Not long ago, a friend of mine truly dedicated her life to the Lord. She had been saved for a while, but now came the time for her to live what she professed to believe.
Not being too familiar with the Bible, my friend asked the Lord for a Bible that she could understand easily and that would explain things to her simply.
A few days later, the Lord graciously blessed her through a friend of hers. That friend, led by God, gave my friend the NLT version of the Life Application Study Bible. She was thrilled and enjoyed it immensely! We were so happy for her.
Being students of the Word ourselves, I asked God for my own Life Application Study Bible, specifically a New International Version. I wanted a blue Bible because I think they are so pretty. Regular price for my request is anywhere from $60-$80.
Not long after the simple prayer, we were in one of our favorite shops. They have several used books there. Up on one of the book shelves was a near-new NIV Life Application Study Bible, navy blue. It had only a few small markings outlining a few verses. The price tag? $6.00--10% or less of the original price. :)"...yet ye have not, because ye ask not."
James 4:2
