The moment your alarm went off this morning, you started thinking and making decisions. The first one would be to actually turn the alarm off, move from the cozy covers, and plant your feet on the floor to start your day. We are constantly thinking, making decisions, and meditating on something. The wheels in our minds are constantly turning, churning, mulling, dreaming, deciding, making conclusions, worrying, praising, and so on. My husband occasionally catches me off guard and asks me what I am thinking when he can tell I am distracted or am concentrating. Usually I sit for a second trying to decipher all the thoughts that were running through my head! Our minds are constantly busy directing our steps.

Proverbs 31 is infamously known in the church as the “perfect woman” that we should all strive to be. Without realizing it, we have created this woman into a to-do list that no one can achieve in life. She has become the standard that is unattainable. We often don’t know quite what to do with her. How do we truly live out biblical womanhood in a world that is constantly changing? There are countless teachings that object to a woman who is submissive, gentle, creative, servant-hearted (as seen in Scripture and in the Proverbs 31 woman).

Two weeks ago we began a series called “Well-Watered Women” diving deep into practical ways we can study the Bible! You can catch up on the posts here: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, and Part 5. This week, we are going to continue this series with more ways we can not only study Scripture, but begin to live it out and arrange our life and our days around the truths of the Word. Today, we will focus on our response to studying God’s Word. We should not only be readers and studiers of the Bible, but we should also be doers.

It still amazes me that today we launch the new spring Give Me Jesus Journals. It was just one year ago this month that the Lord began to stir in my heart the vision for the journal. Last May we had the first version of the journal in hand and sold out of the order within one hour. I had absolutely no idea what God would do with these journals and God-sized dream. It began as a tiny mustard seed of faith that God planted and is continuing to water to grow into a garden for His glory! With my knees to the floor and my hands lifted high to the Lord in praise, I am excited to partake in the gospel of grace with you as we study God’s Word together!

Today we are in day 4 of our “Well-Watered Women” series on how to study the Bible! Catch up on previous posts here: Day 1: In The Word, Day 2: Why The Word?, and Day 3: Study The Word. In today’s post, we will look at different resources that we can use to dive deep into Scripture and gain wisdom. There are many incredible tools to enhance our study of Scripture and we hope they encourage you and equip you.

Today we are in day 3 of our “Well-Watered Women” series on how to study the Bible! In the first day’s post on being “In The Word” I shared how I spend time daily in the Scripture as well as a challenge for us to commit the first moments of our days to the Lord. Yesterday’s post answered the question “Why The Word?” We unveiled some insecurities we have in coming to the Word of God and pointed to how we are to come to Scripture and how we are to go and take the message into the world. Today, we will talk about different ways we can study the Bible and break down Scripture!

Today we are digging deep into our insecurities in studying God’s Word and what the Bible says in response to our questions. We “drink deep from the Well” of God’s Word because only it can satisfy our thirsty hearts. In today’s video and post, we will first study the basics of why we study the Word and how we come to the Word.

Mornings are my favorite time of day. The earth is still, the coffee is brewing, and my heart has yet to get after its’ long to do list. I hunger after the stillness that can only be touched in the morning time. The reason this time of day is so dear to my heart is because it is when I meet with the Lord. No distractions, no things done, no one to talk to, just me and my Lord. This time is sacred and holy, the most important thing I do each day.

Last week began a journey from Bethlehem to Moab, back to Bethlehem, and everywhere in between. We opened up the book of Ruth and studied truth deeply. We wrung out each verse and pointed them back to Christ and the marvelous Gospel of grace. I don’t know about you, but in some ways I felt […]
