If you enjoy this time in the Word, we would love to hear how this practice has benefited your life. Leave us a comment by visiting here.
How do I journal the Scripture?
Take the scripture, write it out in your journal daily, and meditate on the words. You may want to choose a few verses from the month to commit to memory. You can also go more in-depth in your study this month by asking yourself some questions:
- What does this passage say about God?
- Cross-reference the passage. What do other scriptures say?
- Write down how the Lord is speaking to you through His Word.
- Write down any questions you have for the Lord about the passage.
Our prayer is that you will truly understand that the Lord deeply cares for you through studying how we can endure because of Jesus Christ.

God’s grace is evident all over our lives. We are sinners who deserve death, yet Jesus took that penalty for us when He died for our sins. God’s grace chooses to bless us with the option of eternal life with Him if we will surrender our lives.
