There is so much treasure to be found in each name of God that my plan is to take you on a 30-day journey on this blog.
Please join me every day for the next 30 days here on the blog and we will learn more about each name that is on this list! ( all
links can be found above under each name of God).
Let's talk about how to benefit from this Names of God list and
scriptures:
I find that writing them out, allows you time to learn them and think about them more deeply. I have some pretty journal stationary
with prompts to help you during your devotional time. It should take about 10 minutes to write each name of God and Bible verse
but spend as much time as you have, sitting in God's presence and listening for His Holy Spirit speaking to your heart, instructing,
and guiding you.
💡If you have purchased the Names of God workbook journal, there are more questions and journal prompts that will take longer
to complete. I find that I work on them in the morning and finish up in the evening and if you need a few days saturating in the
awesome goodness of a specific name of God - that is perfectly fine. It means that God's word of truth is refining and renovating your
heart!💗
Copying scripture and carrying it with us throughout the day, reading it, and memorizing it, makes God's word a part of us. It renews
your mind and calms your anxious heart. I have also added a page to help you plan and order your day. I'm looking forward to using
these pages!
Take Action :
2. Find a quiet place with your cup of coffee, Bible, and a favorite pen or journal on your iPad!
4. Ask God to reveal Himself to you and listen for the Holy Spirit to speak to you.
6. If you feel moved to worship - worship God! Just enjoy His presence.
7. Most important: make an appointment with yourself, journal, and God every day for your scripture writing time. I find it
works best for me to do it in the morning. It helps me to gain ' God's perspective' on my day. But you do it at your own
perfect time. The important thing to remember is to do it and if you miss a day - just double up the next one!
I would love it if you could share with me your thoughts as you work your way through this Names of God and their meanings
Scripture plan. You can connect with me via email at karen@scripturalgrace.com or on our FACEBOOK page. Come back tomorrow
as we unpack the name, Elohim- God The Creator. You can read it HERE.
It's all about His grace xx Karen.
