How I STUDY the BIBLE (My Note-Taking Method + QUIET TIME Tips)

[@kacinicole]

Let me know if there's a question you have about reading the Bible that I didn't answer in this video-I'd love to try to answer it for you. 😊

[@ashlyncle]

How can I make the most of my study time if I only have 30 minutes a day to devote to it?

Hey sorry to be rude but I strongly need your opinion on something there is a close friend of mine who I been knowing for three years recently she was concerned about things in her neighborhood like she feels uncomfortable, and she asked me to visit her may 2019 so I did she asked me to stay two days or so with her then I could go home. So the day I was meant to go home she asked me to come back and spend another day so I did then before I know it she kept me here till this day she moving soon I keep explaining to her I need my space meanwhile I'm paying rent in a place where I'm not even at because I stuck here with her so what should I do every time j tell her I have a life she makes statements like whose the one that cooks cleans for you she say I don't appreciate her what should I do then when i say I'm just going to leave she say if I do that god will punish me what your advice

[@kelceynicole]

@@marcelcarter861 wow! i know it’s been a while since you’ve posted this, but don’t let her use your faith or kindness against you! the next time she does that, ask her to show you where it says that in the Bible & then tell her you can cook at your own place! i’m not sure how you needing your own space correlates to punishment from God (i don’t think God will punish your for that). it sounds like she’s manipulating you & trying to guilt trip you. she should appreciate the fact that you stayed longer than what you were supposed to. that’s selfish of her to try to guilt trip you like that by saying those things and that’s not normal for someone to do that. it sounds like she’s using you for her own benefit rather than asking in a healthy way if you would mind staying with her longer. & if the answer was no, that’s okay too! you don’t have to feel obligated to stay somewhere if you don’t want to.

It's so true that we won't necessarily have any feelings or emotions about what we're reading in the Bible in the moment, but I do believe that something gets planted like a seed. Because there have been times where I'll read something and I don't know what to make of it, untill later down the road when things in life happen and then BOOM that scripture that I had read which I didn't think much of then, meant the world to me when I needed it and I didn't know I needed it. It surprised me by resurfacing in the right moment. It just clicked into place and made perfect sense!

[@kacinicole]

AMEN! Literally couldn't have said it better myself. Regardless, we are still storing Scripture in our hearts for the Holy Spirit to bring to our minds at the time of need 💛thanks for this comment!

[@theletteringofwords]

“The point is not to get through God’s word. The point is to get God’s word through you.” I love this thought!! So encouraging! Thank you for the awesome video!!

[@melissaamyx2196]

I love the food analogy! The majority of my "meals" aren't very memorable, but what I do notice is that my whole attitude is so much better each day because I DID read God's word!

[@kacinicole]

Yes and amen, exactly! 👏🏼💛

[@JGDD7190]

Thank you for pointing out that we don't have to study first thing in the morning. For years I felt guilty about not being a morning person and studying God's word first thing. When I didn't oversleep and completely miss my time with God, I was still too tired to comprehend anything I was reading. Evenings work much better for me and that's okay, it's the way God made me. Another helpful tool is a Strong's and sometimes multiple versions (there are multiple bible apps you can use to access several versions) Thanks again for sharing your tips and knowledge.

[@frompossibilitytoactuality6519]

I've watched SO many YT videos about how to study a bible (I've tried and failed many times) and this has been the first video that has really helped me and given me a good place to start on such an overwhelming 'task'. THANK YOU!

It's true It's not about feeling anything but Knowing him and receiving it. Just like in prayer It's not based on feeling but getting into relationship with God not based on feelings. Thanks for sharing Your study method, keep sharing.

[@maryheil2557]

I just found your channel. I love the content, especially bible study. I had to subscribe immediately. Better late than never.

[@sheenafrederick6683]

Oooooo the beginning of your video was everything!!! Every time I get a new bible I’m stumped on how to start studying it. Like I’m always looking for a new way to do it. And I waste time on looking for the “perfect” studying method instead of just being in Gods word. Expectations can ruin everything most times! Thanks for the video!

[@kacinicole]

Ahh I'm SO so happy to hear it was helpful! 😊

[@erikas.369]

I love the analogy about reading the Bible and meals… you hit the mail on the head. Grateful to have found your videos. Thank you for encouraging me

[@sarahcadwell6124]

Great video - pray many will view this and become excited about God‘s word as you are. It really is so life-changing and Love your analogy about eating every day even if you don’t see the results or it’s not a memorable meal!

[@kacinicole]

Amen! I hope and pray those who view this will get excited about the Bible as well! Thank you so much for this encouraging comment 😊

[@randymortensen9938]

I like the analogies you provide in your videos. I’ve been really working on growing in my Christian faith and developing a better relationship with God, so I’ve been reading this new study Bible every day. I enjoy watching videos of people showing and talking about how they go about their own quiet time with the Lord, so I’m glad you did a video on it.

[@tinaharrison3502]

Randy Mortensen what bible do you use and love

[@kacinicole]

Ah I love that so much! God will certainly meet you and reveal Himself to you as you continually seek Him 😊thanks for watching!

[@lenicelacourdia]

Earlier this morning before reading Proverbs dates for today, a question came to my mind and I then prayed a simple prayer. After I asked God in prayer, yesterday’s and today’s Proverb, chapter 20 and 21 literally, rather immediately answered and I was so floored! I wrote those verses and the prayer in my journal. I remember a vessel of God said that it’s not enough to just read the Bible but to “ask the right questions.” And when I asked, His Word answered. I use to think to myself like you brush it off but now I know the Bible truly has all the answers we need. We just have to ask the right question and I too will circle particular words that catch my attention so that I can look up it’s meaning in other translations like the Amplified version.

[@kacinicole]

Love this so much and it's so true! When we engage with the text our hearts and minds are opened up to hear what God is speaking. 💛

I have been struggling to read my bible for a while, and then I came across you Kaci!! All I can say is God lead me to you and this very message. God bless you and thank you so much for your insight. Xox

[@Jenna1814]

i really like how you put that food analogy in there. that is so true you get to parts and it is like your spirit gets so excited and then there are other times where it is like ok how much more do i have to go, love that. also i like your smart action idea. i have never heard of it and i think that is a great why to really remember what you have read. you can relate it back to it. I love the bible project. i am reading the bible like a book, starting from Genesis to Revelations. before i start a chapter i will watch the video on that chapter and then i will listen to it on my audible and then i will watch the video at the end of reading, just to summarize what i just read.

[@kacinicole]

I'm so happy the video was helpful to you! Also I love what you are doing with your reading plan - it sounds so awesome! Thank you for the comment 😊

[@oxlilsis23ox]

This is SUCH a good video 🙌🏼 so many just recommend an acronym like SOAP or PRAY which there’s nothing wrong with that!! But this is so in depth and so realistic and so applicable. I love this. Thank you!

[@meribethcampau6480]

Thank you for the food analogy. I wasn’t brought up in the church nor do I go to a church now. Throughout my life I’ve wanted to read the Bible but would get discouraged since I wasn’t having these moments or feelings when I read. I was always in awe and intrigued with my friends that had this connection with God. That I want. So thank you for sharing.

[@kacinicole]

I'm so glad the analogy was helpful! It's so true that we won't get that emotional experience every time, but that connection is possible when we keep showing up. Thanks for watching! 💛

I loved this video it gave me so much information about things I’d never even think of. Like you mentioned about the word immediately and googling why it is used so much, it has made me much more aware that all words in the Bible is important but like in this case things are repeated to highlight important meanings. I thank you so much for this it has been very enlightening. I also love the way you described eating and it has made so many things clearer to me now about not expecting every quiet time in my Bible to be the equivalent to a 3 course meal. New subbie here and glad I found your channel. Stay safe at this strange time.

Same for me! I heard another analogy “A car has a manual we use to help us learn how different parts of the car work, how to fix it, and without it we can’t keep it maintained. The Bible is the same thing. It’s our manual for our life and the way He wants us to live, ( how to maintain our faith), and to go to it when we need advice about a specific problem we are going through, encouragement etc.”

Hello Kaci, I just downloaded the grace to you app, and I found the MacArthur Daily Bible section. However, I still find myself confused. I installed the app today on september 12, and I find have five columns after clicking on the Daily Bible section; dated from 8 to 12 september.... how does this work? do I start with clicking on the september 8 column? I kind of prefer a year overview, that gives me more peace. Could you help give me clarity in how the year plan works in grace to you?? Thank you!!
