How do OTHERS study the Word?

We invited WordWalk volunteers and partners to share a practice, method, or project that they have found meaningful in their personal journey through the truth of scripture.

When reading through Scripture, I go chapter by chapter: studying, outlining and taking notes along the way as if I were going to have to understand each chunk well enough to teach it to others.

I like to have something that I’m doing with a community of believers. It cannot infringe on their personal studies, so what we do together should be simple, such as continually reading through the Psalms together.

I often read from a few different translations and paraphrases, because I find the small variances in wording can expand the application of the truth I’m reading. Sometimes I’ll go through a whole book in one translation, then go through again in a different one. Sometimes I’ll have multiple versions open at once to compare sections or verses along the way. This process also helps me to identify paraphrases that are ‘too far afield’ from translations.

My favorite time during the day is from 6:00 to sometime around 8:00 every morning. I call it my quiet time because my husband is almost always asleep during those hours. I begin with my talk with the Lord, and then I get to my books. I have several devotional books that I read from each day, books that are arranged by date: God Is with You Every Day by Max Lucado, Living in His Light by David Jeremiah, and the daily devotionals by David Jeremiah in the monthly Turning Point magazine. Lots of highlighting and notes in those books! Sometimes I do a read-the-Bible-through-in-a-year plan: The MacArthur Daily Bible. Last year, I used The Jeremiah Study Bible to read the New Testament in a year, using John MacArthur’s reading plan. Right now, I’m studying Ephesians, using The Jeremiah Study Bible for Scripture and Belief That Behaves by David Jeremiah as my guide to Ephesians. I love all of these books and don’t feel that my day is complete without my reading and studying.
