Now let's discuss this Bible studying method.
Of course you can set up your key anyway you want; this is just how mine is set up. This method helps me focus on the
passages I’m reading so I can find what verses I can highlight. For me, having passages filled with notes and highlights is
really pretty and satisfying. Make sure your highlights stay consistent and concise; this way when looking back on your
notes you understand exactly what you were thinking, and it is easier for you to remember and understand. Be careful
not to over-highlight or else your notes won’t stick out, but also don't be afraid to mark up and write all over your Bible.
Note: Oh Beloved One understands that some believers may be convicted about writing in their Bibles. Of course we respect this
and cheer you on in your non-Bible-marking devotion efforts! There are plenty of other ways to study the Bible without writing
in it.
If you do end up using this method, make sure to take pictures and send them to us on Instagram @oh.beloved.one! May
all your New Years reading be fruitful and productive.
