I’ve learned that Adam lived to see his great, great, great, great, great, great grandchildren-he in fact would have lived to see the generation right before Noah and wow-what does that say about God’s intended design and heart for generational relationships? I’ve found so much depth and richness beyond the surface of what I would typically understand a word to mean in several cases. In the past month alone, I’ve learned that the word “immediately” is used nine times in Mark 2 because Mark is trying to convey a sense of urgency in showing us that Jesus came not merely of His own accord, He was here on mission to do the work of the Father. When I step into them and do a little exploring, they often lead me to some incredible discoveries. But lately, I’ve started to see those little wonderings as clues. I figured they were distracting me from doing what I was here to do-to get through my reading for the day. I never used to pay too much attention to these little wonderings. Why does it use that word so many times? It says Adam died at 930 years old-hmm…I wonder how many generations of his grandkids that means he lived to see? That word is catching my attention-what exactly does it mean? Oftentimes when I’m reading Scripture, I’ll find myself wondering about different things going on in the passage.
THE ONE TIP MAKING THE BIGGEST IMPACT IN MY QUIET TIMES LATELY
#Esv bible note taking update#
In addition to the question about my Bible, another question I get frequently is, ”How do you have a quiet time?” Though I’ve already written a post on what my quiet times look like, I wanted to throw in a little update with the one tip making the biggest impact in my quiet times lately.
You’ll have to let me know which Bible and study methods YOU love to use. I hope all this information helps you find your own perfect jour naling Bible. There’s not a wealth of information here, but if you aren’t able to shell out the money for a study Bible, it’s enough to at least get you started and point you in the right direction as far as finding related passages or understanding the context a bit better. It provides a few footnotes at the bottom of its pages. Single Column refers to the text-each page holds only one column of text, which is what creates room in the margins for the little lines where you can journal and jot down notes.ģ. The NIV was great! Once I graduated though, both my college and the church I attended during college recommended the ESV, so I started using it and it stuck-I absolutely love it! This version is easy to read, and it’s considered by many to be the most accurate translation of the original text to modern English.Ģ. I grew up using the New International Version (NIV), because it was the version recommended by my school for doing homework (where my Christian school friends at?). To be honest I don’t have a ton of insight into the differences in translations of the Bible. It’s an ESV, which stands for English Standard Version. You can get the exact Bible I have here.ġ. This ends up creating an ongoing collection right there in my Bible of the ways I’m learning from and interacting with the text, which is always encouraging and helpful to look back on! THE BEST JOURNALING BIBLEįor anyone else who is wanting to use a journaling Bible and looking for a great one, my top recommendation would be to get a Crossway books ESV Single Column Journaling Bible from The Daily Grace Co. Personally, I prefer a journaling Bible for day-to-day use, because I love being able to write notes and dates in the column as I read, and to highlight things that stand out to me in pretty colors. I do keep a study Bible at home for when I want to dig deeper into a particular passage ( this is the one I use)-but it’s a little large to lug around in my purse. There are countless great Bibles, study Bibles, and journaling Bibles out there-and at the end of the day no matter what Bible you’re reading, the important thing is that you are. To answer that question more thoroughly than I’m able to do in an Instagram comment or direct message, I figured it was time to write a blog post so I can share which Bible I use and where to get it. I often use such photos to convey a message on my heart, a quote I came across, or word of encouragement down in the caption, and because those types of posts make an appearance often, it isn’t any surprise to me that one of the questions I receive most is, “What Bible do you use?” My Instagram feed is glittered with photos of my journaling Bible.
