Out-of-context Bible verses as student problems

Rachel Beaver

When the assignment says “at least two pages” but you’re out of ideas..

Galatians 6:11: “See what large letters I use as I write to you with my own hand!”

When your roommate wakes you before your alarm goes off…

Proverbs 27:14: “He who blesses his friend with a loud voice early in the morning, it will be reckoned a curse to him.”

When you went for a Taco Bell run, and you’re late for class…

2 Kings 9:20: “The lookout reported, ‘He has reached them, but he isn't coming back either. The driving is like that of Jehu son of Nimshi--he drives like a madman.’"

When someone cute talks to you for the very first time..

Song of Solomon 2:5: “Strengthen me with raisins, refresh me with apples, for I am faint with love.”

When you’re taking a test and you regret not paying attention in class…

Proverbs 28:9: “If anyone turns a deaf ear to my instruction even their prayers are detestable.”

When the professor calls on you to answer a question in an 8 a.m. class...

Luke 22:60: “Peter replied, ‘Man, I don’t know what you’re talking about!’ just as he was speaking, the rooster crowed.”
