Bible Journaling

September 6, 2016 by Guest Author 1 Comment

In December of 2015 I got a Journaling Bible for Christmas. It’s basically a Bible with thicker pages, wider margins, and plenty of space for creativity! They come in all different versions, but the most common is the ESV.

When I first got it I was afraid to paint or write in it because I thought I might mess up the pages, but trust me, you won’t! It’s so much fun to study the Bible and meditate on scripture in this unique way. Bible Journaling can also help you write scripture on your heart. For example, I’ve Bible Journaled a lot of pages and whenever someone says “Song of Songs 4:7” I know right away what that verse is from journaling it.

Benefits of Bible Journaling

  1. You can show this to others to inspire them or bring them closer to God
  2. You get to grow spiritually
  3. It’s a stress reliever and helps you relax
  4. You can get creative and make your Bible a work of art

Here are some examples from my latest pages:

God told us in Mark 16:15:

And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.” 

IMG_8993We all have a calling to bring our family, friends, and neighbors closer to God. I think Bible journaling can do this in a cool way! We as Christians just need to spread the word.

As it says in Matthew 28:18-20:

unnamedAnd Jesus Came up and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” 

We need to go make disciples for Jesus our Messiah and King! Let us always praise God in the highest and be His precious children and servants.

CFYC About Image Welcome! We are so glad you stopped by. Come Fill Your Cup is a group of Christian ladies dedicated to equipping women for study and service. We know you are busy and that life’s hectic pace pulls you in so many directions, but you can’t truly be the woman God desires unless you take time to fill your own cup…not with spa days (though we love a good spa!) or the latest novel…but with God’s Holy Word. We want to help you with that! Our goal is to reach you in the midst of your busy day and give you encouragement, education, and fellowship as you strive to live the life God has laid before you. Our prayer is that we can help fill your cup so that you, in turn, can overflow to all those around you. So, as we like to say…come fill your cup, and let it overflow!
