Some more “life verses”…
Yesterday I wrote a post in which I suggested some possible life verses. Today I thought I’d do a quick follow-up with a few more…
Lazy Students
Most people choose life verses which are inspiring, which call them forth to greatness and holiness…but what if that’s not what you really want? What about if you’re happy and comfortable with failure and laziness? Well, in that case, this is the life verse for you…
Of making many books there is no end, and much study is a weariness of the flesh.
– Ecclesiastes 12:12
The recently-shaved
I go bearded from time-to-time. After I shave it off, I always think of this passage:
When it was told David, he sent to meet them, for the men were greatly ashamed. And the king said, “Remain at Jericho until your beards have grown, and then return.” – 2 Samuel 10:5
Housemates
I live in a house with three other guys. I’m going to recommend one of them in particular to adopt the following passage as his life verse:
He who blesses his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, it will be counted a curse to him. – Proverbs 27:14
Garlic Lovers
If you overindulge in smelly foods, then this is the life verse for you..
“My breath is offensive to my wife, And I am loathsome to my own brothers. – Job 19:17
