Bible Paragraph Summary - Thessalonians

 Give instruction to a wise person and he will become still wiser; teach a righteous person and he will increase his insight.  Proverbs 9:9



 My NAS Bible has chapter summary headings--sometimes more than one in the chapter--as you can see in the picture above of the books of Thessalonians.  See the words in the bolded font?  Apparently not all Bibles have this and since I've used the NAS all of my life, I never knew (or really realized) that some Bibles don't have these headings!  I like getting a sort of preview of what is going to happen in the words that follow.  I suppose these are included at the discretion of the translator and publisher.

I decided to type these out for every Bible book and chapter so I could easily reference where a particular story or topic was instead of spending a long time searching through the pages for a name or topic to jump out at me.  And what if I am not near a computer or can't whip out my phone to look it up?  (I guess that's the Old School #BibleNerd in me!)  For instance, I wanted to know where the story of Zaccheus was in the Gospels.  I can quickly and easily look through these listings and find that the story of Zaccheus is found in Luke 19.  Success!  And that didn't take long at all.

I've included these sheets in my A5 Bible Reference Binder and I actually have them in a few of my Bible binders so that no matter where I am, I will have access to the information.  I decided to share this information for you, dear reader, in case you are interested in something like this!  It IS #FridayFreebie, after all.  So look for these posts every Friday for a while; I will post the New Testament first then post the Old Testament.  Look for "Friday Freebie" or "Paragraph Summary" in the labels/tags.  Feel free to copy and format them how you will use them.  I think that any Bible study information should not cost anything to anyone and would appreciate you sharing about this content and about my blog with anyone you know would appreciate what is found here.]

August 2022 Daily Scripture Writing



Here is the Daily Scripture Writing plan for August 2022 that I curated.  Many of the verses that speak to the fear of God are found in Proverbs.  

Do you have an actual fear of the Almighty Creator of the Universe?  Do you have a reverence for the majesty and holiness of the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob?

I hope that you are confronted and amazed with the bigness and glory of God as you write out and study these verses this month.
