hello beautiful Nicki here from crazy simple truth ministries I'm so glad
you're here today because today we are going to learn how to take your planner
and do a daily Bible study that's gonna help you be more consistent and have
time to get it done because it's gonna be easy and it's gonna be in your daily
planner so let's jump right in this is my planner stuff the planner comes in
this beautiful box and I've kept some of the planners stuff in here the stickers
and stuff so makes it handy and I'm actually not using one of her pens today
because they don't really doesn't have this aqua color so this is a Walmart
script Walmart scribble stuff felt-tip pen um but she does have beautiful
colors it's just not this particular light blue so that's why I'm using this
alright so she has a verse on everyday if you don't have a planner that as a
verse on everyday download a free app download the verse of the day somewhere
that you're gonna have the verse of a verse any verse of the day in front of
you so you have that encouragement because here's what its gonna do you're
gonna get into God's Word every day this way and it's gonna make it really easy
because you've already got on your planner so if you download the app you
can write it in your planner for the day you could even do it ahead of time so
let's say today's um scripture came up you could write that for tomorrow's
planning and the next day in the next day so you're always a day ahead so you
have it written in your planner and if you haven't seen the DIY DIY planner
video I will try to link that for you so you can go and watch that okay so what I
do then is this is the scripture therefore if anyone is in Christ he is a
new creation the old has gone the new has come second Corinthians 5:17 so what
I've been doing if you have a separate prayer journal that's fine too or just a
blank piece of paper but I've been writing here where it says prayer
journal I've been writing a prayer back to God about this verse so I'm gonna go
ahead and do this here and then I will tell you what it says or you can just
watch as I go I'll try to write nice I write kind of messy when I'm in a
hurry so father God thank you
so much for your gift of new life new life through Christ I want to say
because I want to honor him through Christ so this is the same kind of
prayer that I do in my prayer journal if you've seen that before
this is the same kind of thing I do I take a certain verse and write a prayer
based on that verse so thank you so much for your gift of new life through Christ
thank you Lord that you have taken away the old me see that doesn't even look
like the the old me and given me a new um Christ following , eternal life and
then may I always honor you and your sacrifice so you just do whatever comes
to your your heart yeah I always honor you and your sacrifice on the cross in
Jesus name Amen
okay that's what I do there now if I have a Bible study that I want to do
with this verse which is because right now all you've really done is prayed you
haven't actually gotten into the Word of God even though at least you're reading
a scripture at least you're meditating on one Scripture that's better than
nothing but if you have some time to just do something quickly in the morning
then this is my suggestion a couple of different things here but let me grab my
Bible this is what I suggest to you to get yourself a really good Study Bible
and this one is a life application Study Bible and I will link that for you below
so that you can get one if you want to because it is awesome it tells you how
to apply the scriptures to your life which I think we all need so I'm gonna
go to second Corinthians 5:17 I must oh yeah okay second Corinthians
see I haven't studied all the way through this Bible so there's a lot of
nice blank space and unhighlight adverse which is great 5:17 is right here so
then I'm gonna go down here and I'm gonna see what it has to say about it
Christians are brand new people on the inside the Holy Spirit gives them new
life and they are not the same any more we are not reformed rehabilitated or
re-educated we are recreated new creations living in vital union with
Christ Colossians two six and seven at conversion we do not merely turn over a
new leaf we begin a new life under a new master so if you are a born-again
believer you when you accepted Christ as your personal Lord and Savior and you
walked away from your purpose for your life of sin then you became a new
creation and that is why Jesus talks about us being born again and because we
are we are born again like like not physically in our mother's womb but we
are born again into a new life in Christ we are no longer the person that we are
that person is gone and we are creation so that's pretty cool that it
shows you that in this Bible which I think is super helpful for anyone
whether you're an advanced vital student or your brand new Christian whoever it
is I think that this Bible is really really awesome for that okay so what I
could do then is I could write down I could recap what I learned there but I
kind of did that in the prayer because I kind of already knew that that's what
that meant if you didn't then you definitely could recap some notes up
here and this is says post-it so a post-it note look at how cute these are
these are from Jennifer a prayerful planner - and these are her post-it
notes and these these bigger ones fit in this large planner perfectly so you
could do your Bible study and then stick a post-it over it to write out any notes
for the day anything that you needed to do quickly so um let's see another thing
that's where I'm going with this another thing you can do is in this Bible you
have cross references if you don't have this Bible just type in Google cross
references for second Corinthians 5:17 and you'll pop up with all kinds of
things there's always a way to work around things if you're on a really
limited budget so never worry about that there's always a way and Google is a
huge huge helpful way okay so over here seventeen over here is going to be cross
references so these are gonna be verses that go along with this reading so this
is one way you could do this you could go in and look these up Isaiah 65 17
Galatians 6:15 and revelations 21 five so you could go to one of those you
could go to all three of those you could recap it right here if you wanted to or
you could just leave it at I wrote the prayer I read the verse and I know now
what it means it could be as simple as that if you have some more time go in
and do the cross references if you have even more time and that app scripture
really spoke to your heart then do an in-depth study of that I updated this
crazy simple growth study method a bit not really much I just updated the
pictures on it I don't think there's really anything new to show you but I
have not released that yet because I'm still working on a few things
but a step-by-step bible study process to
grow your frit your faith and that there is a free printable let me think it's on
my website too it's under free bible study printables on the top step tab but
you can get that free it just looks different than that because I'm doing a
few updates especially to the cover it's a little bit more focused on the word
which i think is fun these were stickers that I created and my Etsy shop and so I
used those designs as the cover of this just to make it kind of cute and fun but
you can get that free on my website too and be watching for the updated version
because I will have that out and that will show you how you can go deeper in
to it so you could look at the context you could figure out who wrote this who
they're writing to what what time it was as in what year it was was Christ dead
was Christ alive was it the Old Testament the New Testament you can
learn all of those things by going deeper in so you don't have to do that
every week I I really would like to like for all of us to do it at least once a
week and that is not just going to church that is not if you have a
Wednesday night Bible study that is just alone time with the Lord at least once a
week to go deeper into the word but this is a really easy way that you can plan
your Bible study and do it right in your planner it keeps you accountable because
you have this space that you need to mark off every day and if you don't
you're like that big white space is staring at me and God is saying hey girl
get into your Bible so hope that's helpful
you guys are beautiful I love you so much I'm so excited that you are a new
creation with me and I'm so excited about this new year and just to keep um
encouraging you and inspiring you to get into God's truth so God's truth can get
into you because girl he loves you he loves you so much and I'll see you later
bye
