A friend of mine is starting a game tomorrow. The game will not end at the end of the day, week, or month. It will not end for quite some time. It is a simple game, with basically no rules. It is played via text messaging; it is a 'quiz' game. It is a game of relatively few words and basically no action - until we put the game to use and apply it to our lives.
You see, one person texts another a verse from the Bible, or half a verse. It is then up to the receiver to respond by saying where in the Bible the verse is, or the second part of the verse. We're not to use a Bible to look up the verse. You can have a couple guesses. But if, in the end, we don't know it, then we don't know it - and so we tell the initial sender that we give up. They will then proceed to let us know what the 'answer' is.
I'm really excited to start this. I think that we will often find that the verses which are sent will be verses that will truly help us throughout the day. They will be verses that we are needing to hear. I mean, we could all use a little encouragement throughout the day, right? I think God will really be able to work through this game. And it will be really beneficial, hopefully, in getting Scriptures into our minds and hearts continually. We should be doing our best to know God's word inside and out. This is one more way to let it be so.
'All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.'
[2 Timothy 3:16-17]
