Being centered

2 Timothy 2:15  (ESV)

 Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.

I was going through some of my past Bible study notes and came across this.  The Lord knew I really needed this today.

Q: What is the shortest chapter in the Bible?

A: Psalms 117

Q: What is the longest chapter in the Bible?

A: Psalms 119

Q: Which chapter is in the center of the Bible?

A: Psalms 118

Fact: There are 594 chapters before Psalms 118

Fact: There are 594 chapters after Psalms 118

Add these numbers up and you get 1188.

Q: What is the center verse in the Bible?

A: Psalms 118:8 

Q: Does this verse say something significant about God's perfect will for our lives? 

The next time someone says they would like to find God's perfect will for their lives and that they want to be in the center of His will, just send them to the center of His Word!

Psalms 118:8

"It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man."

Now isn't that odd how this worked out (or was God in the center of it)?

When things get tough, always remember...

Faith doesn't get you around trouble, it gets you through it !!

Dear Lord, thank You for Your Word. We ask that You would give us each the strength to stay centered in Your Word. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
