We will soon be wrapping up what has been a great month of Scripture writing, as we have been going through and studying what God’s Word has to say about fatherhood. It was especially beautiful (for me, anyway!) to write out the passages describing God’s heart for us as our Father. It’s been a really great month of study, to be sure!
Now I’m excited to soon be embarking on a new month, and I’m ready to see what all the Lord has for us to learn about in July!
I chose to have “Governing Authorities” be our theme for July seeing as how that is the month wherein we celebrate Independence Day (those of us in America, anyway)! Whether you live in America or not, however, the topic we will be studying this month is an important one for all of us as Christians living as aliens in this world. As we travel through this month’s plan, we will be studying God’s design for government and how He created governments to operate, characteristics of godly leaders, how Christians are to treat government leaders, and, finally, how it is ultimately God Who rules over the nations. It’s going to be a really good study!
Each day’s passage will take no more than about 5 minutes to write out, thereby making the plan easily accessible for even the busiest of women to follow. And, though it won’t at all be time-intensive, our Scripture-writing will aid us well in our desire to get into the Word of God, actually ponder and meditate on it, and study it for ourselves. Studies show that when we stop and actually write out something as opposed to simply reading (or typing it!), we retain far more of the material we are going over. So, I’m excited to see how this Scripture writing plan will equip us to better study and even memorize the Word of God.
How This is All Going to Work
For those of you who may be new to the plan, here’s what we are going to do:
Beginning Sunday, July 1, 2018, we will daily be writing out together the passage for the day as laid out in this plan. You can write out your passage in your journal, a notebook, your planner, a chalkboard, a calendar, a paper on your refrigerator, whatever you want! The whole point is to get into the Word and get the Word into us! So do what will work best for you!
As we go through the Scripture writing plan together, we are going to (as we feel led to and want to, there is no strict obligation!) take a picture of our writing for the day, post it to social media (along with, if you so choose, a note on what stood out to you from that day’s writing), and use the hashtag #homeandhearthscripturewriting. That way, we can keep track of who all is going through the plan, invite friends to join us, see how it’s going, encourage each other, and find likeminded ladies to journey together with through this plan. In fact, we have now formed an entire Facebook Group centered around the Home and Hearth Scripture Writing! There are already over 125 ladies in the group, several of whom daily post about what the Lord taught them through that day’s writing, how the passage was exactly what they needed in that moment, etc. It’s a super encouraging place, so please do consider joining us over there, as well!
I’m so excited to embark on this new plan with you ladies and can’t wait to see how the Lord uses it in our lives! Comment below if you’re planning to join us! See y’all on Sunday, July 1st!
As always, if you have any questions, just reach out!
Hi,
Jul 15 and 16th, John 10: 42-45 verses are mentioned in the pic to be written. Could notice that Bible has got verse upto 42 in john 10. Can anyone please let us know what scripture to be written for these days.
Awaiting your kind response.
Regards & God Bless,

Hi, Mary! Please forgive my typo there. That is supposed to read “Mark” 10:42-45. So sorry about that!
