Q: What is the center verse in the Bible?
A: Psalms 118:8
Q: Does this verse say something significant about God's perfect will for our lives?
The next time someone says they would like to find
God's perfect will for their lives and that they want to
be in the center of His will, just send them to the
center of His Word!
Psalms 118:8
"It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man."
Now isn't that odd how this worked out (or was God in the center of it)?
When things get tough, always remember...
Faith doesn't get you around trouble, it gets you through it !!
God Bless You!
When her sick puke of a homocidal husband goes to meet the divine Judge, she will be there as witness to what he did to her. There is no escaping THAT justice.
Thank you immensely for post #1779. I had heard Psalm 118:8 was dead center in the Bible, but I could never find the details. I have it marked in my favorite Bible, and directily next to it is this:
v. 22 The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner. [I always wondered who exactly the builders were. I was reading Ezek. 8 the other day, about the 70 elders of the House of Israel and the others. The cross-references took me to Exekiel 11:1 -2 , through Ezek. 14, I guess. One of the names I checked in the concordance had a reference to builder. Strong's #1141 Benaiah = Jah has built, with one of the root words meaning build.]
I have made copies of your post, and placed one in my Bible. Many thanks!
I think it remarkable that you posted this at this time, and also the comment about the failed legal system (judges), because IMO this is exactly what this is all about. God is trying to get our attention. I think a lot of people here know it, but I wonder how many others out there do? I wrote a long post on it the other day, hoping to wake up some lurkers, and debated about posting it until my computer crashed and I lost it. This is an abbreviated one. I guess we all know we need to be pouring out our hearts to God, in addition to making all those phone calls, emails, etc.
1Sa 8:10 And Samuel told all the words of the LORD unto the people that asked of him a king.
1Sa 8:11 And he said, This will be the manner of the king that shall reign over you: .......
1Sa 8:19 Nevertheless the people refused to obey the voice of Samuel; and they said, Nay; but we will have a king over us;
1Sa 8:20 That we also may be like all the nations; and that our king may judge us, and go out before us, and fight our battles.
1Sa 8:21 And Samuel heard all the words of the people, and he rehearsed them in the ears of the LORD.
1Sa 8:22 And the LORD said to Samuel, Hearken unto their voice, and make them a king. And Samuel said unto the men of Israel, Go ye every man unto his city.

Deu 32:20 And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end [shall be]: for they [are] a very froward generation, children in whom [is] no faith.

Fast-forward to the present:
Mic 4:9 Now why dost thou cry out aloud? [is there] no king in thee? is thy counsellor perished? for pangs have taken thee as a woman in travail.

I'm praying for this and deliverance for Terri:
Deu 32:36 For the LORD shall judge his people, and repent himself for his servants, when he seeth that [their] power is gone, and [there is] none shut up, or left.

[anytime now, Lord!]
Hbr 10:30 For we know him that hath said, Vengeance [belongeth] unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.
Psa 96:13 Before the LORD: for he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth: he shall judge the world with righteousness, and the people with his truth.
I have felt from the beginning that God has used Terri as a rallying point. The eyes of the whole world are upon her. She is one special lady. I'm praying that God will save Terri, and of course He will be glorified in the process.
