The Center Of God's Word

This one seems to have made its rounds through e-mail. I have even once read a devotional that mentioned it. Last week, it popped up again on my screen e-mailed to me by a thoughtful friend. So, I thought I'd be thoughtful to all you out there and feature it here. Here's how it goes.

Q: What is the shortest chapter in the Bible?
A: Psalm 117

Q: What is the longest chapter in the Bible?
A: Psalm 119

Q: Which chapter is in the center of the Bible?
A: Psalm 118

Fact: There are 594 chapters before Psalm 118
Fact: There are 594 chapters after Psalm 118

Add these numbers up and you get 1188

Q: What is the center verse in the Bible?
A: Psalm 118:8

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

Psalm 118:8 (NKJV)
"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)?

My thoughtful friend capped the message with the following encouraging reminder. I thought I would encourage you with it, too:

When things get tough, always remember...
Faith doesn't get you around trouble, it gets you through it!

God Bless You
