And that being said, I've never felt that way about the bible.
The bible has always been great, of course! But lately I've been noticing how freaking beautiful it is. Not only does God share His Word, but His word also happens to be composed in such a magnificent way that it puts any work of F. Scott Fitzgerald to utter shame.
Because it's not just a story. Not only is the word of God beautiful but it is REAL.
Recently on my Instagram stories, I've been sharing the verses that stand out to me. The bible is beautiful as is, but when you pull out individual verses it really highlights the poetic quality and how thoughtful and intentional every. single. word. is.
I use the YouVersion app, highlight the verse that stands out to me, then take a screenshot. After that, I open Instagram and upload the photo to the stories. From there, I just use white pen tool to cover over the surrounding verses and any other text on the screen. And I always use the NKJ version!
No matter where you are on your spiritual journey, I hope you too can enjoy how utterly perfect the bible is, even on a stylistic level.
Man, God really knew what He was doing, huh?
Can I just say, I follow you on Instagram, and I absolutely LOVE seeing these verses pop up in your story from time to time! It so encouraging, and such a great reminder of how beautiful God's word is.
