Birth Verse

I received the following link in an email this week. I thought it was pretty cool and wanted to share. Apparently, "they" (whoever created this website) came up with a verse for each day of the year. You can insert your birth day and month and it will show your "birth verse."

From the website:

You are a child of God, His treasured possession. He created you in His own image. He chose the day for you to be born. He has a plan and a purpose for your life...

BIRTHVERSE consists of 366 verses chosen from the 66 books of the Bible. Each verse correlates the chapter and verse with its month and day.

Try yours and see what verse appears for your birthday! It is also fun to put in the birthday of your family and friends to see what their verses are.

Cool Passage

I came across this on the September 17 devotion in Streams in the Desert which is a daily devotional book.

1 Samuel 3:18 “It is the Lord: let Him do what seemeth Him good.”

Nothing else but seeing God in everything will make us loving and patient with those who annoy and trouble us. They will be to us then only instruments for accomplishing His tender and wise purposes towards us, and we shall even find ourselves at last inwardly thanking them for the blessings they bring us. Nothing else will completely put an end to all murmuring or rebelling thoughts. – H.W. Smith

This reminds me of the verses in James 1:2-4. "Consider it pure joy, my brothers, when you face trials of many kinds because you know that the testing of your faith develops perserverance. Perserverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything."
