Hello my praying friends! I prayed for all of you always, my thoughts goes to those who fear Him and have a desire to pray over Scripture. It is encouraging me that you’re faithfully keeping in touch with my post and I hope and pray it will lead your to read, pray, study, and share His testimonies with others. Praise God!

Studying Psalm 119

Studying Psalm 119 has been a delight and encouragement to my whole heart by how God sees my affliction, doubts, trials, depression, and my failure to live a Christlike life for Him. And I prayed that I will NOT succumb entirely to Discouragement, Distress, or Depressed, the Devil’s schemes to make me wander away from Him. I shall stay firm in my faith and keep up seeking His ways, His testimonies, His law, and rejoice knowing that God is victorious over ALL evil.

After completing Psalm 119 inductive study, I stored up all the printed pages into a duo tang. Also I keep the notebooks and everything is stored away into a box with other bible studies. For many years, I’ll keep those notes just in case our church or my Christian friend decided to start a Bible study on that book. Oh yeah, it does happen. In 2020, I did an intake bible study on Hebrew, and now our church is doing sermons on that book.

Bible Marking

For the Bible marking color-code of words, I’ve used coloring pencils, Mr. Pen black gel pens, and Mr. Pen- Aesthetic Highlighters. For the notebook, I’ve used all the ones mentioned above and the Hethrone Coloring- dual Markers. All those markers were purchased on Amazon. Also stickers were purchased from Dollarama for the notebooks and colorful paper for title deco.

You might think it’s a complete mess, but for me, its pure clarity and delight. I colored in green all mentioned of God, Jesus, and Holy Spirit. The pinky cloud are verses that I favored in that section. Yellow were all the key word: Testimonies, law, rules, commandments, word precepts, and statutes. Brown box are the Literacy Clues (change in the scene/ emphasize).

Studying God’s word has given me further discernment and understanding of God’s word. Writing notes in a journal and color-coding in my bible, has helped me to retain and shared with others what I’ve learned. That was my main goal too. This is also the same Bible I used for church function.

Not everyone wants to write in their Bible, and that is fine too. Your can print a copy and do the same crazy simple notetaking and color-coding.

Hebrews

I’ve done the same with the book of Hebrews. Our pastor is doing a sermon series on the book of Hebrews; and I’m following along by doing an intake Bible study at home. So when I go to church on Sunday, I’ve done my part in studying God’s word, and I can enjoy the pastor’s preaching even more. And yes, I still take notes:)

In green ( God, Son, Holy Spirit). In BLUE (literacy clues.) Yellow ( people). Purple (conclusion). Sometimes I’ve another color for keyword.

We are just getting to Chapter 6. As you can see, there isn’t alot of marking done yet. Whatever you do, be comfortable with your choices. It is not to impress others with your notetaking skill that matters, it is about understanding God’s will better so that we can live like a Christlike life that is pleasing to Him.

For Hebrew study, I’m using Kay Arthur and Jason Dexter study guide that are available to purchase on Amazon.
