GREETINGS
I hope you know what a treasure youre holding in your hands! I was very excited to work on this project with my mom after being touched by her previous book, Scriptures at Your Fingertips. I was amazed at how I could hear Gods voice speaking to me through the topics and how I was led to the perfect verses at the exact moment I needed them. I hope youll find truth, wisdom, comfort, encouragement, and advice in these pages. Most of all, I pray you will hear the Lord speaking directly to you and sense His presence leading you to the pages He wants you to see.
Youll find verses from both the Old and New Testaments, so remember to consider who is speaking in the verse, to whom the writer is speaking, and what was occurring at that time period. The Bible version used is abbreviated at the beginning of each verse and may vary slightly from other editions of that version (online editions or updated editions). A list of abbreviations can be found on Bible Versions.
It was hard cutting down the number of entries and length of each verse, but the good news is this is just the beginning! All of these verses are straight from the Bible, so if youre hungry for more or are looking for additional insight on a verse or topic, grab your Bible, dive right in, and read the whole chapter for yourself. These scriptures may be ages old, but they still hold just as much life and power today as always.
Much Love,
Tiffany
