For every single issue or problem we are faced with in this world, the Bible has answers for it. And the more we know God’s word, the better equipped we are as believers to share, minister, teach and model Christ to other lives.

By writing this I’m not saying one verse is less valuable than any other, the whole Word of God is highly important and essential, but I feel these are a few number of verses every believer should be committed to know, understand, and memorize off head.

    in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.
