Incorporating uplifting scriptures into your day isn’t about religion or dogma. It’s about access to a resource that has comforted humans for thousands of years. It’s a cultural memory that speaks to our deepest need for hope and reassurance.
So next time you feel overwhelmed by the noise, open a verse. Let the old English wash over you. You might just find that the most modern thing you can do is to embrace a little ancient wisdom.
Reflection: The next time you feel your shoulders tense up, take a breath, and whisper, "I am fearfully and wonderfully made." Say it the King James way or your way. It doesn't matter. What matters is that you believe it for a moment—and that moment is enough to shift your entire day.
