As Christian women, wives and Mum’s, Bible reading and studying is an essential part of our everyday lives. Here are my 5 essential resources which ensure that I read and study with understanding and insight:
- Blue Letter Bible App – my ‘go to’ resource when reading the Bible – by simply tapping on the verse you are reading, you have access to commentaries, concordance, dictionary, translation comparison and cross references. My commentary of choice is always David Guzik – sound, biblically based information.
- YouVersion Bible App – this App is so versatile, it provides a passage a day, various Bible reading plans and a few other really great resources. I am currently following the ‘Chapter a Day’ plan – this suits my life style and allows me to deep dive chapter by chapter rather than rushing through a number of chapters in one sitting.
- Scripture Writing Plans – my favourite source for this plan is from Mercy is New. I am currently writing and praying through the book of James.
- The Bible Project videos – these provide an overview of each book of the Bible. For those of you who like me are ‘visual’ learners, you will love watching these videos.
- Various translations of the Bible – yes, it may seem obvious, but cross referencing scripture to scripture is one of the most sound ways of studying the Word of God.
God’s Word is life changing – it instructs and guides our daily walk with the Lord – how encouraging and comforting to know that we have this awesome resource for life right at our finger tips!
