Explore-Five Minute Friday

I love to explore new places, don't you? To me, that is part of the allure of traveling. We have been blessed to travel and explore so many new places. There's just something about that feeling of
discovering something new. Do you know what I mean?

While we are quick to want to explore new places, new restaurants, new diets, we don't always have the same love for exploring God's Word. I won't ask if I am right. 

I recently found a journal to help me further my Bible Study in a new way. The concept was not new to me, I learned it a few years ago, but this particular journal does things a bit differently. It is a verse mapping journal. Have you heard of verse mapping? I first learned about it in 2018 from Proverbs 31 Ministries, through their Why Her? Bible study. In the Bible Study Companion there was a video of verse mapping.

What is different with the journal? First, it gives me a place to keep all my verse mapping together.
Second, if you have no idea what verses to study there is a study plan in the journal for you to pick verses from. That is all I will say about that because this is not a book review, LOL. The first page is my notes, the second page is the example from the book since it is a more personal page.

When was the last time you explored the Word in a new way? When was the last time you wanted to? Do you have any Bible study skills that help you to explore the Word deeper? Or just in a new way?

I applied my mind to study and to explore by wisdom all that is done under the heavens. What a heavy burden God has laid on mankind! Ecclesiastes 1:13 NIV
