Weekend Reflection ... PSALM 118


Psalm 117 is the shortest chapter in the Bible.
Psalm 119 is the longest chapter in the Bible.
Psalm 118 is in the precise center of the Bible ... there are 594 chapters before Psalm 118 and there are 594 chapters after Psalm 118.
Add 594 + 594 and you have the number 1188.
Literally, the CENTER verse in the Bible is Psalm 118:8
What does Psalm 118:8 say? ... "It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in man."

"There are no coincidences in life - especially when it comes to the Holy Word ... I think this passage makes one stop and think, a great deal about who should be in the center of our lives. It is also mind-boggling to remember that the 66 books of the Bible were written by 40 completely separate authors and span 1,600 years! Yet every book goes together perfectly ... coincidence?"
