7 Bible Verses That Bless Bloggers

Are there bible verses for bloggers? You bet there are! The bible is full of wisdom and encouragement for everything a blogger does, day in and day out. I, for one, want my work to align with God’s work, whether I’m blogging about style, entertaining, travel or anything else! How about you? If you want a dose of encouragement from the Lord regarding your commitment to — and passion for — blogging, then read these seven bible verses that bless bloggers… words of the very first Creator!

“The Lord directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives. Though they may stumble, they will never fall, for the Lord holds them by the hand.”  Psalm 37:23-24

“Work with enthusiasm, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people.” Ephesians 6:7

God calls us all to live with purpose. This includes how we spend our days and what we write, regardless of the topic. Can you write about a recipe or DIY project and be blogging with purpose? Of course! We can blog to inspire, encourage, teach and bless others, regardless of topic. The Lord says he will direct our paths (our purpose and our plans), and that he delights in every detail  (our passions!) of our lives. How awesome is that?  Writing with purpose starts with your seeking the Lord’s plans for your life’s work. This means remembering the why behind what you do, and it takes single-minded focus on a daily basis. The world of blogging and social media is filled with bunny trails going off in every direction imaginable. It’s so easy to get distracted, and focusing on my ultimate purpose keeps me heading down the path God has placed before me.

“For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.” Ephesians 2:10

God is the original creator, and he has given you his gift of creativity to share with others! As a blogger myself, I know that some days my mind is bursting with ideas for my blog. Other days I feel doubtful and stuck. That’s when I turn to his words about me and creativity. I love that he calls me his masterpiece. He created me to do good things with the unique gifts he gave Andrea. I don’t need to feel the pressure to be as creative as some other bloggers I follow. I just need to create what he gives me and how he leads me. And when I feel stuck? I can rest assured that the great Creator will give me the creativity I need for the day. 

“God has given each of you a gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts.  Use them well to serve one another… Do it with all the strength and energy God supplies.  Then everything you do will bring glory to God through Jesus Christ.” 1 Peter 4:10, 11

“So encourage each other and build each other up, just as you are already doing.”
1 Thessalonians 5:11

Every woman needs encouragement, and I believe the Lord has called me and you to be encouragers! Think of it this way… When you write about a project or recipe, you just might be encouraging a woman who is insecure about her creativity or her ability to cook. When you write about style, you may offer solutions to a mom who doesn’t have time to think about what to wear to an event next week. When you write about a travel experience, you may offer hope to a couple with young children… that they, too, will enter a stage of life that involves adventure or leisure.
Since starting my blog in August of 2014, I’ve been so pleasantly surprised at the encouragement I receive from other bloggers! I return, I try to take time daily to comment on and share the posts of other bloggers who bless and inspire me. Let’s cheer each other on in this journey!

“But the wisdom that comes from God is first of all pure, then peaceful, gentle, and easy to please. This wisdom is always ready to help those who are troubled and to do good for others. It is always fair and honest. People who work for peace in a peaceful way plant a good crop of right-living.” James 3:17-18

“If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you.” James 1:5

I yearn for God’s wisdom in everything I do. The verses above remind me why it’s critical for me to do this daily. I don’t want to rely on my own wisdom… no, I want the Lord’s! I love that his wisdom is peaceful, gentile and easy to please. Such a contrast to how I feel when I try to rely on my own wisdom! The same is true with the sentence that follows that one. How awesome that his wisdom is always ready to help the troubled and do good for others! If I take a hard look at myself, I have to admit that this doesn’t describe me when I’m stressed and allowing busy-ness to rule my life. How about you? Here’s the coolest thing. The Lord describes the characteristics of his wisdom, and then he tells us just how to get it. Does it involve working more hours? Reading more books? Listening to the current whims of society? Nope. All you and I need to do is ask our generous God, and he is willing to grant it. How awesome is THAT?!!! Knowing that he tells me the kind of wisdom he offers and how to get it takes so much pressure off of me. It gives me freedom to create and to write. That’s the wisdom I want!
