Birthday Bible Verses

A birthday is a good day to remember that every life is a gift from God. The psalmist praised God for making him fearfully and wonderfully made, and said that all his days were written in God’s book before one of them came to be. These birthday Bible verses gather blessings and promises that fit a card, a text message or a toast at the party. Numbers offers the ancient blessing, “The LORD bless thee, and keep thee.” Psalm 90 asks God to teach us to number our days, and Psalm 118 rejoices in the day the LORD has made. Jeremiah 29:11 speaks of a future and a hope, and Proverbs promises that wisdom brings length of days. There are verses here for a child’s first birthday, for a friend turning thirty, and for a grandparent celebrating ninety years of God’s faithfulness. Choose one that fits the person you love, and pray it over them as you celebrate.
