2021 Word of God Speak Journal - Joanna Weaver Books

Welcome to the “Word of God Speak” Bible Reading Journal. This Bible reading method (adapted from the

Navigator 2:7 Discipleship Course) has changed my life – I pray it changes your life as well.

Instead of reading though the entire Bible in a year, you’ll read a CHAPTER A DAY. You’ll approach the

Word slowly and expectantly – looking for ways God wants to speak to you. Ask the Holy Spirit for wisdom

to apply it to yourself, but also for “revelation” so that you might know Jesus better (Ephesians 1:17).

How to Use the Journal

On the pages that follow, you’ll find space to record your Bible reading highlights and reflections. Print these

pages and place in a binder for easy use.

As you approach your quiet time each day, have your Bible and this journal. Refer to the Bible reading

schedule (pgs 4-6) for each day’s assignment.

1. Before you begin, invite the Holy Spirit to remove any preconceived ideas so that you can receive a fresh

word from the Lord.

2. Read the assigned scripture portion slowly. Really think about what is being said.

3. Read only until God speaks, then do the following:

• Note the portion of scripture read that day

• Write the verse(s) word-for-word, including the reference

4. In the “How it impressed me” section, respond to what you feel the Lord is saying through His Word.

Here are a few ways you can do that:

• Write the verse as a prayer

• Paraphrase it in your own words

• Consider how you might apply it to your life, but also what it reveals about God and His character

5. If you’ve read through the chapter and haven’t found something to meditate on, go to a chapter in Psalms

or Proverbs. After reading both chapters, choose something to reflect on.

6. Take all of it to the Lord in prayer.

7. If you are part of the Facebook “Word of God Speak 2021” reading community, leave a comment in the

daily thread which lists the Bible reading assignments.

Throughout the day, allow your heart and mind to return to the truth the Holy Spirit has illuminated. Allow a

holy dialogue to develop as you talk to God about what He’s shown you.

Print Instructions: To add pages to this journal, print off pages 7-17 as many times as needed.

Hope you come to love God’s Word as I have through this method.

Blessings,

A Note from Joanna

If you don’t yet have a Bible that you really enjoy and understand, I suggest that you go to your local

Christian bookstore and look at the variety of different translations available. Consider upgrading to a

study edition that has a thorough concordance and study helps as well as brief explanatory notes and

commentaries throughout.

Begin to make this Bible your own. When I began to underline and highlight scripture, my Bible became

alive to me and a tangible record of my walk with the Lord!

Here are some tips to enhance your reading and study experience:

1. Ask the Holy Spirit to speak something fresh to your heart (Ephesians 1:17).

2. Read slowly, thinking of ways to apply what you’re reading to your life.

3. Using a pen, colored pencil, or non-bleed highlighter, mark things that stand out to you,

such as words of encouragement, insights, challenges, observations, etc.

4. While there are different methods, here are a few simple markings you can use:

[Brackets]—put around a phrase or place in margin to note a specific portion.

/Diagonal Lead-in and out/—use within the text or in the margin to mark a longer

passage.

Circle—use to emphasize repeated words in a passage or to indicate the principal

characters or themes of that passage.

Underline—use to highlight words, phrases, or a sentence. For a block of verses,

other markings are often less tedious than underlining.

When a verse really speaks to a situation I’m going through, I mark it with a star or make notes in the

margins with a date to remind me of what God has said. This personal interaction with the Word of

God has caused me to fall in love with the Bible even more. I hope it helps you as well!

Adapted from Growing Strong in God’s Family: The 2:7 Series (Colorado Springs: NavPress, 1987)

Reading and Marking Your Bible

“Pray Every Day” Pages

If you’re like me, I can get so overwhelmed by the needs around me, I don’t get around to actually praying.

I just spend my time fretting about people and situations.

To help you overcome the overwhelm we’ve included a “Pray Every Day” section at the end of this journal

(pgs 18-20). You’ll find space to categorize prayer requests. Go to these pages each day to focus on one set

of needs, rather than your entire prayer list. (Also space for “Other Needs.”)

• MONDAY – Pray for Your Family

• TUESDAY – Pray for God’s Family (local church & around the world)

• WEDNESDAY – Pray for Your Community

• THURSDAY – Pray for Your Nation

• FRIDAY – Pray for the World

• SATURDAY – Pray for the Helpless, Hopeless, Hurting & Lost

• SUNDAY – Pray for Personal Guidance

Each day, you’ll read a chapter from the Bible. Using the steps outlined on the last page, record

your thoughts in the reflection pages that follow.

Daily reminders will post each day at my Facebook page (www.Facebook.com/JoannaWeaverBooks),

where you can leave a comment as to what the Lord is speaking to you.
