About Scripture Clock

A unique way to experience God's Word throughout your day, with a meaningful Bible verse for every minute.

Our Mission

Scripture Clock isn't just about telling time—it's about helping you center every moment on God's Word.

It's a gentle invitation to pause, reflect, and remember God's Word throughout your day. This web-based clock turns each minute into a moment of worship by displaying Bible verses that match the time—like John 3:16 at 3:16 or Romans 12:2 at 12:02.

Instead of simply checking the time, you'll find yourself encountering God's Word—verse by verse, moment by moment. It turns your daily rhythm into an opportunity for prayer, meditation, and spiritual growth.

"There is a Scripture verse for every minute of your day."

Some verses may seem short or appear out of context—but each one is a spark, reminding you that "all Scripture is breathed out by God" (2 Timothy 3:16–17). Every verse points to a greater story, a deeper truth, or a timeless promise.

To help you understand the full context, Scripture Clock includes an AI-powered feature: simply click on a verse to explore its deeper meaning, including:

  • Historical Context – When and why the passage was written
  • Cultural Insights – Background on the original audience and customs
  • Practical Application – How it speaks to your life today
  • Cross-References – Related verses throughout the Bible

As Deuteronomy 6:7–9 says:

"You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates."

Scripture Clock is another way to help us live out this calling—keeping God's Word constantly before us, every minute of the day.

How You Can Use Scripture Clock

One of the best things about the web version of Scripture Clock is how easy it is to use with what you already have. Got an old tablet or phone sitting in a drawer? You can turn it into a simple digital clock that shows Bible verses throughout the day.

Just open the Scripture Clock page in a browser, and you're set. You can place the device:

  • in a small frame on your desk or shelf
  • on the wall in your room or kitchen
  • next to your bed or in your quiet time spot

It's a simple way to keep God's Word in front of you—without distractions or apps. Just time and Scripture, minute by minute.

How Scripture Clock Works

1Time Conversion

The current time is converted to a chapter:verse format. For example, 3:16 PM becomes chapter 3, verse 16.

2Smart Search

Our algorithm searches across all Bible books for verses matching that time, prioritizing meaningful passages.

3Instant Display

The verse appears beautifully formatted with its reference, ready for reading and reflection.

4Fallback Content

When no verse exists for a specific time, we display interesting facts about Bible books instead.

Frequently Asked Questions

How are verses selected for each time?

We use a smart algorithm that searches through all Bible books, prioritizing well-known verses for common times (like John 3:16 for 3:16), then searches systematically through all available books for less common times.

Why do some times show book information instead of verses?

Some chapter:verse combinations don't exist in the Bible (like Mark 3:49, since Mark 3 only has 35 verses). When this happens, we display interesting facts about Bible books instead.

Can I suggest new translations?

We're always interested in adding more translations! Contact us with suggestions for public domain or freely available Bible translations in any language.

How accurate is the AI commentary?

The AI commentary is designed to provide helpful context and insights, but it should supplement, not replace, traditional Bible study methods, commentaries, and pastoral guidance.
