Why Daily Bible Verses?
The Bible verse of the day is like a sandwich you get on your way out to work or to start your day. God’s Word is food to the human spirit and soul. The entry point of the Word from the Bible to the human heart(spirit) is the mind, therefore, keeping God’s Word in your mind is crucial. The scriptures say
Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.1 (Isa. 26:3 KJV)
My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments: (Prov. 3:1 KJV)
The first step to keeping the Word in your heart is keeping it in your mind. When the Word is on your mind all day, it can be compared to a cloud that continuously pours the rain of God’s life into your heart and body! Having a daily bible verse greatly facilitates this process.
