Living Sacrifice | Scripture Writing Plan

August 31, 2022 · In: FAITH

Happy September!

I’m really excited for this months scripture writing plan, Living Sacrifice, because I’m taking the passages from a personal Bible memorization project I’ve recently started.

(this post contains affiliate links. see disclosure here)

This month, I’m working on memorizing the 12th chapter of Romans and I’m using a Dwell Scripture Memory Journal for the process. They’re beautiful, simple, and easy to add to your quiet time routine! I highly recommend them!

This one that I’ve started working on has Romans 12, 1 Peter 1, and Philippians 1. I thought those would be great passages to write this month! These are such foundational verses about what it truly means to be a follower of Jesus. I’m pretty familiar with all three of these chapters but I don’t know them by heart. I can’t wait til I can recite them all the way through!!

As always, I have the scripture writing plan further down in this post but I also wanted to encourage you to consider choosing some of these verses to memorize! Try this or one of the other 4 Dwell Scripture Journals to help you! You, of course, don’t have to memorize a whole chapter if that’s biting off more than you can chew. You can pick a few verses, write them on some index cards and keep them in your planner, on your mirror, dashboard, or desk. Do what works best but do find simple ways to hide God’s Word in your heart this month!

Both scripture writing and memorization are great ways to soak up the Word. Whatever you decide to do this September, I hope it’s a blessing to you!

Feel free to download the graphics and follow along with this plan. You can join the LIVE WELL STAY FOCUSED COLLECTIVE and the Live Well Faithfully space to engage with the others who are doing this scripture writing plan!

We can all agree that the OT genealogies are great We can all agree that the OT genealogies are great reading matter for insomnia.

Then there are the purity laws.
And the land assignments.
And the censuses. 
You get it. 

It’s not a sin to say that parts of the Bible are boring, confusing, or hard to follow & understand. It just means you have Bible-reading muscles to stretch out and exercise. There are things you have to get used to and it can take time. But in the meantime, here’s one thing to keep in mind when in a less than exciting or inspiring passage of scripture - 

God cares about details. He’s not careless or haphazard. He’s interested in establishing track records because He knows the only way to make His case of love & justice is to offer evidence of His faithfulness in spite of the unfaithfulness of humanity. Nothing is an accident and even when humans don’t listen and jack stuff up, He never loses control over the situation. 

It’s okay if it’s boring for awhile. Stick with it until you see its beauty. It’s worth the effort!

“What does this have to do with me?” “How d “What does this have to do with me?”

“How does this speak into what I’m going through today?”

“How does change my life?”

These aren’t bad questions, in fact, they’re good questions and we should ask them. We just shouldn’t ask them FIRST. If we’re primarily concerned with what the Bible has to do with US, we’re probably going to pass up the parts that legit will tell us nothing about life as modern humans (genealogies and law codes anyone?). Instead, we have to change our presuppositions - 

1. The Bible isn’t about me. The Bible is about God and His redemptive work in the world.
2. I need to let God’s story tell me about about Himself
3. Knowing who God is, what His intentions are for humans & how He operates in the world makes up the framework I need to understand myself, my value, & my purpose on this planet. 

Don’t get me wrong. the Bible will tell you a whole lot about yourself. But first let it tell you about God. Start looking for glimpses of Jesus & the Gospel. In some places He may be harder to spot than others but He’s there, His plan is there, His love is there. Always ❤️

Reading the Bible early morning is a fantastic asp Reading the Bible early morning is a fantastic aspiration and I can’t wait to get there buuuuuuut it’s not required. If you wait for perfect, you’ll be waiting for the rest of your life. Just do it. Make the time and do it. Life is constantly changing and you’ll always have to make adjustments, navigate interruptions, and balance priorities. If this matters to you, you’ll make it happen. ❤️

There’s a lot in the Bible that troubles our mod There’s a lot in the Bible that troubles our modern sensibilities, world views, & feelings, etc.. But you would be foolish to judge an entire movie after only seeing one scene, a show after a plot twist in S3 E5, or a novel by one conversation toward the end of the book. We know not to do it with anything else but the Bible is judged by isolated verses & stories. It doesn’t work like that. While the Bible is holy, it works just like any other story - it should be read in its entirety. 

• Yes it’s hard
• Yes, it takes discipline
• Yes there may be a learning curve
• Yes there are some parts that are really boring at first

But it’s good and glorious and God’s gift to humanity. If you care at all about Jesus, take the time to read His story. Take the time to figure it out, to ask questions, to be frustrated, to not be good at it. All of those things are okay.  God can handle it all - I promise. Just show up. He’ll meet you there.

I love watching day in the life content. I’ve of I love watching day in the life content. I’ve often wanted to do it but, so many of my days look like this - me at my desk, working and jamming out to my favorite music. It’s not very interesting or varied but it’s my life! Playlists change depending on my mood. Today, I’ve been really feeling the songs from the 80s-mid 90s that I grew up listening to. 

So, nobody asked, and excuse my pitchy vocals but here’s a day in my life 😄😎 Happy Monday!
