Welcome to a year in the Bible with daily grace.

From even to eternity, the Bible tells one big story of redemption.

My name is Tiffany, and I want to spend a few minutes with you every day walking through the Bible chronologically.

Together, we will explore God's sovereign plan as the events of Scripture unfold and point to Jesus.

Hey, you're in the Bible family. Tiffany here. Welcome back. Not only to our chronological journey, but our journey through the Proverbs.

Solomon has thrown a lot of wisdom at us the past few days.

Hopefully, as you read, you were able to pick out some of the themes we've already discussed, like laziness and the tongue.

Proverbs 20 23 says, differing weights are detestable to the Lord, and dishonest scales are unfair.
