In honor of my 31st birthday, August 9th, I thought I’d dive into a few blog entries that use 31 as it’s theme. As the blog title implies, this particular entry will be 31 bible verses that I want to share with my readers. Though I may eventually do a blog post on themed verses, this entry is simply a selection of some of my favorites.
If you haven’t seen my previous 31 post, you can check that out here: 31 Prayer Prompts
