheryl. 🙂
Q is for QUALITIES
“For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, and virtue with knowledge, and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with steadfastness, and steadfastness with godliness, and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love. For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they keep you from being ineffective or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. For whoever lacks these qualities is so nearsighted that he is blind, having forgotten that he was cleansed from his former sins.”
2 Peter 1:5-9 ESV

You all came up with some great variety of verses for the tougher letter Q! Thank you so much for joining in!
I keep thinking of quarantine – but no verse for that! =) … other than to think of John writing the book of Revelation “because of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus.”
Zephaniah 3:17 says that God “will quiet us with His love.”
