6. Proverbs 9:11

“Thanks be to God for his inexpressible gift!”
The best gift you could ever get for your birthday is the gift of God and his never-ending love. This birthday Bible verse is a great reminder of that.

10. Psalm 90:12
“So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom.”
As we count down our lives with each birthday that passes, it’s important to remember that we never know which day is our last. Lead with integrity, speak with wisdom, love with all of your heart, and be grateful for every day.
11. Ecclesiastes 11:8
“So if a person lives many years, let him rejoice in them all; but let him remember that the days of darkness will be many. All that comes is vanity.”
A good reminder that reads like a warning. Rejoice In our days, appreciate the good days, and keep your heart pure of vanity. Birthdays are a good time to reflect on wisdom like this.
12. Psalm 139:13-14
“For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well.”
We are reminded of our Creator and how He cares for us. No one knows us like our Lord and this Psalm expresses that so beautifully. We are here because He has knitted us together. We are fearfully and wonderfully made. Happy birthday!
13. Psalm 37:4
“Delight yourself in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart.”
What a great message of hope and encouragement for the birthday guy or gal. God’s blessings are abundant for those who follow Him.
14. Proverbs 9:11
