The Bible Encouragement Game

Have you ever played one of those “Bible trivia” games that can be found in Christian book stores? I have always been uncomfortable with the term Bible trivia since there is nothing trivial about the Scriptures. So, in an attempt to come up with a better idea, about 30 years ago I created my own Bible game called, “Bible Encouragement.” I came up with 200 questions and answers. The answer to each question was designed to encourage you on your walk with the Lord. In addition, in my game we don’t keep score, instead we just have a great time in fellowshipping around the answer to each question.

Below you will find 10 of my actual questions. The answers will be at the end of this devotion. See how many questions you can answer correctly. But more importantly I pray each question and answer will encourage you as you walk with the Lord.

Question 1 – In which book of the Bible can we find this beautiful verse: “Thou will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on Thee, because he trusteth in Thee.”

Question 2 – Which one of these is not a fruit of the Spirit: Love, peace, gentleness, joy, happiness, self-control, goodness.

Question 3 – In which book of the Bible can we read that we are, “fearfully and wonderfully made.”

Question 4 – How do even the rivers and mountains praise the Lord in (Psalm 98):

Question 5 – What does the Bible tell us in (Ephesians 6) we will be able to do if we take up the shield of faith:

Question 6 – Who tells us to, “consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.”

Question 7 – In which book of the Bible can this beautiful verse be found: “Do not fear, for I am with you; Do not be afraid, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, I will also help you, I will also uphold you with My righteous right hand.”

Question 8 – Complete this verse: “From the rising of the sun to its setting, the name of the Lord is to be ______.”

Question 9 – In which book of the Bible does God say: “…He is also the mediator of a better covenant, which has been enacted on better promises.”
