Scripture Writing

 I’ve been in a slump reading my Bible and praying. I read a great article today by Tim Challes about what to do when you are having trouble focusing on scripture. This is the part about scripture writing. You can click on the highlighted words and see the article. 

Rebekah is a committed Scripture-writer, and in this article she lays out the benefits while also suggesting a method. You could also try Scripture journaling with one of the many Bibles created for that purpose.

I really enjoyed the article and think I will try it. I got a journal and colored pens and am going to try writing topically first and then go to books of the Bible. I come by this naturally as my grandmother wrote out the whole New Testament when my dad was in the army.  I now have these notebooks in my possession.

I think writing out scripture will help me to pray because I can pray the verses from the Bible for myself and others. 

I’m looking forward to picking a topic and starting tomorrow. I’ll let you know how it goes.
