The Verse on the Wall

Thou God seest me.

Genesis 16:13, KJV

Violet Liddle was a remarkable Christian maid who served the likes of Churchill, Eisenhower, Lady Astor, and George Bernard Shaw. Growing up, she came downstairs every day beneath a framed Bible verse on the wall, which read: “Thou God seest me.” As a result, some of her first memories involved knowing that God watched her wherever she was. “Still,” she wrote, “I don’t really regret this introduction to God because it did instill in me an understanding that God is always around us, and I’m glad that over the years I’ve come to recognize that the verse is a promise of God’s loving care.”1

God’s Word was an important part of life for the people of Israel. God gave leaders, kings, and everyone else specific instructions for the ways to remember His words by placing them in places they would see each day. Deuteronomy 6 tells us to write God’s Word “on the doorposts of your house and on your gates”

(verse 9).

Look around you today for places to post Scripture so it stays at the forefront of your mind. A verse on the wall may reside in your children’s minds for decades to come!

Down through the years, I turned to the Bible and found in it all that I needed.

Heb 4:12-13

12 For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. 13 And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are open and laid bare to the eyes of Him with whom we have to do.

Rom 1:16

I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes

Starting the day seeing the Word of God displayed in your home will help your attitude and walk through the rest of the day. Put a special verse to you on a wall, on a shelf, maybe next to your bed. Read God’s Word early in the morning. Talk to God…He is ready to listen and hear your prayers. He is with you every moment!
