The Verse You Skipped+FollowI skipped Hosea 11. I thought God had given up. Hosea 11 talks about Israel’s repeated failure. Rebellion after rebellion. I almost stopped reading. Then verse 8 stunned me: “I will not carry out my fierce anger; I will not destroy Ephraim.” God’s compassion interrupts judgment. Even when people constantly mess up, God’s heart is still for restoration. This chapter reminded me: failure is not final. Mercy can outlast mistakes. #BibleStudy #TheVerseYouSkipped #Hosea #Mercy #Grace #BibleReflection101Share
The Verse You Skipped+FollowI almost skipped Ruth 1. It felt like loss. Ruth 1 begins with tragedy. Widowhood. Famine. Uncertainty. I almost closed the book. Then verse 16 whispered truth: “Where you go, I will go.” Ruth’s loyalty isn’t flashy. It doesn’t make headlines. It quietly rewrites a future. This chapter reminded me: even in endings, God can plant beginnings. Even in grief, love shows a path forward. #BibleStudy #TheVerseYouSkipped #Ruth #Loyalty #Grace #FaithJourney70Share
The Verse You Skipped+FollowI skipped Numbers 21. I didn’t expect hope in pain. Numbers 21 is all battles and complaints. Snakes bite. People grumble. Death looms. I wanted to scroll past it. Then verse 8 stood out. God tells Moses to make a bronze snake—look up, and live. Even in punishment, there is a pathway to life. Even in frustration, there is hope. This chapter reminded me: when life feels like a bite you can’t escape, God still offers a way to healing. #BibleStudy #TheVerseYouSkipped #Numbers #Hope #Grace #FaithInPain31Share
The Verse You Skipped+FollowI almost skipped Leviticus 19. I thought it was just rules. Leviticus 19 reads like a long to-do list. Don’t steal. Don’t lie. Be holy. So many “don’ts” that my eyes glazed over. Then verse 18 stopped me cold: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” Everything else is context. All the rules point to this one heartbeat. This chapter reminded me that obedience isn’t about perfection. It’s about care, intentionally extended to others. Even in the most overwhelming instructions, God’s heart is simple: love. #BibleStudy #TheVerseYouSkipped #Leviticus #LoveYourNeighbor #Grace #FaithJourney 212Share
The Verse You Skipped+FollowI almost skipped John 21. I didn’t expect a quiet restoration. John 21 feels like an epilogue. The story already ended. Resurrection already happened. I thought it was optional. Then verse 15 changed everything. Jesus doesn’t confront Peter loudly. He asks one simple question—three times. “Do you love me?” No shaming. No replay of failure. Just restoration, gently layered over denial. This chapter reminded me that God doesn’t rush healing. He rebuilds trust slowly—and personally. #BibleStudy #TheVerseYouSkipped #John #Restoration #Grace #GospelReflection421Share
The Verse You Skipped+FollowI skipped Ecclesiastes 4. I didn’t realize it was about loneliness. Ecclesiastes 4 sounds philosophical. Oppression. Labor. Vanity. But verse 8 stopped me cold. A man works endlessly. No family. No companion. No one to share it with. And the question hangs there: “For whom am I toiling?” This chapter isn’t abstract. It’s painfully human. It reminded me that success without connection still feels empty. And God sees that emptiness clearly. #BibleStudy #TheVerseYouSkipped #Ecclesiastes #Loneliness #LifeReflection #ScriptureInsight232Share
The Verse You Skipped+Follow I almost skipped Psalm 73. It asked the question I was afraid to say out loud. Psalm 73 starts dangerously honest. The writer admits envy. Frustration. Doubt. “I almost slipped.” That line hit me hard. This psalm gives voice to something many believers hide: Why do the arrogant seem to thrive while I struggle? And God didn’t censor that question. He included it. This chapter reminded me that faith isn’t pretending everything makes sense. It’s choosing to stay—even when it doesn’t. #BibleStudy #TheVerseYouSkipped #Psalms #HonestFaith #SpiritualStruggle #BibleReflection273Share
The Verse You Skipped+FollowI skipped 2 Kings 13. I didn’t expect God to work through leftovers. 2 Kings 13 feels like decline. A tired king. A dying prophet. No great revival in sight. Then verse 21 shocked me. A dead man touches Elisha’s bones— and comes back to life. Not through a sermon. Not through a prayer. But through what looked like leftovers. This chapter taught me something I needed to hear: God’s power doesn’t expire with age. Even when you feel finished, God may still use what remains. #BibleStudy #TheVerseYouSkipped #Kings #GodsPower #Hope #FaithJourney100Share
The Verse You Skipped+FollowI almost skipped Genesis 36. It felt irrelevant to my life. Genesis 36 is just Esau’s family. Names. Chiefs. Territories. Not the chosen line. Not the promise. I used to think, Why is this even here? Then I noticed something quiet but powerful. God records Esau’s story in full— even though the covenant doesn’t pass through him. This chapter reminded me that being outside the spotlight doesn’t mean being erased. God didn’t forget Esau. And maybe He hasn’t forgotten me, even when my life didn’t turn out the way I expected. #BibleStudy #TheVerseYouSkipped #Genesis #GodSeesYou #Grace #ScriptureReading140Share
The Verse You Skipped+FollowI almost skipped 1 Chronicles 4. One name changed everything. 1 Chronicles 4 looks like pure data. Names stacked on names. No story. No drama. I almost skipped it. Then verse 9 interrupts the list. Jabez is called “more honorable than his brothers.” Not because of success—but because he prayed. And God answered him. In the middle of a genealogy, God pauses to show a personal conversation. This chapter reminded me: God is not just recording history. He’s listening to individuals. Even in the most forgettable lists, someone is being heard. #BibleStudy #TheVerseYouSkipped #Chronicles #Prayer #Grace #ScriptureReading110Share
