Bible verse for today
One verse a day, with a little context and one question to carry.
Today’s verse
Psalm 139:23-24
Search me, God, and know my heart. Try me, and know my thoughts. See if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in the everlasting way.
World English Bible (WEB)
Context
The psalm has spent twenty-two verses on how completely God knows and sees the writer: his thoughts, his words before he says them, the womb he was formed in. A person could find that terrifying. Instead, the psalm ends with an invitation: search me. Knowing you’re already fully seen, the writer decides, is a reason to stop hiding rather than to hide harder.
Why one verse a day
A single verse read slowly does more than a chapter skimmed. The verse changes each day at midnight 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.
