Sunday Scripture Blessings Link Up 9 8 19

I started re-reading the Bible again this year. At first I was doing my daily devotions and reading along with it. However, when I first started reading the entire Bible through in 2013, I followed along with a group called Good Morning Girls. I decided maybe I'd do better to go back and follow along what scripture reading plan they are currently doing. Luckily, when I checked their site, they are just starting the book of 1 Corinthians. They do the SOAK method (S-stands for scripture, O-stands for observation, A-stands for application, K-stands for kneeling in prayer). They provide the materials and I print off their plan rather than buying the booklets from Amazon. Anyway, I feel if I have a writing plan that helps me to stay on track with my reading.

S - Scripture above
O - (and this only my take on it and never intend to share for any influence): Paul is explaining that as a new Christian, we take baby steps. He is explaining that he and the other ministers are only vessels through which GOD teaches, but GOD will impart the knowledge through his spirit that swells in believers.
A - To know where the true knowledge of GOD comes. Not from men/teachers who put their slant on God's teaching, but from God as he helps to discern the truth through the Holy Spirit.
K-Help me to know when I'm listening God's voice, and not to fools and foolishness.

The Scripture isn't the complete chapter, but just one taken that spoke to me. Also, Apollos was a Jew that became a Christian, and ministered.

Would love to hear some methods you use to study.

Have a great Sunday, and thanks for sharing. Link up is below.

Bible Journaling Advent ~ HOPE 12 8 17

A shoot will come up from the stump of Jesse; from his roots a Branch will bear fruit. The Spirit of the Lord will rest on him - the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of might, the Spirit of the knowledge and fear of the Lord.

He will not judge by what he sees with his eyes, or decide by what he hears with his ears; but with righteousness he will judge the needy, with justice he will give decisions of the poor of the earth. He will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth; with the breath of his lips he will slay the wicked. Righteousness will be his belt and faithfulness the sash around his waist.

The wolf will live with the lamb, the leopard will lie down with the goat, the calf and the lion and yearling together; and a little child will lead them. The cow will feed with the bear, their young will lie down together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox. The infant will play near the cobra's den, and the yound child will put its hand into the viper's nest. They will neither harm nor destroy on all my holy mountain, for the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea. In that day the Root of Jesse will stand as a banner for the peoples; the nations will rally to him, and his resting place will be glorious.

HOPE

Pro_23:18  Surely there is a future, and your hope will not be cut off.
Isa_8:17  I will wait for the LORD, who is hiding his face from the house of Jacob, and I will hope in him.
Jer_17:13  O LORD, the hope of Israel, all who forsake you shall be put to shame; those who turn away from you shall be written in the earth, for they have forsaken the LORD, the fountain of living water.

Sharing some notes from past reading plans when I first began reading the Bible in earnest in 2014

Question: How does remembering that it's not "about you" but instead "all about God" encourage you today?

• The glory is to be given to God ~ not seeked by promoting things I do for my own glory.
• I can know that when it's all about God ~ the plan of salvation was in place for me because He Loves Us
• He takes center stage always, and I'm thankful it's not about me because he is so awesome and no one can fill those shoes except Yahweh.

In what ways are you being called to step out in faith, in spite of your weaknesses and flaws and in spite of the labels you have given yourself?

• I am called to have a more loving heart and reminded to be kind.
• I am challenged to speak up and remember to share his word since that was never my norm.
• I am called to read his word daily which reminds me who he is.
• I am called to pray daily and be better at it.

What might be standing in my way of obedience?

• Not being Bold enough to speak up for God, but praying to be better about it.

Working on Forgiveness for things that have happened in my life.

1 Corinthians 15: 55-58

55. "Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?

56. The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.

57. But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

58. Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.

Observation:  The death on the cross was not in vain. There was no victory of death because He Lives! He is Risen!

Application:  Give thanks daily to God and his gift of victory through Jesus and the Resurrection.

Romans 3:21-24

21.  But now, a righteousness from God, apart from law, has been make known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify.

22.  This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference.

23.  for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.

24.  and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.

Observation:  Through Christ all are righteous who believe. The redemption of Christ on the cross paid for our sins.

When studying/reading, I sometimes write out the scripture that I'm reading to try to help implant it in my brain better for memory. Sometimes it works, other times not. But doing it this way and with Bible Journaling has helped me get a better overall picture of God's word than I ever had before. The main thing is a daily read. I usually read first thing in the morning with quiet time and my coffee. :)

"Peace I leave with you,

my peace I give unto you:

not as the world giveth,

give I unto you. Let not

your heart be troubled,

neither let it be afraid."

John 14:27 KJV
