The Word of God is living and powerful. — Hebrews 4:12
Which of the 31,173 verses in the Bible is your favorite? And do you think that verse can make a difference in someone’s life?
God has used certain verses to make a remarkable impact on the world. For example, the author of Pilgrim’s Progress,
John Bunyan, touched the lives of thousands by preaching from John
6:37, “All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who
comes to Me I will by no means cast out.”
Noted reformer Martin Luther greatly influenced the course
of church history because of his understanding of Romans 1:17, “The
just shall live by faith.” And missionary pioneer William Carey
introduced the gospel to India after being touched by the words of Isaiah 54:2, “Enlarge the place of your tent.”
As a young person about to embark on my first overseas missionary
venture, I was moved, challenged, and comforted by Jeremiah 33:3. God
used this verse to remind me to call on Him because He had “great and
mighty” things in store for me.
Maybe a specific verse from Scripture has touched your heart in a
special way. Share that truth with others — because God’s Word will
always have an impact.— Dave Branon
May the Word of God dwell richly
In my heart from hour to hour,
So that all may see I triumph
Only through His power. — Wilkinson
