Bible journaling is an exciting way to engage with Scripture. It can transform the way you spend time in the Word and it all begins within the margins of the Bible.
What is Bible journaling?
No matter what your purpose for Bible journaling, the beauty of the movement is this: it doesn’t require a skilled artist. All that matters is that you’re willing to experience God and His Word in a creative way.
"Finding the Perfect Cure for Fear”
I’m afraid of being this high, remember? I can’t be up here by myself. I frantically look around me, and Fear whispers in my ear, “God isn’t up here with you, Mama. Maybe God isn’t really good. Do you see how high He brought you? It’s a loooong way back down. If He really knew you, He wouldn’t have made you climb this high or have given you this much. He doesn’t truly love you like His word says He does.”
Who Am I
Society says woman are down trodden, powerless, insignificant, sex objects, fat, stupid, insignificant, and the list goes on and on and on! God says women are equal, strong, beautiful, pure, clothed in beautiful clothes, spotless, strong, His! See the difference?
You are Special to God
You are special to God. He made you uniquely you. Your weaknesses are God’s masterpiece. Don’t believe the lie that you are not good enough, in the wrong place at the wrong time, or failing.
Think Before you Speak
Can you imagine telling someone to just give up and die? This is a very shocking statement from Job’s wife. Remember, she has lost all her wealth as well and all her children! She is in devastating sorrow. But the huge difference here is that instead of clinging to her husband and gaining strength in his patience during his mourning, she begins to attack him where it really hurts. Isn’t that a classic human move?
The Battle is not Physical but Spiritual
Right now our struggle is against a tiny microorganism called a virus. That is our physical struggle. But the real battle is spiritual. It is the battle of fear, dread, worry, anger, selfishness, and the list goes on and on.
Standing Together in Prayer
Don’t let yourself be driven by sin. Fight against it. Work at breaking bad habits. Pray always and then again I say, pray.
Practice Love
Those of us who were blessed to grow up in a Christian home hearing the Word of God regularly, will remember memorizing and hearing the first part of this Scripture regularly.
Living like Job
This book opens with a fairy-tale type description of a beautiful life and loving family. Job is very
wealthy as the Lord had blessed him richly with sheep, camels, oxen, and donkeys. Job would sacrifice
for his children in case they had sinned. So Job actively interceded to God for his children regardless of
their ages. It shows the deep desire of Job’s heart to not recklessly or purposefully disregard God or
deny God in any way by his thoughts, actions, or those of his children’s.
