This DIY Bible Marking System with Pens Will Help You Absorb God’s Word
Maybe you’re here to look at the pretty pictures but I implore you to stick around for a sec and read why I think color coding your bible will truly help you grow in God’s Word
Remember years ago when the Rainbow Bible came out?
Am I dating myself lovely friends? I think so! But I digress.
I really wanted one of those Rainbow Bible back in the day, but I came to the realization that all of the work was done for me.
I’m a hands on learner and do much better when I do the work instead of having the work done for me. That little bit of effort makes all the difference for me in how I study and retain what I learn when I delve into God’s word.
How much better would it be if I chose the topical subjects that best apply to me and my study habit and did it myself?
For me, there’s nothing like digging into the Word and mining out those wonderful diamonds that are hiding just below the surface. It just takes a bit of effort to get them but it is OH so worth it.
For the record, there is nothing wrong with the Rainbow Bible. If you love it and it helps you grow in your faith then I am praising the Lord with you, lovely friend!
But, getting back to the subject of bible marking and these Bible study pens…
I’ve always been a doodler, a list maker and a note taker.
Writing in my bible has always been my thing and I’ve never had any personal convictions that writing in my Bible was wrong.
Reading is our main way of absorbing information as we read.
As a creative, I’ve learned that I absorb things differently.
I’ve also learned that repetition is a good teacher.
When we do a task multiple times- read, underline- re-read and recall, I optimally absorb information. It also helps us with instant recall.
First I read.
Then I underline.
Then I circle and color code.
Then I write notes in the margin.
Then I recall.
And then something wonderful happens.
God’s Word is more readily embedded in my mind had I just simply read it.
Color coding your bible helps you apply it to your everyday life.
And isn’t that what it’s all about?
I love that my faith and creativity is connected to my daily devotionals and is more meaningful as a creative.
