Your Verse Here

If you were asked what your favorite Bible verse is, what would you say?

Back in August, Donald Trump, who was defending his Christianity, stated in front of reporters, that the Bible was his favorite book. The follow-up question was, “What is your favorite Bible verse?”

Trump deflected the question and said that it was personal and he wouldn’t share that information. Of course, a firestorm was created about whether or not Trump was truly a Christian or whether he truly knew his Bible.

Politics aside, the entire fiasco really got me to thinking. If I were standing in front of a group of reporters and I were asked my favorite Bible verse, would I have an answer? Would you?

While it’s true, that God sees our heart; the world sees our actions. Like it or not, at the moment, Christians are kind of walking around with invisible targets on our heads, that the unbelievers love to take aim at. We often give them ammunition.

We know we are supposed to read the Bible. We know it’s God’s Word. Yet, we so often don’t read it or know what it says.

Trump later followed up by saying that he liked Proverbs 24. Since it’s one of the Books of Wisdom, Proverbs is always a wise choice for leaders.

Yesterday, I pondered the question, if you had to be buried in a t-shirt with a few words that summed up your life, what would they be?

One of my readers commented, that her son’s youth group leader challenged  them to pick out a verse that they would wear on a t-shirt, and then they all got shirts with the verse. I absolutely love that idea.

Knowing scripture is part of the Armor of God. We are supposed to use it to keep ourselves spiritually safe.

So, here’s my challenge for you. What’s your favorite Bible verse? If you know, I’d love for you to share it in the comments. If you don’t, I encourage you to spend some time and find one. There are so many amazing ones to choose from.

Mine is, “For nothing is impossible with God.” Luke 1:37

I can’t wait to hear yours.

Have an awesome day!
