David's Daily Devotion for July 11

July 11, 2022 - Good Morning! It’s Monday, July 11.

What’s the middle verse of the Bible? Well, that depends on which translation you use. Did you realize that there are variations in chapters and verses between the different versions of the Word? The King James Version (good enough for Jesus, good enough for me!) has 31,102 verses. Since this is an even number, there is no center verse. But the center pair of verses is Psalm 103:1-2.

“Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless His holy name! Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits.”

Chapters and verses, of course, weren’t arranged until many centuries after the Bible was written. So, there’s no particular spiritual significance to the position of this passage. But, perhaps, there is meaning in the fact that, at the "center" of the Word, there is a passage of praise.

Let us make praise a priority. Let us put praise at the center of our hearts.

Meet you back here tomorrow,
Bro. David
