Use your Bible with the Bookmark, buy one of the chronological ones, use the Bible App and purchase the Reader’s Guide to use in your daily reading & studying.

LEARN THE WORD

• As you read through Genesis – what do you see that you didn’t see before?  How does that change you?
• What do you discover new about God as you read through Genesis? His holiness?  His compassion?  His sovereign plan?  His creation? 
• How do you see yourself in the story of Genesis? How can you identify with the stories or characters?

LOVE THE WORD

• How do you see God’s great love throughout the book of Jesus? How does it make you love God more? 
• Make time to mediate on the Word and upon Jesus – Who He Is; What He is done, and What He is doing right now in your life – Fall more in love with Jesus as you read and digest His Words to you!!

LIVE THE WORD

• Be willing to share what you learn with others that you come in contact with – don’t just get the Word in you, but also get it out of you!!
• Identify the Place in your life right now where you need to be Obedient and respond in Faith. Will you Hear His Call?  Will You Believe?  Will you Obey?  Right it down
