Bible verse for today
One verse a day, the same for everyone, with a little context and one question to carry.
Today’s verse
Psalm 23:1
Yahweh is my shepherd: I shall lack nothing.
World English Bible (WEB)
Context
Psalm 23 begins with trust rather than circumstances. David’s confidence isn’t that life will contain no hardship; the rest of the psalm walks straight through a dark valley and sits down at a table surrounded by enemies. His confidence is in who is leading him through it. “I shall lack nothing” is a statement about the shepherd’s care, made by someone who had done that job and knew what it involved.
Why one verse a day
A single verse read slowly does more than a chapter skimmed. The verse changes at midnight UTC and rotates through a curated set, so it isn’t random and it isn’t tied to your mood. If today’s doesn’t fit, find one that does.
