I use a highlighter set from Daily Grace Co., and each color codes for a main theme.As I’m reading I use the colors to keep track of who God is, what man does, and other significant pieces like prophecies, commands, and prayer. These colors give me different lenses for observing the passage, as I use other resources and am led by the Spirit. I’ll h...
This is by far my most used highlighter! By tracing where God is mentioned, I am able to draw conclusions about His character and His promises. Often His attributes are not obviously stated (i.e. God is faithful) but they come alive between the lines as God declares His loyalty to His chosen people and guides them along their respective journeys. E...
In the next verse after the passage above God says: “I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” Genesis 12:3 As the Apostle Paul later explains in Romans and elsewhere, this particular promise signifies that Jesus will descend from Abraham’s family, but provi...
I use orange to highlight moments where man’s sinfulness is on display. This reminds me of our need for our Savior Jesus, and also allows me to recognize sins I may need confess. Example: “But Lot’s wife, behind him, looked back, and she became a pillar of salt.” Genesis 19:26 This verse shows the consequences of ignoring God’s command (Genesis 19:...

You may identify clear illustrations of faith, like when Abraham follows God’s call, but don’t forget to search for more subtle gems, like seeing Rebeka...
One of the best way to inspire your prayer life is to see what other faithful saints have said before you. I’m using highlighting to track passages with lines I too would love to adapt and pray to God! Example: “The man bowed his head and worshiped the Lordand said, ‘Blessed be the Lord, the God of my master Abraham, who has not forsaken his steadf...
Last but for sure not least, I note what God directs His people and how. This includes literal rules of His law, but also could be phrases that could lead to application in your life. This will be very helpful for the New Testament, but also comes up regularly as God addresses the Israelites across their history. In places like Leviticus, you may j...
You can buy highlighters anywhere, but I HIGHLY recommend these wax-based highlighters from Daily Grace Co.because they are specifically designed to not bleed through thin Bible pages. They also have sweet inscriptions on the side that remind you of God’s love. Also complement your highlighting with my Old Testament Bible Study Worksheet, available...
Numbers Overview Chart. View Chuck Swindoll's chart of Numbers, which divides the book into major sections and highlights themes and key verses.
Thus, we see how four can be considered a number picturing the human weakness of man, especially in the light of all of God’s creation. In REVELATION 5:9 we find four divisions of the human race: (1) kindred, (2) tongue, (3) people and (4) nation.
