Here are three things a life verse helps you do:
1. Speak of your faith more clearly.
A life verse allows you to articulate your faith to those around you. Your family, friends, coworkers and church benefit from the clarity in your life that comes with a life verse. It may seem overwhelming to bring up lots of scripture in a conversation, but a simple life verse opens the door. Your faith becomes more clear as you share your life (and life verse) with others.
2. Speak of your faith more often.
A life verse comes to mind on a regular basis. What is your mission? What is your goal? Why is your hope in the Lord? When trials come, you have something to lean on – God’s Word, not only tucked away in your heart, but right on the tip of your tongue and the forefront of your mind.
3. Speak of your faith more confidently.
A life verse gives confidence to live out your call. Your life is being shaped by the story your tell yourself. Too often, with far too many folks, the story in our hearts and heads is one of low confidence. Allow powerful scripture to become your story – let it shape your confidence.
