Did you know?

That Psalm 118 is the middle chapter of the entire Bible?
That before Psalm 118, Psalm 117 is the shortest chapter in the Bible?
That after Psalm 118, Psalm 119 is the longest chapter in the Bible?
That there are 594 chapters both before and following Psalm 118?
That if you add up all the chapters except Psalm 118, you get a total of 1188 chapters.
And that, incidentally, 1188 (or Psalm 118:8) also happens to be the middle verse in the entire Bible?

We would think, therefore, that the central verse in the Bible should have a significant message for us... and indeed it does!

"It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man". Psalm 118:8*
