INTRODUCTION
Much like a verse of the day that other sites give (Bible Gateway, You Version, Blue Letter Bible, etc.) Time For Providence will differ by giving a mystery of the day. A mystery for investigation to solve scripture takes long hours and odd times. I prepare the mystery using a Thompson chain-reference bible—you need one in your library. The awesome thing about this practice is utilizing the chain-reference for learning how all the points of scripture are interwoven and connected.
This is your fellow SI (Scriptural Investigator) speaking: this post includes affiliate links. If you click and purchase I hope to receive a small commission at no extra cost to you. I recommend resources relevant to mystery and the gospel work of faith.
The time and resources you invest into this practice will not return void or unfruitful, but will cause to reap what is sown the eternal reward. In addition to your chain-reference bible, a couple important items you should have for success in solving the mysteries are a journal and pen; Scriptural Investigator’s notate the details otherwise missed by the untrained, conducting interviews with biblical names (Jesus, Moses and the prophet Elijah, even Enoch or the archangel Michael) and the Church.
Document all relevant information, think outside the perspective of your evidence board. Pull out your laptop or device, have your bible, get a journal and pen, invite a neighbor or detain a gospel believer, because below is a scripture crime you need to investigate and solve!
CRIME SCENE
The Scripture below is our lead in the investigation. What can we learn from it?
- Hebrews 13:5-6
Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you. So we can confidently say, “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear; what can man do to me?”” [ESV]
If you have a chain-reference bible, the topics below are clues.

THE MYSTERY
You will experience greater reward with little responsibility in the fear of the Lord than having to play politics with trouble by having great treasure.
Comment the Scripture that solves this mystery? [book chapter : verse/s].
JOURNAL
It’s important for me to start small, and I think I’ve achieved that by my little 618sqft condo. The question is whether I’m achieving this in the fear of the Lord or not. I would judge that I am with room for improvement. I see where and I need to improve, the next phase is planning, then implementation. The goal, as far as I can tell, is maintaining fear of the Lord while climbing the ranks of success to managing great treasure without the trouble.
Hi, my name is Nathan R. Dooley, and if you’re interested in mystery, philosophy, psychology and criminal justice genres, like me, then I’m excited to have brought you this MYSTERY OF THE DAY where you will experience the verse of the day in a way like Sherlock Homes experiences a case that needs solving. There is a hope and a plan to expand this project, but just like Sherlock Holmes needed Dr. Watson, this project will need resources that provide video content as the next addition to this service, with more idea-plans uh brewing. (Lord willing).
