Want to find God’s will for you? Go to the very center of the Bible—literally! 594 chapters from either the front or the back will bring you to Psalm 118:8, and there you’ll find the best advice ever: Go with God! Don’t put your hopes in a politician or a celebrity or a sports star or anyone else for that matter. God alone is eternal and dependable and perfect in all his ways!

Read: Psalm 118 // Focus: Psalm 118:8

This isn’t original with me, but I thought you might find it interesting nonetheless:

The shortest chapter in the Bible is the previous reading—Psalms 117. The longest chapter in the Bible is the one to follow—Psalm 119. Today’s chapter, Psalm 118, is the literal center of the Bible.

There are 594 chapters before Psalm 118 and there are 594 chapters after Psalm 118. If you add these numbers up you get 1188.

What is the center verse in the Bible? None other than Psalms 118:8,

Far better to take refuge in God than trust in people; Far better to take refuge in God than trust in celebrities. (The Message)

Does this verse say something significant about God’s perfect will? Obviously, it does! So the next time someone says they would like to find God’s plan for their life and that they want to be in the center of His will, just send them to the exact middle of His Word, and there they can read for themselves the central point of God’s purpose for mankind:

It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man. (NKJV)

Now isn’t it odd how this worked out, or was God at the center of it?
