Top verse search

I started wondering last night about which verse in the Bible is highest in web searches. I suspected John 3:16 would top the list. This morning I decided to do some searching of my own and see.

This year presented a few changes. The top spot was taken by Isaiah 41:10 pushing the perennial favourite John 3:16 into second place. Third was taken by Jeremiah 29:11.

Seems wonderful choices to me. There is speculation that people are fearful, whether it is the pandemic or the response to the pandemic, or the economic failures, or any number of reasons. As a result, Isaiah 41:10 has risen to the top for 2020.

I will not speculate too much; I’ll just share the top three verse and you can see what people all over the world are finding online.

1. Isaiah 41: 10   So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
2. John 3:16  For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
3. Jeremiah 29:11    For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
