There is a novel tendency inward Bible written report called "creative Bible journaling" which goes beyond note-taking. I exercise it because it enhances my Bible study, helping me intend through the passage too line out telephone commutation concepts.
When I "draw Scripture," I exercise images that assistance illustrate the principles, concepts, promises, precepts, too insights inward the poesy or passage. It's i of many ways nosotros tin permit God's Word dwell inward our hearts richly (Colossians 3:16).
Why has this acquire then popular?
Because nosotros are creative beings, made inward the picture of the Creator (Genesis 1:1 & 27).
A.W. Tozer wrote: "I believe God sang when He created things...Look at the sunset...Do yous intend that God splashed the lovely, beautiful heaven amongst rose, cerise, bluish too white too wasn't grin when He did it?" *
Drawing, painting, sewing, writing, story-telling, singing, designing, taking photos, cooking, playing musical instruments, edifice things, gardening....these too all other creative human endeavors are not products of evolution.
God created a universe that operates according to scientific principles, but He didn't exercise it sterile, stiff, or utilitarian. He infused it amongst creative beauty, too He enjoys that beauty daily.
And yous too I bask it too.
Today, laid upwardly aside roughly fourth dimension to hold out creative inward your ain way. Perhaps yous could write a psalm of joy to your Creator.

But it tin also hold out a purposeful method of Bible study.
