Today as we start digging into our 31 days<\/a> of Bible Quotes<\/a>, let’s start with, “Why do Bible quotes<\/strong> matter? Who are we to God? And why does His Word matter in my life?”<\/em> \u00a0Those are all good questions and if we’re not really sure of who we are<\/em> in God and who He is<\/em> to us, then our Bible reading, our time spent in His Word is not going to make much difference in our lives.<\/p>\n

Bible Quotes: How Does God Feel About Me?<\/h2>\n

First, who are we to God<\/em> and in God?<\/em> Well I’m glad you asked! \u00a0I have a really pretty printable of Bible quotes<\/a> for you explaining it. (CLICK HERE for your free printable, My Heavenly Father<\/a>) \u00a0I have one of these printables hanging in my bathroom; I also have a copy taped to the mirror in the bathroom my children and guests use.<\/p>\n

Ever wondered how God feels about you? \u00a0Well, He guards you as the apple of His eye, He takes pleasure in you, He loves you and sings over you. \u00a0God walks with you, covers you with His favor, blesses you, and will never abandon you. \u00a0He created you in His image, provides for you, loves you forever and holds your right hand. \u00a0God chose you, loves you, knows your ways, has you engraved on the palms of His hands, carries you, and accepts you.<\/p>\n

So now that we know we are important to God let’s talk a little bit about why<\/em>\u00a0spend time in His Word. Quoting from one of my favorite books, Called to Life by Jacques Philippe<\/a>,\u00a0he says, “When read in faith, it makes God Himself present in our lives and communicates Him to our hearts. \u00a0If we allow the words of Scripture to fill our thoughts and enter our hearts, God becomes present. \u00a0For God dwells in His Word.”<\/p>\n

We read scripture to spend time with God, to make Him present in our lives and bring Him into our hearts.<\/a><\/div>\n

Another quote from Called to Life<\/a>, “Not a day should pass for us without spending at least a few minutes reading Scripture.” \u00a0A few minutes?<\/em> \u00a0We can totally do that right? \u00a0 And here’s another good reason why according to Jacques Philippe, “It may seem pointless at times, but if we persevere with simplicity and prayer, Scripture will enter deeply into our memories, without even being aware. And when we need it, in a difficult moment, a verse will rise to consciousness. And it will be exactly the word that brings hope and peace.”<\/p>\n

I mentioned in a post on Bible journaling<\/a>, one time my seven year son reciting Psalm 23 to daddy was the perfect word for my husband at that time. \u00a0He was struggling with his job and likened it to walking through the shadow of death. \u00a0Without even being aware, as the author states<\/a>, it was the Word that brought my husband hope and peace. \u00a0Of course we could have encouraged him on our own, but to hear from his little boy that God was walking with him was powerful!<\/p>\n

Bible quotes<\/strong> matter because God is the Word of life. \u00a0All the assurance and encouragement in the world cannot compare to the life giving quality of God’s Word.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“Scripture has a remarkable power to speak profoundly and personally to us, to respond to the exact here and now need for light, encouragement, and even conversion lodged deep in our hearts. \u00a0Those moments when a Scripture verse, until then not especially meaningful, suddenly blazes out with a message that corresponds to our present situation testify to the faithfulness and tenderness of the Lord.”
