How I journal and take Bible notes (a simple system)
ฝัง

- In this video, I'm going to be sharing with you my process for journaling and reading the Bible. Taking Bible notes and keeping a journal have been some of my favorite daily practices for a little while now. They add perspective to my life and help me to start the day with the right mindset.
I will break out my system in two parts:
1. Predictable Reading: having an idea of the set length I want to go for when sitting down to read.
2. Intentional Writing: setting a limit on the amount of words I will write down on my journal.
Both of them have to do with creating "rules" or "limits" but you will very quickly notice how each one has added tremendous value to my life.
It is my desire to motivate you and help you in this new habit you are taking on. The fact that you're doing your research or even reading this means that you're in the right track 😉
I would love to connect with you and know if you found this video helpful and how your journaling habit is going.
Thank you so much for watching and for your support!

The journal, pen, and Bible I use will be linked in the description of the video :) thank you guys for your support and such kind comments. God bless!
I’m a teen girl and all I see is aesthetic bible reading with crazy notes and highlights and this really helps
literally
Hayyy I'm a teen girl too! And same, I usually just take notes, and i highlight. But soooo many of the videos take notes _in_ the bible, or put sticky notes in their Bible's and write stuff on them. Like, whyyy would you do that??? You cover up part of the verses with ur notes like that! And then they try to sell you _cute bible suff_ 🙄
The way you talk and smile is so sweet, one can see that you have the love of our beloved Yeshua in you. So refreshing to watch. Much love from Germany!
I agree! Wonderful comment ❤
heartwarming 💞 when I first watched this video (I'm rewatching it right now) i felt comfortable and like I was talking to a friend which was awesome! made the video much better to watch
Yes it’s inspiring me to smile more.
I have had trouble with journaling, but I greatly enjoy taking notes during the sermon on Sunday mornings, and looking back on ones from years past. Writing down the Scriptures and thoughts is VERY helpful whether during quiet time or during a sermon is wonderful. THANK YOU for sharing this!!
I am currently kind of lost when reading my Bible how to do it, I have tried multiple methods and this one really seems it could fit. Thank you and have a blessed day!
I’m so glad you’re finding the video helpful🙂 God bless!
Honestly, a resolution for me this year is the bible in a year!! And reading that, the bible app does a great job with laying it forward for youu. And I absolutely love it!! ☺️ it is very easy to understand and read. God bless!! 🙏🏼
I had to find a modern translation because the King James Version was confusing. So, I bought a Gideon Modern English Version to help me understand better. I like both versions, but I suggest getting a Gideon Bible for better understanding.
There is also a very helpful day by day guide at the Bible recap. It's one page printable, you can fold it in half and tuck it into your Bible and have your reading and chronological order already planned out for the year. I find these checklists so helpful. I get lost without them
@@BloomByCCdo you mind sharing where I would be able to find the printout you use?
Simplicity is key when working with my ADHD brain. Will definitely try this out tomorrow morning. God bless
I personally use notion to do SOAP Bible studies on various books of the Bible on my iPad, I go with some stream or rain or ocean background noises and use guided access to stay focused and I have it in side by side view, my Bible and notes on the other side, I like it like this since I can access my notes on my phone and reread them at school so what I’ve read stays fresh in my mind.
The intentional writing point is excellent.
Hugo,
Before knowing you were Christian, I just "stepped " on the review for your Martin because I was kinda interested in this guitar.
After that I just checked your channel and it was a bless.
It's hard to find good content about how keep going when you're a Christ lover but Jesus caught my attention with your videos on how to organize your day etc.
I don't know but Jesus loves you and I'm happy to know you by your channel.
Good bless you my friend.
I'm in France btw.

Thybor, my brother! You don't know how much this comment means to me. I really, really appreciate your kind words.
I only make these videos with the purpose of helping others get closer to God and grow in the faith journey, and when I read a comment like yours it motivates me and inspires me to keep going even when it gets hard.
Appreciate you Thybor! Can't wait to keep connecting with you through the videos. God bless 🙏🏻
Wisdom above your years. As I'm now an old man,-multiple witnesses to "simpler is better", I wish I would've embraced this simple-ATTAINABLE system. THANK YOU Brother
I really appreciate the kind words John. 🙂 God bless you!
I love the fact that you sound and look so joyful while you are talking
I appreciate the kind words! Thanks 🙂
I ordered a softcover Bible (NIV) and I will repurpose a journal that I am using. Your video was helpful, thank you so much. God bless you!
@@ChristopherBottge Hey Christopher! I’m so glad it was helpful. I appreciate the comment. 🙌🏻 God bless you too!
Good on you bro. What you are saying is... find a way to keep at it; it is a spiritual discipline. You are showing us how important it is to do things in a measured way... a predicable way, the mind loves that, the consistency.. that is how habits are formed
You got it! Consistency is key for building any habit. And talking about this spiritual discipline, it is so rewarding when we get to develop and nurture our relationship with God every day.
I'm glad you found the video interesting, God bless you! 🙂
Than you so much, having boundaries or limits gives me clarity.
Thanks for the comment. I’m glad the video was helpful! 🙂
Thank you so much for this. I love the restriction/ limits concept because some nights I’ll read quite a bit and then other nights not so much and then I feel guilty like I’m cheating God or not giving him the correct measure of time reading his word. I already love to journal and I have been trying to find a way to incorporate that in my study time. I buy highlighters and pens of all different colors and I just try to make it as fun as I possibly can so I can stick to it. Training the flesh is a constant battle but if we persist the fleshly desires will fall away as we get closer to the Holy Spirit. So for anyone feeling guilty for not enjoying the Bible as much as you think you should, don’t worry it’s natural in the beginning, once it becomes your regular routine you look forward to spending time with God, we’re all in this together, God Bless.
Such sage advice. Thanks so much for sharing 😊
This is really helpful, thank you. God bless
Thank you now that I heard your video I realize that reading one chapter and taking notes solely on this chapter will allow me to get a even greater understanding of what I feel when I’m reading and it will allow me to take more precise notes even if I pull from another book to help me with that specific verse or chapter and taking it one page at a time will be challenging but I can definitely see the benefits I appreciate it so much and I’ll definitely be subscribing you have a great way of making things make sense great talent thank you 🙏🏾 God Bless you
Thanks Travon! I’m happy the video helped you 🙂 God bless!
Wow! Thank you for this video, I am convinced that these 2 principles will help me and others to get closer! Plus, your calm presence and your passion for Jesus are palpable! Thank you, brother! Blessings 🙂
Thanks for taking the time comment Jacob 🙂 It really means a lot when someone gives me such kind feedback. I'm glad you found this video helpful. God bless!
Wow, thanks for the number 2!!!
You’re welcome Valeria, I really appreciate your support!
This is a very great idea. The only suggestion I would have is for folks just starting, never read less than a paragraph. So much can be taken out of context when only reading a verse of the day. I highly recommend Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum's bible studies as well. His footsteps of the Messiah and Yeshua life of the Messiah are so excellent for helping grasp the original Hebrew meaning and Jewish roots of the text. God bless.
Leaving a trail to come back too.
Taking your advice…
I’ll be back with my thoughts! 😊💭
Thank you so much for sharing your tips. 🩷💜🩷
Thank you for this video! It inspires me to journal sustainably. 😊
I'm so glad it was helpful Hanniel!
Thank you sir ! Just in Time for something 🙏🏾♥️🔥
So glad it helped!
I love the way you are smiling throughout the video 😃
Keep smiling and stay safe! ❤️
Thanks Mehak 😄 I’m so glad you liked the video. God bless you!
I definitely need this, to be honest i find it so challenging to summarize my words, i fill up two pages a day.
So glad it helped you Edgar. I have definitely had the same issue. It's easy to go on and on 😅 however, with practice I'm noticing that keeping it short/simple helps me to maintain the habit. God bless you!
Hugo, you have the sweetest child like demeanor. God bless you brother. - d 🐛
Best video and it's a simple yet effective way. Thank you. 😊
Thanks! I’m really glad you found it helpful. 🙂
There is also a very helpful day by day guide at the Bible Recap with Tara Leigh Cobble. It's one page printable, you can fold it in half and tuck it into your Bible and have your reading and chronological order already planned out for the year. I find these checklists so helpful. I get lost without them
Your just great man, a brother
Appreciate it brother! 🙌🏻
Thanks man 🙏 God bless
Thank you brother! Good advice! 😊🙏
I search motivating and guiding bible verses on different topics and write most of them to walk on the path of righteousness and to bring glory to my Lord God who is in heaven.🙏🏻❤️✝️🛐🙇🙌🏻👑😇
Thanks for the tips!!
Hey bro, When you journal what type of things do you journal? like how your life relates to the verse, prayers, or just general thoughts?
Hello bro, thanks for your comment. I actually made a short video where I talk exactly about this :) I'll link it right here for your reference: th-cam.com/video/s1k62UY9HfY/w-d-xo.html
I try to do a summary of what I learned, reference my favorite verses, and write down a small reflection. I think you'll find that video helpful! God bless you Nick.
Great Video! And Thank you. I wanted to start taking notes but I found other methods too involved and sometimes more complicated. I knew I wouldn't stick to that. Oftentimes, it was women who had these more involved methods (which I was drawn to since I'm a woman). I think that's just how us women can be sometimes. We get excited about the process and details like the paper, markers and pens, decorating or fancy lettering, etc. I love all those things too but, when it comes to Biblical Note taking, I wanted something very simple that I knew I would stick to and this sounds just perfect.
I’m so glad you found the video helpful 🙂 thanks for your feedback and kind words. God bless!
❤

This is amazing, but what do u write everytime u do so ? GODBLESS BRO
Hey Andrei! Thanks so much for your kind words 🙂 I normally write down what I learned from the reading or simply what got my attention. I might make a video about this in the future to elaborate more on this great question :) God bless!!!
@@HugoBravoMusic pls do
If you were around where I live ide def be your friend.
Do you look back at your notes after you write them down, Hugo?
Hey! Yes, I do. 🙂 I find myself going back to older journal entries a couple times a year. It’s always nice to be reminded of a specific time and see how God is with you all along.
Do you have any provable, fact-based evidence of anything spiritual in the bible?
(I'm not counting historical or archeological people. places or events)

@@marleybanda7859 Do you have any provable, fact-based evidence of anything spiritual in the bible?
And by "evidence" I mean, NOT any hearsay, feelings, faith, beliefs, hopes, or tales of imaginations.
Can you help me to discern if this that I've received is really from the holy spirit? He woke me up this morning at 04:00. Here Is the text, translate In English from my language: Italian. Thank you and God bless you.
Salvation is the fruit of a conversion occurred in the individual through the faith in the sacrifice of the Christ. There is no merit in salvation except the faith in Jesus Christ work on the cross. Embracing faith involves the salvation of the essence of the individual which is preserved intact at the judgment of God the Father at the end of time. Charged with love and venerable absolution of countless sins. Sanctity without merit in the execution and maintenance of the Mosaic law. Only the faithful will be preserved and protected from the final judgment. Walk according to your salvation, not caring about the imperfections of the flesh. Everything was reconciled to God the Father through the sacrifice of Christ. Walk according to my spiritual guidance. I am the spirit of the living God. I guide the elect into perfection through the fruit of the works dictated by the Father. I am the one who guides you, I am the one who justifies you, I am the one who gives you salvation with constant guidance in your daily actions. Safe and sound forever you will be. Don't worry about the imperfections of the flesh, all are covered by the blood of the lamb for eternity. Everything is reconciled to the father through the son. Safe for eternity are those who abandon themselves in faith to the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Be comforted by hearing guidance in all the works you are called to do by the will of the father. Walk in the spirit of adoption granted to you through your faith in Christ. Hosanna in the highest Er every convert in glory of the Lord Jesus. You will ascend to the Most High without blemish since you have been bought with payment of royal blood and saints to the eternal Father as of the sacrificial lamb offered for the removal of earthly sins the redeemed by the blood of the lamb. Continue to sanctify yourself through my guidance and do not fear. You are free from judgment through faith in Christ He has saved you from the chains of manifest sin in the Mosaic law. Look before you with hope and serenity, the end is near.
