One of the greatest gifts I have received last month (on my birthday) was a message from a close workmate re: how to determine my life's bible verse.
She got so excited to share and even handed me her Youth Bible (Contemporary English Version) for me to check my life's verse. According to Jessa, we can find our Life's verse in the Book of Proverbs.
Contemporary English Version
Before we begin, I would like to note that it is so helpful that she refers her Bible reading using the Contemporary English Version (CEV). According to my research, CEV is an accurate translation of the original manuscripts (no paraphrasing involved) published around 1995. The text in CEV are easily understandable and readable by grade schoolers, those who prefer contemporized form, and those second language readers - must be understood by all.

Book of Proverbs
The Book of Proverbs is explained in Proverbs 1:1-7
1 The proverbs of Solomon son of David, king of Israel: 2 for gaining wisdom and instruction; for understanding words of insight; 3 for receiving instruction in prudent behavior, doing what is right and just and fair; 4 for giving prudence to those who are simple,knowledge and discretion to the young— 5 let the wise listen and add to their learning, and let the discerning get guidance— 6 for understanding proverbs and parables, the sayings and riddles of the wise. 7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

Below are the steps to check yours!
- Open your Bible and go to the Book of Proverbs
- The Chapter of your life's verse will start on your Birth month
(Jan- 1, Feb-2, March-3, and so on...) - Your Verse will be the birth-date of the month
For Example: January 20 - Proverbs 1:20, February 9 - Proverbs 2:9, June 10 - Proverbs 6:10 - It won't end there! The Book of Proverbs has 31 Chapters.
If you were born in January, add 1 to check your 2nd bible verse and continue throughout all 31 Chapters - Proverbs 1:20 to Proverbs 31:20
If you were born in February (let's say for example Feb 16), add 2 and check your 2nd life's verse and so on. (Proverbs 2:16, Proverbs 4:16, Proverbs 6:16....)
My Life's Verse - January 20
I was so touched to read all of these on my birthday. Since I was born in January, I'll get to have all Chapters. Today is the 26th of the month and my reading for today's life verse is from Proverbs 1:26 (Please see photo above)
Below are some of my life's verse that I really admire :)
Proverbs 2:20 Follow the example
of good people and live an honest life.
Proverbs 4:20 My child, listen carefully
to everything I say.
Proverbs 6:20 My child, listen carefully
to everything I say.Obey the teaching
of your parents
Proverbs 8:20 I always do what is right
Proverbs 10:20 The words of a good person
are like pure silver,
but the thoughts
of an evil person
are almost worthless.
