I believe every Christian should have a life verse from the Bible.
Why?
Well the first reason is because it means you’re in the Bible looking at it.
Second because it’s taking God’s Word and matching it with what’s important to you in life. It’s a scripture that has touched you more than any other you have read. It’s had such an impact, that you want to share it and say, hey, this verse has changed my life.
My life verse is Matthew 7:7-8. I know, you’re saying, Pat that’s two verses. To get the full effect of what it means it’s good to add verse 8.
Matthew 7:7-8 – 7“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.
Why is this verse my life verse? Because I found out that if you want to know God and the Truth, He will give it to you.
If you don’t seek, you won’t find. This world is full of people that are only seeking what’s best for them.
If you knock, He’s right there ready for you. It’s like, come on in, I have been waiting your whole life for you.
If you ask it will be given to you. What will be given to you? Your wants and your desires? Not unless they are of God. God isn’t going to be responsible for giving you anything that pushes you further away from Him, trust me. Your needs? Absolutely! However, your thoughts on what your needs are compared to what they really are, probably aren’t the same thing.
Here’s what I found out. When you go to God and say, “I want to know You, I want to know Truth, I don’t want my agenda, I want Yours!”
At that time, this verse tells all.
So what’s your life’s verse?
Share it with me if you have one. If not, begin your search and enjoy God’s Word!
