Bible Tabs- for ME



#18 in the Bible Marginalia Series


Keep the Faith
Deuteronomy 4:9
Only take heed to yourself, and diligently keep yourself,
lest you forget the things your eyes have seen,
 and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life. 
And teach them to your children and your grandchildren.

So, the reality is.....
 I know where the books of the Bible are....
but have a hard time recalling
 specific verses when I need them.
So this past summer,
 I began the project of adding tabs
 to my Bible that highlight favorite key verses for me.
Key words that bring forward a main idea.
It started without a BIG plan
 on how this would work out.
AND I lOVE IT.

His Mercy-
1 Chronicles 16:34
Oh, Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good!
For His mercy endures forever.

Our Refuge
Psalm 46:1
God is our refuge and strength,
A very present help in trouble.


Unsearchable Things

Jeremiah 33:3
Call to Me, and I will answer you,
 and show you great and might things, 
which you do not know.

Taking the Bible I have been using
 for almost 20 years and continuing
 the journey of my life meeting 
in His Word.

Tools-
 This punch makes the tabs-
used card stock.
This is a McGill file tab punch- 
can't seem to find this very one.
But, here is a similar one-
File Tab Punch

Assorted washi tape makes the thin paper
 a bit more sturdy to add the tabs-
 with the Tim Holtz- tiny attacher.

  1. This is a fantastic idea! Thank you so much for sharing. I have a list of "go to" verses, but would also appreciate seeing the list of all the verses that you tabbed.

    2. I do not have a good tab punch. What do you ladies think about using the Avery adhesive (similar to post-it notes) tabs?
