30 verses from the Bible for every challenge in life
Jesus relied only on the Word of God to overcome obstacles, including the devil. The Word of God is alive and powerful (Hebrews 4:12), useful for correcting us when we are wrong and teaching us what is right (2 Timothy 3:16). So, it makes sense for us to bring the Word of God into our hearts through memorization, to be ready to face any problem, any difficulty and any challenge that life can send on our way.
