With the rise of social media, there are even more outlets to share the word of Christ. I see a lot of posts on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter of Bible verses, inspirational thoughts, and even testimonies. I want to talk a little about Bible verses. I love coming across new verses! It is truly amazing that this one book has everything I need for life. A few months ago I decided that every time I come across a Bible verse, I will read the whole chapter that the verse comes from.
Well, I did this yesterday and I was truly moved. The verse is Philippians 4:13. One of the most popular Bible verses; it states, "I can do ALL things through Christ, who strengthens me." I love this verse, but what comes before it is even more powerful!

"11 I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. 12 I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want." Philippians 4: 11 & 12 NIV
Reading the chapter of a verse I discover puts things in perspective for me. Sometimes there is a story leading up to a verse or even guidelines on how to live out that particular verse. Whenever you stumble upon a verse I challenge you to look up the whole chapter and dive into the word. Just remember, there is always more to it!
