devotional: the bible is a treasure map

the joy of studying scripture

Picture this – we’re sipping coffee together, and I’m sharing something that has brought me immense joy: studying the Bible. It’s not a task; it’s a journey of discovery and a deeper understanding of our Creator. The Bible is more than a book; it’s a treasure map to the heart of God. Each word and verse contains lessons, wisdom, and a deeper understanding of our Creator. In 2 Timothy 3:16-17, we’re told that “All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and training in righteousness.”

The Joy of Bible Study

Studying the Bible is not a task but a joy. Approach it with a heart open to discovering God’s love and wisdom. Dive into your studies, and let the words of the Bible guide your life.

Bible study is a journey that never ends. It’s a path of growth, understanding, and a closer relationship with God. Continue to study the Bible, and let it be a source of inspiration and guidance in every aspect of your life.

Bible Verses for Reflection:
  1. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 – “All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.”
  2. Psalm 119:105 – “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.”
  3. Psalm 119:11 – “I have stored up your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you.”
Questions for Reflection:
  1. What role does the Bible play in your life, and how does it bring you joy and understanding?
  2. How can you make Bible study a source of daily inspiration rather than a mere task?
  3. What is a particular passage or verse that has deeply impacted your life or provided you with guidance?

  • This time last year, the Lord started challenging the thought of pausing our homeschooling journey. Honestly… I wasn’t happy about it because it wasn’t part of my plan. Even the kids weren’t fully on board at first. 🥹

If I’m being honest, part of me felt like I was losing. Homeschooling isn’t easy, and after years of pouring into our kids, I wrestled with whether putting them in school meant I had somehow failed them.

But somehow through all the emotions, questions, and transitions, we made it through their first year in school.

And wow… proud is an understatement.

Each of them shattered every stereotype people love to place on homeschooled kids. They shined bright, made meaningful friendships, adapted with courage, and walked into new spaces fully themselves.

This year reminded me that what is poured into our kids at home goes with them wherever they go. Everything we’ve prayed over them, spoken over them, and believed about them showed up in real time.

Watching them succeed didn’t make me feel like I had failed. It reminded me that this season wasn’t the end of something. It was evidence that God had been faithful through all of it. ❤️

  • It’s only fitting to have an interview with the Champion 😂 - just in case you’re ready to enter into the pencil fighting ring one day 👀
  • Learned how to pencil fight from what appears to be a retired middle school pencil-fighting champion. His technique was oddly specific… like this man definitely had a reputation in 7th grade 😂✏️

  • Random Friday thoughts… because I can’t shop anyone’s like it at this point 😒
  • Someone recently asked me when I realized I had experienced agape love… and honestly, my first thought was my mom and my sister.

Life has held its share of complicated chapters, and I know what it’s like to navigate distance and hard seasons. Getting older and healing has a way of adjusting the lens. Hindsight really does show you the gifts that were there all along.

This weekend we celebrated my sister’s birthday, and looking back at this photo of us as kids, I’m reminded how precious it is to grow up and realize your big sister is truly your best friend.

Some love doesn’t need to be loud to be deep. I’m really grateful. #sistersister
