Scripture writing plan for the month of August.
Theme: Strength From The Lord
5 days of writing each week- Monday – Friday with the weekend free or catch-up
The plan begins on Monday so download your free printable today.
Next week will be the end of our 9-week scripture writing plan for June and July. I hope you are reading, writing, and enjoying an increased love of God’s word.
I just finished rereading a book that seemed to fit well with the scripture writing plan. I had read it many years ago but it seemed fresh and new to me. The book is A.W. Tozer’s well-known book The Pursuit of God.
The quote below expresses what I pray you are experiencing as you spend time in the scriptures each day.
For it is not mere words that nourish the soul, but God Himself; and unless and until the hearers find God in personal experience, they are not the better for having heard the truth. The Bible is not an end in itself, but a means to bring men to an intimate and satisfying knowledge of God, that they may enter into Him, that they may delight in His presence, may taste and know the inner sweetness of the very God Himself in the core and center of their being, their spirit
–The Pursuit of God
This is one of my favorites from Corrie ten Boom.
If you look at the world,
you’ll be distressed.
If you look within,
you’ll be depressed.
If you look at God
you’ll be at rest.
~ Corrie ten Boom
Ready or not, Summer is here!
Certainly, none of us know what is around the corner tomorrow or for the remainder of this year but we can choose to put our trust in God and depend on Him to direct our steps each day.
This blog post contains a little gift for you to use for the rest of the year.
Below you will see a link to download a PDF calendar for July – December 2020.
Let me know what you think of the calendar pages. I am working on some other printable items to be available soon. What would you like to see available in a printable form? Your feedback and suggestions would be very helpful. Comment below or email me directly– EMAIL
We are beginning week 3 of scripture writing on the topic of God’s Word.
As you open your Bible to Psalm 119, I hope you will choose to spend plenty of time in this beautiful Psalm. We could have based the entire two month long scripture writing plan on this one Psalm. Please consider writing out more verses from Psalm 119 than what are listed on the plan.
The entire purpose of Psalm 119 is to show the value and greatness of God’s word. It is not only the longest chapter in the book of Psalms but the longest chapter in the entire Bible. Here you will find different words used to refer to God’s word. In the particular translation I am reading (NKJV), I find many different words for God’s word. Here are some of the words.
What words do you find for God’s word?
Plan to spend time this week and beyond in this amazing Psalm. Perhaps read it in more than one translation, select some words to do a word study, meditate on the verses and let it guide you in prayer.
The longest chapter in the Bible is proclaiming the greatness of God’s word!
How does that change your perspective on spending time in God’s word and scripture writing.
Open my eyes that I might see wondrous things from Your law. ~Psalm 119:18
This blog post is your invitation to join me on an adventure of scripture writing!
Let’s enter the month of June with a plan for writing out Bible verses and then continue on through July. The theme of the plan is God’s Word.
All you need to do is click on the link below to download your PDF and then print out your free scripture writing plan. You can still easily participate even if you do not have access to a printer. Simply look on the PDF to see the verses for each day. These verses have been carefully selected for the theme of God’s Word.
If you have never tried the practice of scripture writing, this is the time to start.
Reading the scripture for the day and then writing it is such a rewarding practice. There are many reasons to love scripture writing and the verses selected for the June and July plan highlight many of these. You will immediately notice that it causes you to slow down, absorb the words and meditate on the verses as you go through the day.
Later there will be a follow-up blog post about scripture writing. But for now download your free plan, find a notebook and choose the time of day you will be writing.

My favorite daily Bible reading plan is the One Year Chronological Bible. In case you are interested in this plan, the month of May is a great time to start. Most of the readings are from the Psalms and it would be an excellent place in the Old Testament to begin.
Here is a link to a few earlier blog posts about the One Year Chronological Bible reading plan Leave a comment below if you would like more information about this or other Bible reading plans.
For those reading along in the One Year Chronological Bible reading plan, Psalm 25 was part of the daily reading on May 8th.
Let’s focus in on verse 14. So much in this one little verse! I’ve chosen to share the Amplified Bible, Classic Edition because it captures the point of the verse so well. Basically, the AMPC allows you to more easily understand the meaning of many verses without devoting time in research. I love being able to access the AMPC but of course, nothing replaces researching for yourself.
The secret [of the wise counsel] of the Lord is for those who fear Him,
And He will let them know His covenant and reveal to them [through His word] its [deep, inner] meaning. – Psalm 25:14 AMPC
Here is an excerpt from what Charles Spurgeon beautifully wrote about Psalm 25:14
The higher spiritual life is necessarily a path which the eagle’s eye hath not known, and which the lion’s whelp has not travelled; neither natural wisdom nor strength can force a door into this inner chamber. Saints have the key of heaven’s hieroglyphics; they can unriddle celestial enigmas. They are initiated into the fellowship of the skies; they have heard words which it is not possible for them to repeat to their fellows. And he will shew them his covenant. Its antiquity, security, righteousness, fulness, graciousness and excellence, shall be revealed to their hearts and understandings, and above all, their own part in it shall be sealed to their souls by the witness of the Holy Spirit. The designs of love which the Lord has to his people in the covenant of grace, he has been pleased to show to believers in the Book of Inspiration, and by his Spirit he leads us into the mystery, even the hidden mystery of redemption. He who does not know the meaning of this verse, will never learn it from a commentary; let him look to the cross, for the secret lies there.

Fear not, for I am with you;
Be not dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you,
Yes, I will help you,
I will uphold you with My righteous right hand. – Isaiah 41:10 NKJV
Do you actually believe this?
Is God with you? Is He your God? Will God strengthen you and even uphold you?
Those who have confident trust in God are able to answer YES to those questions.
He will not be afraid of evil tidings;
His heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord. – Psalm 112:7 NKJV
He shall not be afraid of evil tidings; his heart is firmly fixed, trusting (leaning on and being confident) in the Lord. – Psalm 112:7 AMPC
Let’s look at this verse in the King James Version with links to Hebrew word meanings from Strong’s concordance. Simply click on the links to learn more about these words.
He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart H3820 is fixed, H3559 trusting H982 in the LORD. H3068– – Psalm 112:7 KJV
Here is what Charles Spurgeon said about this powerful little verse.
…resigning everything into the hands of God. “His heart is fixed, trusting in the Lord.” He is neither fickle nor cowardly; when he is undecided as to his course he is still fixed in heart: he may change his plan, but not the purpose of his soul. His heart being fixed in solid reliance upon God, a change in his circumstances but slightly affects him; faith has made him firm and steadfast, and therefore if the worst should come to the worst, he would remain quiet and patient, waiting for the salvation of God.
I want to live like this! How about you?
During this time of Pandemic, the opportunity to attend weekly worship services at church has been taken away. The doors are closed and parking lots empty. As the weeks roll by many are discovering different ways to worship other than in a group setting. The online options are abundant and ever-growing.
The choice of gathering with others has been removed. The option of being with Jesus has not. Some are hearing Jesus knocking now who were not even noticing before.
“Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.” – Revelation 3:20
I pray that you are among those who are now finding an increased interest in developing your own personal relationship with Jesus.
Consider these words from Corrie ten Boom today. Here is an excerpt from her daily devotional book “Each New Day”
We must not be too dependent on meetings.
You and I are what we are when we are alone.
Find your satisfaction in Jesus Christ.
Talk with Him, listen to Him, look at Him.
I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. – Philippians 4:13
Lord, make me independent of conditions. I thank You that You are the same yesterday, today, and forever.
