These are some more random thoughts of mine.
A lot of Christians talk about their "life verse." I've never really gotten that--not like I have a problem with it, I've just never thought of myself having one. It's one of those "Christianese" things that seems a bit weird to me.
However, there is one passage that I might be able to point to as my favorite. Job 38, particularly the first few verses, but generally 38-42. What might be my favorite few verses in the Bible:
It's probably the most devastatingly humbling passage in the Bible, IMO, but I love it. So then God goes on two chapters like this, and then in chapter 40 Job basically says, "I am nothing; how can I even respond?" But God isn't done, and gets right back to interrogating him.
So maybe that is my "life verse;" I don't know. It seems a bit funny that my life verse would be a passage where God sarcastically says, in essence, "Man up and teach me: where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth?"
