Android: About the Verse of the Day Process

Updated 1 month ago by Zizoh Anto

Verse of the Day has a different Bible verse for every day of the year. YouVersion’s staff chooses a verse that will encourage, inspire, or challenge you.

No Verse of the Day is ever selected to coincide with or correlate to news, nor to express or imply any philosophical, theological, or political position on current events.

On the contrary:

To provide a year’s worth of images for Verse of the Day — in multiple languages—we must plan, design, and create each one far in advance of when we intend to release it. Near the end of each year, a small team plans out the entire Verse of the Day calendar for the next year. They choose a different Bible verse for each day.

In the next few months, our graphic designers will finish the many images needed for each Verse of the Day (one for each language we provide). These images will be put into a database. Then, based on the preset schedule, every day at midnight, in each timezone, that day’s Verse of the Day automatically uploads to a server cache. Once that’s happened in the first time zone, there’s no way for us to change or cancel that day’s Verse of the Day — because we can’t “pull back” Verse of the Day images from devices that have already downloaded them.

Once again, the purpose of the Verse of the Day is never to comment on current events.

At YouVersion, we believe that pursuing intimacy with God has the power to transform your life. We choose every Verse of the Day carefully to encourage, inspire, or challenge you to continue seeking God every day.
