How do you rate God's word? 6/5, obviously.
Everyone should read the Bible cover to cover at least once in their life.

5⭐️ My first time reading the Bible from beginning to end! (12/31/2024). The set up of this Bible made it so easy to do- with daily readings split up for every day of the year. Each day includes a reading from the Old Testament, New Testament, and something from either Proverbs or Psalms. It wasn’t until the second half of the year that I started to keep track of the verses that jumped out at me, so as I restart the process tomorrow, I will hopefully be adding more of my favorite verses to this list! 🤍
Ezekiel 11:19-20
I will give them an undivided heart and put a new spirit in them; I will remove from them their heart of stone and give them a heart of flesh. Then they will follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws. They will be my people, and I will be their God.
Hebrews 12:11
No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.
Daniel 9:18
We do not make requests of you, because we are righteous, but because of your great mercy.
Zechariah 1:14
Then the angel who was speaking to me said, “Proclaim this word: This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘I am very jealous for Jerusalem and Zion, but I am very angry with the nations that feel secure. I was only a little angry, but they added to the calamity.’”
(I love God’s sense of humor here!! 😂😂)

O righteous God, who searches minds and hearts, bring to an end the violence of the wicked and make the righteous secure.
Mark 11: 22–25
“Have faith in God,” Jesus answered. “I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. And when you stand, praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive your sins.”
2 Corinthians 4:17-18
For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

He tends his flock like a shepherd: He gathers the lambs in his arms and carries them close to his heart; he gently leads those that have young.

Take with you seven pairs of every kind of clean animal, a male and its mate, and one pair of every kind of unclean animal, a male and its mate, and also seven pairs of every kind of bird, male and female, to keep their various kinds alive throughout the earth.
(I am mind blown right now because I have always been taught Noah took two kinds of every animal. This is the first time I noticed that God told him to take seven pairs of every kind of clean animal and bird. I don’t know how I’ve never noticed this before?!)
Psalm 5:11-12
But let all who take refuge in you be glad; let them ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may rejoice in you. For surely, O Lord, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as with a shield.

Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him; do not fret when men succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes. Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret —it leads only to evil. For evil men will be cut off, but those who hope in the Lord will inherit the land.

Deuteronomy 11:18–21
Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands, and find them on your foreheads.

My Father will honor the one who serves me.

Romans 9:18-21
Therefore God has mercy on whom he wants to have mercy, and he hardens whom he wants to harden. One of you will say to me: “Then why does God still blame us? For who resists his will?“ But who are you, O man, to talk back to God? “Shall what is formed say to him who formed it, ‘Why did you make me like this?’” Does not the potter have the right to make out of the same lump of clay some pottery for noble purposes and some for
