Verse Clock: Scripture for Every Minute

A fun toy I built over the weekend: Verse Clock.

A reader asked whether you could use my table of chapters, verses, and words to come up with a verse for every minute of the day (e.g., John 3:16 for 3:16pm), so I spent a few hours coding it up and voilà, a verse for every minute (well, 1,355 of them; there are 85 hour-minute combinations that cannot be mapped to a chapter-verse in any book).

If you don’t like the displayed verse, just click “Current Time” again to get a new one, or just wait a minute—it’s a functional clock you can leave open if you want. You can even switch between 12-hour and 24-hour time.

Finally, you get a link to the whole chapter so you can read the verse in context, and if I have chapter notes available for the book, you’ll get a link to them.

This was a fun and quick tool to build; I’m looking forward to the next one.
