Thought for the day on the verse of the day
Something I'm doing as an experiment is writing a 'thought for the day' on Bible Gateway's 'verse of the day'. This arose out of trying to think through ways of helping busy people – I had in mind especially business people on the train to work first thing in the morning – read the Bible more often.
For a lot of these people, my guess is a 'verse a day' is going to be about the appropriate quantity. I think this explains the popularity of many series of Bible-reading notes. Typically, however, these notes don't really do much with the Bible text, which simply becomes a 'blessed thought' on which to hang a heart-warming anecdote or a 'motivating' message.
What I'm trying to do is writing something brief and interesting, but actually biblical and meaty enough to do the job.
