The Verse You Skipped+FollowI skipped Lamentations 3. I thought it was just grief. Lamentations 3 is long. Heavy. Emotionally draining. I almost couldn’t stay with it. Then verse 32 surprised me. “Though he brings grief, he will show compassion.” Pain and mercy in the same sentence. This chapter reminded me that suffering doesn’t mean God disappeared. Compassion can exist without immediate relief. Sometimes hope is not a feeling. It’s a sentence you hold onto. #BibleStudy #TheVerseYouSkipped #Lamentations #Hope #FaithInGrief #ScriptureComfort632Share
The Verse You Skipped+FollowI almost skipped 1 Kings 19. I thought Elijah was strong enough. 1 Kings 19 comes after victory. Fire from heaven. Public triumph. I didn’t expect collapse next. Then verse 4 broke the image. Elijah asks to die. Exhaustion doesn’t cancel calling. Burnout doesn’t mean failure. This chapter reminded me that even strong faith gets tired. And God doesn’t shame weakness. He feeds it. He lets it rest. #BibleStudy #TheVerseYouSkipped #Kings #Burnout #GodsCare #FaithJourney70Share
The Verse You Skipped+FollowI skipped Deuteronomy 31. I didn’t realize it was about being replaced. Deuteronomy 31 feels like transition paperwork. Leadership changes. Moses steps aside. Joshua steps in. I read it quickly. Then verse 6 stayed with me. “Be strong and courageous.” That command wasn’t for the new leader. It was for the people losing the old one. This chapter reminded me that change isn’t only hard for those stepping up. It’s painful for those being left behind. And God speaks courage into both sides. #BibleStudy #TheVerseYouSkipped #Deuteronomy #Change #FaithInTransition #ScriptureReading355Share
The Verse You Skipped+FollowI almost skipped Genesis 47. I didn’t expect God to show up in survival mode. Genesis 47 feels economic. Food shortages. Land exchanges. People just trying to survive. It didn’t feel spiritual. Then verse 25 caught me. After everything is taken, the people say, “You have saved our lives.” Not a miracle story. Not a dramatic rescue. Just provision that keeps people going. This chapter reminded me that God doesn’t only work in breakthroughs. Sometimes He works in survival. And staying alive is not a lack of faith. It’s grace, quietly doing its job. #BibleStudy #TheVerseYouSkipped #Genesis #GodsProvision #Grace #FaithJourney373Share
The Verse You Skipped+FollowI almost skipped Acts 6. I thought it was just church management. Acts 6 sounds administrative. Complaints. Distribution. Appointments. I assumed it was background noise. Then verse 7 quietly surprised me. The word of God spread, and the number of disciples increased. Because a real need was addressed. This chapter reminded me that spiritual growth and practical care aren’t separate. God cares about daily fairness too. Even small, unseen service can make space for the gospel to move. #BibleStudy #TheVerseYouSkipped #Acts #Serving #ChurchLife #FaithInAction122Share
The Verse You Skipped+FollowI skipped Psalm 102. It felt too heavy for me. Psalm 102 is written by someone worn down. Strength fading. Days slipping away. Loneliness everywhere. I didn’t want to sit with that. Then verse 27 stood firm: “You remain the same, and your years will never end.” The psalmist is changing. Weakening. Aging. God is not. This chapter reminded me that even as my body and energy shift, God’s faithfulness does not. #BibleStudy #TheVerseYouSkipped #Psalms #Aging #Hope #ScriptureComfort463Share
The Verse You Skipped+FollowI almost skipped 2 Chronicles 30. I didn’t expect God to welcome them anyway. 2 Chronicles 30 is about a delayed Passover. People aren’t ready. They aren’t clean. They didn’t do it “right.” I thought it would be a lesson in failure. Then verse 20 changed everything. The Lord heard Hezekiah and healed the people. God honored their direction, not their perfection. This chapter reminded me that showing up late is still showing up. And God responds to sincere hearts. #BibleStudy #TheVerseYouSkipped #Chronicles #Grace #GodsMercy #FaithReflection152Share
The Verse You Skipped+FollowI skipped 1 Samuel 12. I didn’t think farewell speeches mattered. 1 Samuel 12 feels like a wrap-up. Samuel is old. The story seems to move on without him. I almost did the same. Then verse 23 quietly broke my heart. “As for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the Lord by failing to pray for you.” Even after being replaced, Samuel keeps praying. This chapter reminded me that faithfulness doesn’t end when your role changes. Obedience can continue even when recognition fades. #BibleStudy #TheVerseYouSkipped #Samuel #Faithfulness #Prayer #BibleInsight131Share
The Verse You Skipped+FollowI almost skipped Exodus 17. I was tired of complaining stories. Exodus 17 sounds familiar. People complain again. No water. No trust. Same pattern as before. I almost skimmed it. Then verse 7 stayed with me. The place is named Massah and Meribah because the people asked, “Is the Lord among us or not?” That question felt uncomfortably modern. This chapter reminded me that doubt doesn’t always come from rebellion. Sometimes it comes from exhaustion. And God didn’t walk away. He still brought water. #BibleStudy #TheVerseYouSkipped #Exodus #Doubt #FaithJourney #ScriptureReading90Share
The Verse You Skipped+FollowI almost skipped Luke 10. It looked like rules for helpers. Luke 10 begins with instructions for the seventy. Where to go. What to carry. I thought it was just logistical. Then verse 27 hit me: “Love the Lord your God… love your neighbor as yourself.” Everything else is practical, but the heart is relational. God doesn’t just want workers; He wants hearts aligned with love. This chapter reminded me: service without love is empty. Even in instructions, God teaches heart transformation. #BibleStudy #TheVerseYouSkipped #Luke #Love #FaithInAction #Grace100Share
