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

  • 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!

      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_ 🙄

      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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
