Bible Journaling

An interesting reflection on smartphones, sin, and self.

My current bible reading plan is Chronologically organized. I am hoping that I get a good grasp for the sweep of biblical history.

Noah and the flood. The flood was a cleansing of the earth, but God preserved Noah and his family. This is proof that "God knows how to rescue the godly from trials" 2 Peter 2:9

Genesis 4: Cain's descendant, Lamech, lives by violence. Culture begins to grow early on in human history and people begin to call upon the name of the Lord.

Genesis 4: God tries to help Cain, but Cain can't let go of jealousy and anger and kills his brother. He lives the rest of his life alienated from God and the community of God's people.

I am finally filling in my ESV Journaling Bible!

Writing is an important part of the learning process because it helps "cement" information in your mind by making you slow down and sort through information to find the main points of what you are reading. These are my notes about the Pentateuch from the introduction of my ESV Study Bible.

Can I throw a little party for checking every box on this plan? One time through the Gospels, and two times through Isaiah, Psalms, Luke, and Romans. It only took me 2 years to get through this 1 year plan. That's OK. I've grown so much! I'm just surprised that I didn't lose the checklist before I finished.

This is part of a passage about what pleases God.

Hey! I've been struggling with so many things - mainly mental health, self love, body image, and keeping Christ in my life. What are some good Scripture passages for these topics?

Philippians 4:6-7 is great to remember in times of worry. For mental health, I like to look to the Psalms. I didn't realize it at first, but many of the psalms are from the perspective of a depressed person looking to God. Praying a psalm a day doesn't take a long time and it's comforting. For self love I thing Proverbs 31 is a great place to look for a good role model of a woman who finds her worth from living a wise life. It's a very different lifestyle from the one the one our culture promotes. To walk with Jesus, the very best thing to do is read a from the gospels every day. I like to read one section a day ( not the entire chapter) and reflect on that one episode of Jesus' life.Sometimes I have to deliberately make sure that that I am filling myself with good things. If I take the time to read the Bible and to read good books and maybe listen to a little classical type music for awhile instead of popular music, it means I'm filling myself with life giving messages and a little more able to deal with the damaging messages that pop up in social media and music lyrics. My mental health is super susceptible to music lyrics. I hope these verses help--God bless!

That verse from Revelation gives me hope when I am overwhelmed with sadness and grief. Someday God will wipe the tears from my eyes, and that will be the last tear of sorrow ever to come out of my eyes.

Meditate on the word of God.

There are not many paths to God...According to God, himself.

Your faith in God is your victory. No matter what you hear on the news, you will overcome. No matter what doubts you have, you will overcome. America may be a post-Christian culture, but it cannot overcome you if you have been born or God. Your faith is your victory.
