31 Day Bible Reading Plan – Book of Proverbs

About the Book of Proverbs

The book of Proverbs is often referred to as the book of wisdom.  It is made up of short sayings, or proverbs, about wisdom and about life.

It is generally believe that most of the book was written by King Solomon and he identifies himself as the author on three different occasions, at the beginning in Proverbs 1:1 and then again in 10:1 and 25:1.  The final two chapters identify as having different authors, but not much is known about them.

Proverbs main purpose is to teach wisdom to the people of God.  It differs from other books of the Bible which teach great theological truths, or give prophesies, or records of history. Proverbs focuses on instructing people in how to find and follow wisdom and live life with that wisdom.  In that regard it is a very practical book.

There are 31 chapters in the book of Proverbs, which make it the perfect book to study in one month, reading one chapter a day.

This would be great for Scripture Journaling and why not try Color Coding your Bible starting with all the wisdom verses!

Creative Bible Study Methods (to Jazz up your Quiet Time)

Creative Bible Study Methods (to Jazz up your Quiet Time)

Creative Bible study can be a fun and different way of approaching Scripture which can open up God’s Word to us and help us to see it in a different light.

God’s Word is so exciting, but sometimes we can get in a rut with how we approach it, especially if we do things the same way all the time.

By mixing things up a bit, and putting some creativity into your Bible study, you may discover a fun and very relaxing way to spend time in God’s Word.

 

What is bible study?

Bible study is purely and simply studying and analysing the Bible.

Reading God’s Word, researching the meaning, truth, background and history in Scripture can be an enriching, and growing experience.

As Christians, we study the Bible, not just for the intellectual knowledge, but also to enhance and grow in our relationship with God, to learn more about Him, and to grow in our faith and Christian life and experience.

When it comes to creative Bible study the purpose is the same, but the methods can be different by adding some creativity, color and fun to enhance our experience.

 

Why can it feel like a chore?

There are times in our lives when our faith and our Bible study is exciting, and we are growing and learning and feeling so close to God.

But, it’s not always that way. There are other times when thinking about reading our Bible can feel like a chore, something we know we should do, but we don’t feel like it.

Often, particularly for those of us who have been Christians for a while, unfortunately our Bible study and Quiet Time can easily become dry, and dare I say it, boring.

David expressed it well in Psalm 63:1 where he said, “God, you are my God. I will earnestly seek you. My soul thirsts for you. My flesh longs for you, in a dry and weary land, where there is no water.”

We all go through these dry and challenging times where we long to find that joy and anticipation in approaching God’s Word, as we have done before.

Whether we are experiencing dry times, or we just want to mix things up and try something different, adding some creativity to our Bible study can be an enriching experience.

Creative ways to study the bible

Bringing creativity into our Bible study times can be fun and it can help to shake things up for us when things are dry.

It can add another dimension to our study and help us to engage in a different way with Scripture, and with God.

Some creative ways to study the Bible are:

 

Listening to Scripture

There are many benefits to listening to Scripture and it’s a great medium to use if you want to get an overview of the Bible, you can choose to listen on the go, listen as you go to sleep, or listen and read at the same time to maximise the impact.

When you listen and read at the same time it maximises your ability to learn and absorb as you are engaging more of your senses.  Listening to Scripture can be very relaxing and listening to Scripture as you go to sleep may help you to not only sleep better but to allow God’s Word to soak into your subconscious as you sleep.  It’s also a way of maximising your time, you can listen to God’s Word while you’re driving or cooking or on your morning walk.

 

Bible Journaling

Bible Journaling is where you write your thoughts, lessons learned, experiences and applications directly into your Bible.  It is different from Scripture Journaling where you write into a separate journal, with Bible Journaling you record everything on the pages of your Bible.

You will need a special Bible Journaling Bible which provides spaces within the Scripture for you to write. You can decorate your Bible, using colors and stickers as you creatively reflect what God is showing you.

 

Draw Scripture

We are all created differently, with our unique gifts, talents, and styles.  Some of us enjoy our creativity through words, while others express their creativity through visual arts.  But you don’t have to be an artist to study the Bible through drawing.  It’s all about connecting with God’s Word, meditating on it, and expressing your thoughts, feelings and emotion through creative art.

Using colors, shapes and forms, and images you can reflect your experience of God’s Word on paper.  It will not only be a great reminder of what you have learned, but also the feelings and emotions attached to your experience of God’s Word.

 

Paint Scripture

Painting Scripture is another way of expressing what God is showing you through His Word.  As you take the time to paint what you are thinking, seeing, and feeling, you have the opportunity to meditate and think deeply on what it is you have been reading. 

Your painting can be big or small, it doesn’t have to be a masterpiece that hangs on the wall, but it could be.  It’s all about connecting with God and His Word.

 

Color in Scripture

Again, this is one for the colored pencils.  Coloring in is a very popular way of slowing down your pace and relaxing.  Coloring in Scripture verses not only is relaxing but it creates a space where you can focus on God’s Word, on the verse you are coloring, and how that relates to you and your life.

If you would like to try Scripture coloring I have a heap of FREE bible verse coloring pages you can download and print out, check them out here!

Use Stickers

The use of stickers is also a fun way to study and mark up your Bible.  They can be used on their own or you can use them along with Color Coding your Bible, Scripture Journaling and Bible Journaling.

Stickers can be used to highlight a verse or passage you want to draw your attention to.  They can also be used in a similar way to color coding, by allocating a specific image or type of sticker to a theme you will be able to easily find references to those themes as you flick through your Bible and just look for those stickers that you have allocated to the topics.

They can also be used just for fun, to decorate your Bible, or to remind you of something you read that brought you joy.

 

Scripture Journaling

Scripture Journaling is not the same as Bible Journaling and it’s not the same as keeping a daily journal of the events of your life. It involves reading a passage of Scripture, writing out a verse, or words, that particularly stand out to you, writing out a truth that has meaning, writing any thoughts or questions you have about the passage and then writing out a prayer and application from what you have read.

Scripture Journaling is a great way to soak deeply in God’s Word. Check out my post How to Journal scripture to grow your faith to read more about this method and download your FREE Scripture journaling pages. 

 

Write out Scripture

Choosing a passage of Scripture and writing it out is a great way to slow down and focus on what you are reading and writing.

With so much of our writing and our life revolving around computers we don’t really spend as much time handwriting any more.  Instead of writing a card or a letter we send an email.

But there is a lot to be said about the act of writing, and in particular, writing out Scripture.  It helps you to stay focussed on the words in front of you, it helps you to engage more as you think more deeply about them and engage your senses in the activity, the slower pace of it helps you to see things you may have otherwise overlooked, and it can create a space to allow you to internalize and learn more of what you are studying.

 

Color Coding Your Bible

Color coding your Bible is a great, fun way to engage with Scripture.  You can use colored pencils, felt pens or highlighters to color your Bible.

Choose a topic, or a theme, or a person that you would like to follow in Scripture and allocate a color to it.  As you come across verses that relate to whatever it is you have chosen to study you color in the verse in the allocated color.

The benefits of this are that it enables you to think more deeply about what you are reading, and also acts as a good resource later on, if you want to look something up or find something that you have previously read, you can go back and follow the color theme that you have created.

Color coding is a fun and practical way to enjoy Scripture. You can read my How to Color Code Your Bible blog post to learn more about this method.

 

As believers we want to get the most out of spending time in the Word.

Whether you are in a good space with God at the moment, or you are struggling, God loves you and He wants to spend time with you.

As you seek to spend time with God, He will meet you where you are.

“Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you.” James 4:8

29 Bible Verses About Money

29 Bible Verses About Money

Money, we can’t live without it.

But what does the Bible say about it?

Is it ok to acquire wealth?  How should we use our money? What about the poor?

Scripture is often misquoted to say that money is the root of all evil, but that is not correct. It actually says that the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil.  So, there is no problem with having wealth, but it’s our attitude to it and what we do with our money that counts.

The Bible encourages us to be wise when it comes to our money and to be generous to others with what we have been given.

 

Here are 29 verses about money for you to reflect on.

 

Philippians 4:19

My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

Malachi 3:10

Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house, and test me now in this,” says Yahweh of Armies, “if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there will not be room enough for.

Acts 20:35

In all things I gave you an example, that so laboring you ought to help the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that he himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”

Matthew 6:21

For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

1 Timothy 6:10

For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some have been led astray from the faith in their greed, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

Ecclesiastes 5:10

He who loves silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he who loves abundance, with increase: this also is vanity.

Proverbs 22:7

He who loves silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he who loves abundance, with increase: this also is vanity.

Romans 13:8

Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.

Psalm 37:16-17

Better is a little that the righteous has, than the abundance of many wicked. For the arms of the wicked shall be broken, but Yahweh upholds the righteous.

Proverbs 13:11

Wealth gained dishonestly dwindles away, but he who gathers by hand makes it grow.

1 John 2:15-17

Don’t love the world or the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the Father’s love isn’t in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, isn’t the Father’s, but is the world’s. The world is passing away with its lusts, but he who does God’s will remains forever.

Hebrews 13:5

Be free from the love of money, content with such things as you have, for he has said, “I will in no way leave you, neither will I in any way forsake you.”

Matthew 19:21

Jesus said to him, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.”

Deuteronomy 28:12

Yahweh will open to you his good treasure in the sky, to give the rain of your land in its season, and to bless all the work of your hand. You will lend to many nations, and you will not borrow.

Proverbs 3:9

Honor Yahweh with your substance, with the first fruits of all your increase:

Matthew 6:24

“No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You can’t serve both God and Mammon.

Luke 3:14

Soldiers also asked him, saying, “What about us? What must we do?”

He said to them, “Extort from no one by violence, neither accuse anyone wrongfully. Be content with your wages.”

Proverbs 10:4

He becomes poor who works with a lazy hand, but the hand of the diligent brings wealth.

Luke 16:13-15

No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to one, and despise the other. You aren’t able to serve God and Mammon.” The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, also heard all these things, and they scoffed at him. He said to them, “You are those who justify yourselves in the sight of men, but God knows your hearts. For that which is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God.

Exodus 22:25

If you lend money to any of my people with you who is poor, you shall not be to him as a creditor. You shall not charge him interest.

Matthew 21:12-13

Jesus entered into the temple of God and drove out all of those who sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the money changers’ tables and the seats of those who sold the doves. He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a den of robbers!”

1 Timothy 6:17-19

Charge those who are rich in this present world that they not be arrogant, nor have their hope set on the uncertainty of riches, but on the living God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy; that they do good, that they be rich in good works, that they be ready to distribute, willing to share; laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold of eternal life.

Luke 14:28

For which of you, desiring to build a tower, doesn’t first sit down and count the cost, to see if he has enough to complete it?

Ecclesiastes 11:1-2

Cast your bread on the waters; for you shall find it after many days. Give a portion to seven, yes, even to eight; for you don’t know what evil will be on the earth.

Acts 8:20

But Peter said to him, “May your silver perish with you, because you thought you could obtain the gift of God with money!

Proverbs 13:16

Every prudent man acts from knowledge,but a fool exposes folly.

Mark 12:41-44

Jesus sat down opposite the treasury, and saw how the multitude cast money into the treasury. Many who were rich cast in much. A poor widow came, and she cast in two small brass coins, which equal a quadrans coin. He called his disciples to himself, and said to them, “Most certainly I tell you, this poor widow gave more than all those who are giving into the treasury, for they all gave out of their abundance, but she, out of her poverty, gave all that she had to live on.”

Luke 12:33

Sell that which you have, and give gifts to the needy. Make for yourselves purses which don’t grow old, a treasure in the heavens that doesn’t fail, where no thief approaches, neither moth destroys.

Deuteronomy 15:7

If a poor man, one of your brothers, is with you within any of your gates in your land which Yahweh your God gives you, you shall not harden your heart, nor shut your hand from your poor brother; but you shall surely open your hand to him, and shall surely lend him sufficient for his need, which he lacks.

 

Scripture makes it clear that God wants us to be wise with our money, wise with our investments and how we use them.  He also wants us to be generous with what He has given us.  He wants us to use the gifts He has given us, including our money, to help others, and for His glory.

23 Bible Verses About Grief

23 Bible Verses About Grief

Grief is a sad, painful, and inevitable part of life.

You can’t go through life without experiencing grief at some point.

We often think of grief as associated with death, and that is true, the death of a loved one brings with it great pain and loss.

But there are other life experiences apart from death that also bring grief. We can also experience grief over a lost job, a lost relationship, a divorce, the loss of health, having to give up a home because of financial hardship, even grief over lost opportunities or what we may have once had.

Whatever is causing you to grieve, be assured, you are not alone.

God is with you, and He wants to comfort you and give you strength.

God gives us many promises in Scripture that we can claim and hold on to through our difficult and challenging times.

Psalm 73:26

My flesh and my heart fails, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

1 Thessalonians 4:13-18

But we don’t want you to be ignorant, brothers, concerning those who have fallen asleep, so that you don’t grieve like the rest, who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus. For this we tell you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will in no way precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with God’s trumpet. The dead in Christ will rise first, then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air. So we will be with the Lord forever. Therefore comfort one another with these words.

1 Corinthians 15:52-57

In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we will be changed. For this perishable body must become imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality. But when this perishable body will have become imperishable, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then what is written will happen: “Death is swallowed up in victory.” “Death, where is your sting? Hades, where is your victory?” The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

John 14:1-4

“Don’t let your heart be troubled. Believe in God. Believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many homes. If it weren’t so, I would have told you. I am going to prepare a place for you. If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and will receive you to myself; that where I am, you may be there also. You know where I go, and you know the way.”

1 Peter 5:6-7

Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time, casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you.

Romans 8:28

We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, for those who are called according to his purpose.

Haven’t I commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Don’t be afraid. Don’t be dismayed, for Yahweh your God is with you wherever you go.”

Matthew 5:4

Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.

Hebrews 4:14-16

Having then a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let’s hold tightly to our confession. For we don’t have a high priest who can’t be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but one who has been in all points tempted like we are, yet without sin. Let’s therefore draw near with boldness to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and may find grace for help in time of need.

2 Corinthians 1:3-4

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort; who comforts us in all our affliction, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, through the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

John 11:25-26

Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will still live, even if he dies.  Whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?”

 

We all experience our grief differently, and we all express our grief differently, but during your time of grief I hope that you can find comfort and strength in God’s Word, knowing that He is with you, He has a plan for you, He will never leave you and He wants to give you hope for your future.
