The middle of the bible

I watched this cool video about the middle of the bible.  I guess the shortest verse in the bible is Psalm 117 and the longest is Psalm 119 and there is 594 in front of Psalm 117 and 594 behind Psalm 119 so that makes Psalm 118 the middle of the bible and the exact middle is Psalm 118:8 which if you add 594+594 it equals 1188.  And what does the exact middle of the bible say?  It says:

Psalm 118:8King James Version (KJV)

It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man.

What do we as Christians say all the time?  We want to put everything in the Lord and not walk among the pettiness that is here on earth.  So if the exact middle of the bible says it is better to trust the Lord, what other message does anyone need?  I need to keep telling myself this and let God handle it.  God will not keep me out of trouble but he will get me through it.  Through God I can do anything and life will be full of peace.  If I wake up and remind myself every morning that I will get through whatever is thrown at me with a smile knowing God has my back everyday might just be that much more enjoyable.

Have a blessed day
