Our Father God fills the whole uni-Verse! So, as we read God’s Word in the Bible, little glimpses of God’s actions and character frequently comes to us in mini-verse or poetic thought.
Consider, for example, the biblical thoughts in this batch of mini-verse:
God’s Word spoke the world.
He said, “Let!” and it happened –
nothing left to chance.
…
Abba, Father, God
speak Your Word to our spirit.
“Let” Your mind fill ours.
…
Light comes in beauty –
sunrise, sunset, and the glow
of Christ within us.
Often, too, Bible verses lend themselves to haiku, senryu, or other forms of mini-verse. Consider, for example, these Bible-based poems:
Psalm 4:8
In peace I will lie
down and sleep for God alone
lets me safely rest.
Psalm 5:3
In the morning, Lord,
I will present my prayer.
Then I’ll be watching.
Psalm 93
God wears majesty
like a garment and strength like
a steel shield – stainless.
Psalm 96:12
Let the fields and all
that’s in them celebrate! Let
the trees sing for joy.
Psalm 103:1
Bless the Lord, my soul,
and all that is within me
bless His Holy Name.
Isaiah 40:26
Lift up high your eyes.
See Who created the stars!
God calls each by name.
Isaiah 40:8
Grass withers. Flowers
fade, but the Word of our God
remains forever.
John 1:14
God’s Word became One
Who dwelt among us – Jesus –
filled with grace and truth.
John 1:20
Behold God’s Son Who
takes away sin in the world.
Pray we all let Him!
Matthew 7:7
Ask with your lips. Seek
with your eyes. Knock, then listen.
Our senses find God!
