Some people say that it’s distracting to them because it keeps them from seeing new things the next time they read the same passage again later.īut I feel like when I see a highlighted verse the next time I read, I am reminded again of the promises from God. I like to highlight verses in the Bible that speak to me while I am reading. If you’re new to studying the Bible or if you are looking for new things to incorporate into your quiet time, I’m going to share some tools and ideas that will help deepen your relationship with God today. And yes, I have a particular order in which I construct my quiet time. I have a neatly organized prayer list on an app on my phone. I like writing in spiral bound notebooks because I can easily write neatly without having to be hunched over a table. I think that’s why I love using specific Bible study tools in my quiet time with God. I am the kind of girl who has a specific brand of pen that I prefer to write with that makes my handwriting look better. I loved the freshly opened box of colored pencils and they way they looked before ever having touched a pencil sharpener.Īs an adult, I think I prefer the equivalent of new school supplies – office supplies. I loved the brand new folder that weren’t creased or torn.
When I was a kid, my favorite part of the school year was purchasing new school supplies.
