My Bible Studying System | Daily Devotional | Topical Study | Bible Journal

[@juzanne]

Great flipthrough! I love your creativity within your Bible system. I'm visual as well and I love to pretty plan when I can (I have four children so it is not easy to pretty plan all the time lol). I love the Life Application Study Bible, it was one of the first Bible that I ever read in college. I love Tombow pens and I just started using the Midiliners and love them. My Bible system has changed over the years. Now I have finally decided to read the Bible all the way through. I used the Professor Horner Reading System first and I enjoyed it a lot. It challenges you because you read 10 chapters a day from different books in the Bible. It was amazing to see the correlation between all of the books and to truly see how every book fits together. It's free to do it just look it up. However, it was difficult for me to stay consistent with the system while caring for young children. I will come back to it as they get older. So now I use The Bible Recap Reading Program and I'm studying through the Bible in chronological order. First, I read the Bible chapters for the day and then I read the book form of the commentary of the podcast. There are also extra notes and even deeper study and videos to the Bible readings included. It's free to do it as well just look it up. My favorite commentary resource is the late Pastor John Vernon Mcghee who has a five year Bible Reading program called Thru the Bible. He has a daily Radio program on Bott Radio. He also has an app. I love listening to his commentary for every book of the Bible. After my Bible Recap study, I will listen to John Vernon while I'm doing my motherhood duties for further study. I have a KJV note-taking Bible that has a ton of space for notes. Look up note-taking Bible if you have never seen one. It's similar to your journaling Bible but much more space. In my 1st Bible gifted to me, I highlighted like crazy and wrote so many notes that overtime everything that I put in it literally became unrecognizable. The highlighters and pens do wear down on your Bible pages overtime. So I came across a youtuber who decided to care for her Bible a little better so that it could last longer and she decided not to overload it with notes and highlighters. So she made a discbound system of all of the books of the Bible and she used Bible tabs like the ones that you have and that is where she houses all of her notes and every interested topic that she wanted to study. It was a genius idea to me. So I recycled an old happy planner, I tabbed out each book of the Bible, I put notepaper in-between each tab and instead of flooding my Bible with notes and highlighting, I put all of my notes and interested topics in my Bible Notes book. I'm not saying that I won't write notes in my Bible, but when I do I want it to be more clean and seamless and recognizable. I'm thinking through my Bible Marking system before I actually write in my note-taking Bible. For now I just read it and no notes are in it yet. Thanks for sharing your system and I was just sharing my system in case you needed some ideas in the future. Keep growing in Christ and studying the revelations of His Word. No matter what God wants us to DRAW NEAR to Him daily. You be blessed as well sister in Christ.

I also love the pastel color sticky pads! I heart the purple ones.

[@craftyloretta]

Juzanne thank you so much for your tips! I was taking note and will definitely look into those types of studies! They sound like exactly what I’m looking for. I love the idea of having a separate notebook to take notes I considered doing that especially if you already have a bible (non-journaling) that you want to continue using! Or for people who aren’t comfortable writing in their bibles. It’s definitely hard to get in the amount of studying I want to with young children so I’m taking it slow taking my time with each book and chapter, my plan at first was to do the Bible in one year. I always tell myself I’ll wait til they’re older to do more (in general). Thanks so much I hope you continue on your journey as well 💗 thanks for watching.

[@DanielleJenai]

Omg can you make a quick video of what you do lol I love all these tips

[@truthnotlies]

I second this! The commenter had great suggestions.

[@shellinicole7784]

Great comment

[@cameronjade4861]

Girl! I love how you got right to the point and no messing around. Thank you!

[@craftyloretta]

Thank you so much 🤗

[@ZeeZeeTope]

So…this is by far the most beautiful Bible journaling tutorial…speaks to my taste, I could eat it for lunch, it’s so delicious. I think I need to watch this 40 more times, and share with my daughters. Thank you! THANK YOU!! For sharing your talent. ❤❤❤

[@craftyloretta]

Wow, thank you!😊💕

[@susanh1447]

I love this and it’s good to see someone using KJV! I got saved with the KJV and when everyone was changing over I thought I’d memorized and learned too much to change. I love the way you use other books instead of filling your Bible with notes, cards, photos, and everything else.

[@lisaandmandiontheroad8504]

your bible art is absolutely beautiful, and your writing is impeccable. I loved this video so much. thank you for taking the time to make it.

[@craftyloretta]

I just came across your video. I am completely new to this so I’ve been looking at lots of videos. Your system is awesome. Everything about it is perfect….its beautiful, organized and tidy. It’s by far the best that I’ve seen

[@LuvsSno]

Is it possible to get a link to your Church's daily Bible devotional.. they look amazing?

[@radiopoet1330]

I love that you read a Book Overview and then make your own notes on it in your journaling Bible. I only use that "as needed" so I've never really taken the time to look at that overview on my own time. I may have to borrow this idea.

[@YohannaFaith26]

I love this Bible journaling!! This is so organized and clean, this is how I want mine to be so I can go back later and reread and no have such a colorful mess. This is beautiful thank you, the best I’ve seen on KZbin!!

This is my first time on your channel. I am in love with you already. I love your writing, the use of colors (pastels), your bible study method. There is no wrong or right way to study/read the bible but to finally find someone who shows you how they study and it just makes sense. I feel like I can finally dive in and not be intimidated anymore. I look forward to checking out more of your videos. Thank you for taking the time to create YT videos. I know its a lot of work.. Sending love from TX!

Your set up is very organized. Thank you for sharing. You Tube suggested this to me... I too love using colored post it's and colored highlighters in my daily bible study. I also use post it page flags to mark out things I want to refer back to and place them like book marks at the top of the page. I love to use Ariel Ministries materials to help me study the Jewish roots of the bible and boy that has really helped me gain clearer understanding. God bless.

What’s your go to Bible studying method? ✍🏾

[@reneallen8302]

Loving your Bible Study System. Beautifully done! I am a Bible Collector, and what I do is basically use my Study Bibles for study each day. I use whichever Study Bible the Holy Spirit leads me to for the day. Sometimes I use 3 at a time (all different translations for comparison purposes). It helps me to gain a fuller understanding. I Also do Research on particular topics I am studying. I use Commentaries as well. Word studies are also good when doing your Bible Study. I write in all my Bibles and do more underlining than highlighting. I can always highlight later upon re-reads. I really enjoy Tony Evans Study Bible and his Commentary. Using the two together make for a great Study Session. I have several Translations of the Life Application Study Bible. I like the HCSB Translation the best. I have the KJV in memory because I was brought up on it. Unlike many people who don't understand it or have a hard time reading it. It is just fine to me 🤗. If you are a Visual person, you may enjoy the NLT Illustrated Study Bible or the KJV Full Color Study Bible. There are so many great Study Bibles out now, I could go on for days ~ 🌺🌄

[@craftyloretta]

Thank you 💕. Awesome thanks for watching, & for your input I will take note 🤗.
