I need color in my life.
Not just because it makes things more interesting to look at,
though. Color has always been a
necessary work and study tool. When I
worked as an accountant or even work with the church financial reports now, I
used different colored pencils to check things off. When I read my Bible or nonfiction books I
use colored highlighters to mark important passages. I can’t remember being without a box of
colored pencils and an array of colored pens and markers in my desks. One might wonder if they saw my sermons. I used both colored text and colored
highlighting to help me with emphasis and to help me keep my place. A certain color signifies a main point while
another strong emphasis, while another biblical text. Do you know that there is even a Rainbow
Bible? Each text is color coded. Prophesy may be one color while history will
be another color. How do you read your
Bible? If it is all black and white to
you or if you have a Red-Letter version black, red and white, you may not be
getting all you can receive from God’s Word.
Go ahead buy some colored pencils and make your own rainbow bible. (Pencils don’t bleed through the pages). You will be surprised how much easier your
bible study and devotion time will become.
Father God, how often
we skim through verses as we study your Word.
Help us to slow down and read carefully that we might discovered the
treasurers of Biblical knowledge. Amen.
Have a lovely day,
Paige
