Joshua 1:8-9 is the Bible verse that University of Florida star quarterback Tim Tebow has selected for this week's game against South Carolina.
Tebow, a deeply religious man, selects a different Bible verse to wear on his eye black every week. That verse then inevitably becomes one of the trendiest search terms on Google.
More and more players have started writing Bible verses on their eye black of late, following Tebow's lead. They also put logos and other messages on the eye black.
But it's Tebow's verse of the week that draws most of the interest on the Internet.
Here is the meaning of Joshua 1:8-9, according to BibleGateway.com:
8 Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. 9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go."
