Mapping the Word

Fun on the iPad!

Numbers 6:24-26 The Lord Bless and keep you; then Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.”

I had such fun doing this horse about 6 years ago.  I am still a bit under the weather and I may start trying out more things on my iPad.  

Yesterday I was working in my Verse Mapping Journal. I found it on Facebook.  While I am not a fan of Facebook and all their ads, with this mapping journal,  I am learning more about the fullness of every verse in the Bible through the mapping process.  I was surprised to find websites that break each verse down and help you along the way. I love the in-depth research and all the similar verses in the Bible. This slows you down and enables you to see things you might have missed. Then you research the times and places when this was written giving a fuller comprehensive story, and noting who wrote it.

The next sections in this journey take you through verses in other places of the Bible that mirror in meaning, then one section on what the verse says about God, one on what the verse means to man, and then how it applies in your life.  The last section is a prayer you write applying it to your life. 

Switch this to art.  Mapping a painting. Art has tangled stories, color, and more.  Compare this to life, to jobs, to friends and family.  There are small pieces of threads that tie things together and are often found woven through out your life, your experiences, including inside your home, your color choices, your furniture, your clothes, what you read and the people you know.  This influences what you create on that canvas. 
We all are invested in our lives, jobs, families and more. I want you to add more. Invest in the Lord and his Holy Word.

 Psalm 27:1  is exactly where I would send you, with knowledge, goodness, truth and light to start with. Then add safety, harbor and strong hold.  God provides it. If you can save a small allotment of time early morning as you wake up, find a Bible app you like and start there. Look up this verse on your iPhone, your computer or in your Bible.
