Handwriting The Scriptures

Do you struggle with reading the Bible? Have you considered taking the time to handwrite the scriptures?

I, personally, have a hard time with sticking to a set reading guideline. I also have a very hard time comprehending and understanding what exactly is being said. I often find myself, scratching my head, saying, "huh. Lord what does this mean? It is flying right over my head. So, how exactly am I supposed to apply this to my life?"



Did you know that there are verses in the Bible about writing? Nope, neither did I, until I started to look deeper in to this.



Deuteronomy 17:18-20 NIV 



When he takes the throne of his kingdom, he is to write for himself on a scroll a copy of this law, taken from that of the Levitical priests. It is to be with him, and he is to read it all the days of his life so that he may learn to revere the Lord his God and follow carefully all the words of this law and these decrees and not consider himself better than his fellow Israelites and turn from the law to the right or to the left. Then he and his descendants will reign a long time over his kingdom in Israel.



Jeremiah 30:2 NIV 



“This is what the Lord , the God of Israel, says: ‘Write in a book all the words I have spoken to you."



Revelations 2:15 NIV 



He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.”

Isaiah 30:8 NIV 

Go now, write it on a tablet for them, inscribe it on a scroll, that for the days to come it may be an everlasting witness.

What Is It?

So you may be asking, what exactly is handwriting the scriptures and how do you get started?



Handwriting scriptures is actually handwriting the scriptures. You pick a book in the Bible to read, reflect over and, well, write. Yes, the whole book. Word for word.



When you slow down enough to write out the scriptures, it helps to imprint them on your heart. What you might have trouble understanding while you read, becomes a little easier to understand when you write it out. It will also help you with your memorization skills.

To get started, just pick up your pen, notebook and your Bible. Choose a book and start writing. I suggest taking one chapter at a time. When you come to a chapter that is long, break it down into small, easy to manage chunks. Nobody said that you need to write everything in one sitting.
