Greetings from Balanced Living!
We are so glad you found us! Whether you are a veteran or newbie to studying the word of God, we want to first start out by saying that there is no wrong way to go about this! For us the W.O.R.D. Method of study has been the most successful, so we decided to share it with others! Join us as we read the Book of Nehemiah one chapter a day starting JULY 18TH!!
Here’s how we study God’s Word:
Step 1: Dust off your Bible or purchase a new one!
Step 2: Each day (Mon. – Fri.) read one chapter of the Bible. This Bible Study Guide was created for the Book of Nehemiah.
While we read God’s word, we soak in the scripture using the W.O.R.D. Method:
W - Word of God (Write down your favorite verse(s) from todays scripture.)
O - Observation (What did you observe while reading God’s word)
R - Reflect (Apply what God said to you today to your daily life.)
D - Devotion (What do you feel compelled to tell God in prayer.)
Step 3: In addition to the W.O.R.D. Method, we have selected a “Verse of the Day” to consider as you read, of course you are welcome to write down more than one or choose your own! We also have come up with a “Daily Reflection Question” to ponder while you read, to deepen your understanding of God’s message through the scripture as well as apply what you’ve learned to your daily life.
* The “Verse of the Day” & “Daily Reflection Questions” are located before each W.O.R.D. guide.
We hope you find our Catholic Bible Study resources easy to use. Please, feel free to share us with others
God Bless, L.
Here are your virtual resources for Week 1 in the Book of Nehemiah.
This week will will be reading in the Book of Nehemiah, chapters 1-5.
Weekly Reading Plan:
Monday:
#VerseOfTheDay
Reflection Question for the day: Lord Hear Our Prayer.
How do you pray? How often do you pray? For whom do you pray? Are your thoughts clear and directed or do you struggle to keep the conversation flowing? Although you do not hear God out loud, he is listening. Your faith and focus will allow you to “hear” him.
Write down the prayers you hold in your heart, so you have a focused, concise outline, then pray. We hope you feel the difference.
Tuesday:
#VerseOfTheDay
Reflection Question for the day: God Granted My Request.
What requests have you made, that God has granted?
Wednesday:
#VerseOfTheDay
Reflection Question for the day: Work with a Will.
Although they [the Israelites] are being ridiculed for rebuilding Judah; the Jews gather, side by side, and work TOGETHER to rebuild their city anyway!
What are you personally working on, in your life, to rebuild? How are you calling on God to help you?
Thursday:
#VerseOfTheDay
Reflection Question for the day: Armed in Faith.
Fearing attack, that they know is coming, the Israelites have armed themselves, while they continue to rebuild. They are determined in mind and in faith to complete this task.
What armor do you “wear” to ward off evil? What work(s) do you continue, in faith, that you are determined to complete?
Friday:
#VerseOfTheDay
Reflection Question for the day: Actions Speak Louder Than Words.
Nehemiah will not accept the governor allowance, nor land; he does his part in rebuilding, since he knows the labor lay heavy on his people. He is a Team Player. He does not set himself apart or above the other Israelites, he is with them.
Reflect for a moment on what kind of Christian are you? Do you practice what you preach? Do you judge others? Do you gossip? Do you do the “right things” even when no one else is looking? Are you living God’s commandments?
