3 In Bible Study/ Faith

From The Heart Scripture Writing Plan || October

One of my favorite ways to read and study God’s Word has been to hand copy Scripture. I have been copying Scripture for about 3 years now and it, along with Bible Journaling, has completely changed the way I read and study the Bible. The only day I don’t write down Scripture is Sunday. My daughters have even taken to it, which is a beautiful thing.

Writing down Scripture makes the words come to life in a powerful way. As a busy mom, I know I can be distracted by a million things when I read. It takes more concentration to write something down, right? Writing down God’s Word helps you engage another sense, so you are able to remember what you read more easily, and meditate on it throughout the day.

In Deuteronomy 17, verses 18-20, Moses speaks:

“Also it shall be, when he sits on the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write for himself a copy of this law in a book, from the one before the priests, the Levites. And it shall be with him, and he shall read it all the days of his life, that he may learn to fear the Lord his God and be careful to observe all the words of this law and these statutes, that his heart may not be lifted above his brethren, that he may not turn aside from the commandment to the right hand or to the left, and that he may prolong his days in his kingdom, he and his children in the midst of Israel.”

 

 

 

The FROM THE HEART study is released each month, Lord willing, and is a topical study.

During the month of October, we will be reading and writing about OBEDIENCE. This topic can be a tough one, ladies! We know we ought to obey, and we want to obey, but sometimes it just isn’t that simple. If you have read the book of Joshua, you may recall the story where one man took the possessions that belonged to the Lord when they invaded Jericho. This one sin caused a whole lot of trouble for the Israelites, didn’t it? The lack of obedience from one person caused the Lord’s anger to burn and His righteous judgement to be passed.

 

Psalm 119:18 

“Open my eyes so I may see wonderful things in your law. ”

 

I hope you join us! If you have the FROM THE HEART PRAYER JOURNAL, that is a perfect place to copy down these Scriptures. If not, just grab a any journal or pretty notebook will do.  Let’s do this together! Comment in the monthly thread on Facebook or on Instagram so we can join together and hear God speak through us.

    I love this theme! It’s so important to understand why we need to submit ourselves in obedience to God.

    This is such an interesting concept. I have heard a lot about it lately, and that it would give more concentration. My mind is always doing at least 20 things at a time, but to read and write at the same time would slow my mind. I will have to try it!
