Here's my story behind this verse. Every summer I go to a christian kamp called kanakuk. In 2008 I went to K-west which is the junior high kamp. When you arrive you receive a devotional book (or a divo book as we call them) that you use for the two weeks that you are there. Every day you wake up and go to breakfast and then come back to your kabin and have your quite time. Well each day you have a different bible verse to go along with the lesson you study in during your divo that you study. You use that verse ALL day long. You have to memorize it and recite at all of your activities. Up until this point my favorite bible verse was Psalm 100 which was the first bible verse I ever learned. When I opened up my devotional and read the sermon with this verse at the bottom of the page as our bible verse for the day, I fell in love with it. This applies to my life in so many ways. It really keeps me out of trouble for the most part. Every time I think about going somewhere that is questionable or whatever I just think of this verse and it helps me to follow the path the lord wants me to follow.
I made this bracelet this past year at kamp and there is rarely a day that I go without wearing it. It is my daily reminder to keep my eyes on God and not the worldly things that surround me.
