Bible Study

I hear so many times from Christians the difficulty of really delving into the Word of God and understanding the meaning. The reason the Bible is difficult for us is because of several reason. The culture is different from our American culture, we can become lost in translation or the true meaning of words, etc. The truth is that God communicates with us through His Word. He shows us how to live, what’s right and wrong, etc. A friend showed me a little Bible study by an amazing, Godly women named Kay Arthur. The name of this book is “Lord, teach me to study the Bible in 28 days.” I learned through this women how to really delve into the Word on my own and ways the Lord was speaking to me through His Word. After this study I wanted to know more. I craved His Word, the truths I was learning, and the way the Lord was communicating with me. I decided to do another study of hers through Joshua (which I will share next week). 

The way Kay Arthur goes through the Bible is book-by-book. First, you read a passage of Scripture, then re-read and mark time references, locations, people, events, key words (repeated or significant words) with color pencils, next you list what you learn from some of these marking, and last you will apply these lessons to your life.

I will put the link at the end of this blog. Please consider going through this study if you have ever had difficulty with reading Scripture on your own. It will give you new revelations into the heart of God, a new way to Worship, and to really hold strong in this world. I do Bible study not as a legalistic practice, but a way to grow closer to the Lord.
