Golden Verses – Wonderful Nuggets of Truth

This has to be one of the easiest things to do when reading your Bible. The hardest will be choosing just one for your Golden Verses!

The ‘How-to’ for Finding and Marking Golden Verses:-

Whilst reading a chapter of the Bible, whether as part of your Devotional time or during a Bible Study, pick out a verse from each chapter that means the most to you as you read. It could be one that speaks directly to your ‘heart’. It may be a verse that stops you in your tracks. Perhaps a verse that you just don’t remember ‘seeing before’ even though you have read that particular chapter a proverbial ‘dozen’ times?! These Golden Verses are nuggets of Truth too valuable to lose track of.

So underline it or draw a box around it. I like to use a gold coloured pencil for this or yellow. The more chapters you read the more verses will be marked. When you have read the whole of your Bible, you will see verses marked throughout your Bible that mean something especially to you. You can add a symbol in the margin if that helps. Try drawing the outline of a key

STEP THE GOLDEN VERSES METHOD UP – TRY THESE IDEAS

• CHANGE THE COLOUR –
  Read right through the Bible? When you start to read it again use a different colour. It may surprise you that you find other verses to mark. And after five ‘read-throughs’ using a different colour each year, you will have a visual record of how God has used His Word in different ways and at different times to speak to you.
  Be sure to note the year with a block of colour inside the cover of your Bible and so track your journey
• WRITE IT OUT – Record your chosen verse either in a separate Notebook or as part of your Personal Bible Index – you can read how to make one HERE
• USE YOUR VERSE – Memorize the verse you mark each day. Keeping a record of the verse as in the previous step will help you not only have an Index of the verse you memorize but also a handy way to review and refresh your memory of verses learnt
• MAGNIFY! – Not literally! But try looking deeper into the meaning of your chosen verse. Do a Mini Bible Study. Look up the cross references in the margin, and research word meanings, to gain a greater understanding of the verse
