HOW I STUDY MY BIBLE: inductively bible journal with me Psalm 23

- How I study the bible inductively while bible journaling is the topic for today! We'll be in Psalm 23 so grab your bibles, separate yourself from distractions and let's dive into today's bible study!
In today's bible study method, I inductively work through Psalm 23 while bible journaling. This is what I do when I am just doing a morning bible study on my own and not really preparing for a lesson or video. So, I still go in-depth but I am more trying to relate and grow on a personal level and therefore get less researchy.... I think y'all know what I mean!
If you're interested in seeing more about how I bible journal or more in-depth bible studies from me, make sure you're subscribed and check out this bible journaling playlist:

Let me know what you'd add to this bible study or what stuck out to you while you were bible journaling with me! The cool thing about bible journaling is it all adds upon itself, so certain words may stick out to me this time, but next time when I come back to it, I may notice something new, which gives a new perspective to my previous notes, which just adds to what I am learning, and it's all because I have those bible journaling notes in my bible to read and reread and build off!
Now, I feel the need to note that just because this is how I study my bible, doesn't mean that you need to also study your bible exactly this way, this is just how my brain works and what works for encouraging MY heart!

One thing I thought about with "I shall not want" is simply being CONTENT in God. Not just being content with God, but IN God. Because if we are content IN God, then everything else just falls into place.
Ooooh so true!
Amen 🙏
Yessss! Great Word ❤
"I shall not want"
The sheep NEVER need to fear or worry because their shepherd gives them EVERYTHING they need!
Thank You, Jesus for being our Shepherd!!! ♥️🙌♥️
I'm 54, I've been a Christian for 44 years and I love your videos. I am mapping Revelation after watching your video on Bible Mapping. I say each New Year, " I'm going to study the Bible more this year. " This year, I'm saying, "I'm will study the Bible better!" I've wanted to learn the things you share through your videos for years! Please keep sharing!
Praise the Lord! Thanks for sharing!
Me makes me lie down…
That phrase pricks my heart every time.
I love the image of safety and rest. The sheep can lay down because they can trust the shepherd.
Faith, I am new to Christianity. I can't express enough how much this has blessed me. Please continue to shares more Bible study tips like this. God bless you!
Thank I’ve been so scared and discouraged lately
That's my childhood prayer and all I know I say it at night and when in sorrow! Scared any time!
This was an amazing study! I really loved it. I decided to go a little deeper on verse 4 "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death," I read a commentary and I really liked what they said about this sections. "One can rightly say we face "the shadow of death" because Jesus took the FULL REALITY of death in our place." Isn't that so cool!? Just thought I should add that. Thanks for this amazing study. :)
LOVE THIS!
Thank you Faith for all of the wonderful insights! This psalm has been on my heart for a while now and then your video popped up. God knew I was needing some more time with it! A few years ago I was told that when it says 'Surely goodness and mercy will follow me' the word in Hebrew for 'follow' could also have been translated as 'pursue' or 'chase'. It reminds me that no matter where I go, even if I am running away, God's goodness and mercy are actively pursuing me all the days of my life.
The Lord is my shepherd...
Usually farm animals are brought and/or born into the farm. We were brought with His precious blood, and we're born (again) so HE is our shepherd. I think about it that way, and it moves me. GB mightily.
Wow, next time the topic comes up, I'm definitely going to remember that connection between David and the other shepherds watching their sheep on those same hills outside of Bethlehem.
I never thought about the part of “walk through the valley of the shadow of death “ to a relationship of emotional struggle yet when you said it i thought of a time God helped me when I was really struggling
I enjoyed journaling with you :)
Wow, I’m so glad this was an encouragement!
I was a shepherd growing up... When we put oil on the sheep it protects them from getting bit by flies and helps them heal if they have sores
I have read Psalm 23 so many times but never really studied it. Thank you! I definitely get so much more out of it.
Loved this journalling of Psalm 23. I have a note in my bible about "anoints my head with oil". Sheep can get their head caught in briers and die trying to get untangled. There are horrid little flies that like to torment sheep by laying eggs in their nostrils which turn into worms and drive the sheep to beat their head against a rock, sometimes to death. Their ears and eyes are also susceptible to tormenting insects. So the shepherd anoints their whole head with olive oil. Then there is peace. That oil forms a barrier of protection against the evil that tries to destroy the sheep. That can be applied to our mental torment. Dr. Jeremiah said the oil would also be used on the shepherd to relieve the hurt of a cut or bruise.
When I was about 15 years old, I wrote a song and one of the lines was "the Lord is my shepherd, it says in Psalm 23. All I do is say that and the devil will let me be." Thank you for reminding me of that. Now it's written in my Bible to remember forever.
Your videos and learning to Bible study (not just trying to read) has really helped me grow to wanting to know more and more about the word! It’s like once I start I don’t want to stop! Thank you!
I'm so glad! Praise the Lord!
Wow this is the best Bible study ever. Please continue to do them. This has been such an eye opener for me. Blessings
Love this video! Thank you for showing how to study inductively ❤. Praying about doing this with either ladies in prison or ladies in the area in need of the Word who are not believers and are in difficult situations ❤❤. I really enjoyed this!!
You have probably heard this, but I recently read that a common reason a shepherd would anoint their sheep with oil was to protect them from the flies and other insects that sometimes get in their face and become a nuisance. The oil repels the insects and helps sooth the sheep so they can become peaceful again.
also Faith the shepherd anoints a sheeps wounds scratches for various reasons too keeps pests out is one reason i always liked
Thank you so much for this video. What a great idea to write the opposite of what it means...I fall into those “depths of despair” moments sometimes. Psalm 23 will inspire me to put my Faith in him.
Yes! Me too! Yesterday I was SOOOO devastated over something that doesn’t even matter today- I get so overwhelmed with things sometimes and I wish I would just stop and preach psalm 23 to myself!
So, just know you’re not the only one! I make videos on it and the next day still forget it! 🤪🤦🏼♀️
I never really thought about the passage that way. Lots to think about 🤔 can’t wait to start receiving your stickers.
I hope it was encouraging!
Yes it was. I am thinking about buying a bible journal But I really like NASB. I guess I could get the NIVkingjames version. I love that version
I just have so many bibles. I need to unload some of them to others but don’t know what to do with them
Thrift stores and old folks homes might be good places to donate them! Or you could give it with some food the next time you cross paths with a homeless person!
@@HowtoFaithALife I just ordered the new NIV Beautiful bible journal. Excited. Can’t wait to get it. 😍
He is enough and always with us.
Amen! So true! Our sweet Shepherd!
I love these
Thank you so much for this video! I just found you today, and I am already blessed so much. I loved you going step by step showing us how you study your Bible. I saw your video on your prayer journaling. Absolutely outstanding! I will need to go back and comment on it! I rarely comment on videos. I will always like and sometimes subscribe. I will definitely be watching more if not all of your videos.
Marla, you just made my day! I am honored and giving the glory to God! That means so much. I make these videos with all my heart, and so to know that they blessed just one person makes it all worth it!
Yes this Ps 23 has been given to me each year last year ps23 vs 6 popped up every where i went this year it was vs 1 and sometimes vs 5....This is the year of the shepards
This was such a precious review that added to what I had noted
So hey Faith I loved this it was very slow and anointing I am sorry I understand you are like me when you talk you are happy and I didn't realize for myself that it was fast so I got so much out to this I am almost in 😭 I love you dearly please continue on cause I read everyday but I want it to stick to me please pray for me cause I also teach Sunday school is the elders and I feel like I am not doing a good job but I have been doing for 4 years I think maybe more
I have heard it before in a sermon by Pastor Jeremy Pearsons
Luke 2. Yiu just took me back to 2nd grade Christmas program. My class recited the birth of Jesus. I’m 62 and I am glad I got to go to a public school where prayer was encouraged.
AND what have I done to deserve all this good stuff? Nothing. I get it BECAUSE I AM HIS!
Amen! Thank you for adding that!
Vs 2-3 is all ABOUT what He, He, He, does. Vs 5-6 directed TO Him as You! It’s like he acknowledges what God does, then puts his reliance on the relationship, being thankful. 💕 Enjoying this bible study moment with you. Blessings❣️
Well said! I love that! Thank you for sharing!
I loved the opposite of Psalm 23 you added! A great reminder for me to not think those things! What stood out to me reading this today was vs 6 when he says, "Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life." This is something I need to think about as I go about my day and everything I worry about kicks into high gear in my head. Another great video, Faith! 💖 Are things looking good for next semester? Still praying for you! 🙏
Oooh that’s so true! Thank you for adding that! 💕❤️thank you!
I am laying bed but tomorrow I will going over this chapter again
I really enjoy these short Bible studies on the Psalms, you definitely open my eyes, on things I’ve read 100 times but now I see them differently! 😊
My mum always taught me to live by this! It's my statement of faith! Powerful!
I love how perfect you are with your imperfection! ❤️
I enjoyed that. You are having an impact . Thanks.
So so so good!!!
It’s February 2021. I am older but have been interested in Bible journaling. I have watched many videos they are so creative and the art reflective of the scripture. Then I began watching your videos and am feeling so blessed and uplifted. You have such a gift presenting God’s Word in a way that moves the emotion I feel and gives me the words I search for to be able to communicate the feeling to others. No one has ever communicated “I shall not want” the knowledge I’ve always had that I feel when I hear those words. I feel comforted that through my faith and trust God will always take care of me. I’m rambling but I’m just so enjoying your studies. Thanking God for the blessing of finding you. ❤️
Wow, praise the Lord! I am so glad it blessed you! 😭❤️
I loved the study! Thank you
Really helps a beginner like myself.
Your videos always enrich my walk with the Lord. Have been binge watching them today. Thanks so much.
I recently found your channel and I am so thankful for your ministry. I've recently started Bible journaling and it's making such a huge impact in my walk with the Lord. Our family lives overseas in a very Catholic/judgmental/unkind to outsiders country and my faith has really struggled lately. It's been so hard to find genuine Christian community.. I loved walking through Psalm 23 with you this morning...and I continued on for another hour after your video. I loved seeing that it was written as a poem that spoke about God in vs. 1-4, spoken to God in vs 4-5 (in the valley) and about God again in vs 6...I'm encouraged to remember that He cares for/shepherds/restores and redeems me. Thank you so much Faith!
Thank You for your time and for sharing your study structure. I like the way you broke down PSALMS 23. I want to learn more about the word of GOD and the calling HE has for us,but I didnt know how to start. I bought a journal and didnt know how to begin. I have watched your videos and i like the way you explain the word and I'm in LOVE with my BIBLE, bible studies and the way I am journaling. I could spend hours and hours of reading. 😍❤🙏📝📖
My cousin shared your video with me and it has changed the way I look at scripture. Thank you for the little videos within your video they really made my heart feel deeper the words. I can’t wait to start bible journaling and watching more of your videos. Thank you so much for sharing 🤗♥️
It’s really cool how we have the same type of Bible. Made this more fun.❤️🙏🏼
Stumbled onto your channel and am loving it.
Thanks for watching!
Wow! Girl this literally restored my soul. THANK YOU for this. I really really appreciate it

Beautiful! Thank you! You are helping me so much with my Bible study.
Happy to help! :) Thanks for watching!
Thank you for the step by step of thus Psalm. I never thought of emotional struggles with this Psalm. Thank you.

Thank you so much for this video. It blessed me so much! I didn’t know that shepherds were looked down in those times ..🙁 yet our Lord shows us how the one and only good shepherd is!🙏🙏
Amen! So true!
I return to his word all the time!! ❤
Enjoyed this
I appreciate this so much!

Another great video. I absolutely love these kind of videos. My Bible is growing with more notes. And I have shared your channel with my mom. Tfs sweetie
Thanks for sharing!! I am so glad this is blessing you!
I'm fairly new to getting closer with The Bible and God. I feel your Bible Study videos are gonna help me a lot through this journey and I want to say thank you for having this content so I, and many others, can share it with you!
I'm so glad! Praise God! That's so cool! I am honored to hear that!
Wow! I learn so much from watching you ! Thank you !!
I'm so glad! That's all God! Praise the Lord!
Thank you
It is an interesting study to do about where the "Valley of the Shadow of Death" actually is, as a location, and how it relates to this part of Psalm 23.
OOOOOOOH now I want to go check that out! Thanks for sharing!
I love journaling with you lot ❤
Thank you! Thanks for watching!
@@HowtoFaithALife welcome i love watching you especially bibles videos love that lots ❤
Thank you so much for this video
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching! :)
I struggle with depression to.
Loved seeing how you did this! xoxo
I’m so glad!
This makes me not afraid of my future
This is a great study! I have not thought about Psalm 23 in a long time. And your message is right on time, my family is in a valley right now. My husbands dad passed away the week before Christmas and its taking a toll on our whole family. I have been praying through it for all of us. It has been really rough.
Oh no! Chanda! I am so sorry. I cannot imagine the pain and sadness you guys must be going through... especially with 2020 being such a rough year and then right before Christmas! Why God? Praying for you and your family RIGHT NOW. Sending a hug, too!
@@HowtoFaithALife Thank you so much. We appreciate your prayers so, so much.❤
Praying over you and your family right now! Just wanted to let you know that!
Amen amen.. great video
I am so glad! Praise the Lord!
I enjoyed this very much. Glad I found your channel. I will continue to watch and learn. Thank you for your efforts in making your videos:) I do find it hard to write on my bible pages . ;) I will watch this again and re-read Psalm 23. :)
Thanks for watching! Welcome to the family!
This has always been my least favorite passage in the Bible. I think because it always reminds me of death, everyone always uses it at funerals. You are the first person to really explain this Psalm and now I look at it completely differently. It's not about death at all it's about how the Lord helps us through our struggles. How he brings us rest, safety, and calm. I will forever replace the word death with the word struggles and by doing just that simple small thing the passage has become a wonderful refuge. Thank you so much for that. Your love for the Word of God is infectious.
Woww..I really love all your videos. Unfortunately I have not read the bible enough, but I just started and your videos are very helpful and you just made me fall in love with psalm 23, I can't imagine what else I'm going to find as I read the bible I can't wait🙌🙌🙌 thank you so much for being so true and genuine, I really appreciate that part too.
Wow! I just teared up! Praise the Lord! That’s all God, not me! So grateful to hear this.
This was my first actual study I did along side you..it is amazing how much more meaning the scripture has when you study it like this! Thank you for this!!
@@sandypaws8 I am so glad!
I love psalms 23 to i read everyday and night it makes me feel so closer to God thanks for that love you 😊
YES! It's so good! I love the idea of reading it every night!
@@HowtoFaithALife i agree with you 100 percent 🙏
I know you made this a year ago but I really needed it today so thank you for making this.
Glad I could help!
I love reading psalms 23 everyday and night it makes me feel so closer to God and it makes me really 😊 thanks for that love you
Love that!
@@HowtoFaithALife love to
Is there a quick guide to Bible marking? I get overwhelmed by trying to organize Bible markings (and I rarely do guided Bible studies that include marking) that I just don't but I think it would be valuable. So having some of those choices already made in my independent study would really help.
Thanks for this video! I recently started journaling in my Bible and began with Psalms 23. I wasn’t sure exactly what to write at first but I love how you go through the scripture and break it down bit by bit so that really helped :D ! I ended up taking many notes from your video aha so Thanku again!!
I was wondering though, is it ok to take notes in my Bible on what others get from the scripture or should it be just my own thoughts and understanding?.. i was thinking of doing a combination of the 2 where some notes are my thoughts and other notes might be notes from say your video that I found interesting or helpful.
Yes! Totally! Just add whatever helps you! Sometimes I write quotes from books or sermons directly next to a passage or on the front page of my bible!
I learned that the shepherds in Luke were likely taking care of the sacrificial lambs and that is why they were the first to be invited to see the Lamb of God.
I think this day and age, we forget how blessed we are. God has provided so much for us and I myself forget this. Life gets away from us. I like it when scripture smacks my heart and tells me to wake up and realize what he has done for me. Because without our Lord, I would be nothing and have nothing.
Aye to the men! So true!
Enjoying the last few hours of 2020 it's currently 1:15am
It’s 4am here! Just got up to edit fridays video! Lol
Thank you for your take on Psalm 23. I have not read it, but it’s on my wishlist- A Shepherd Looks At Psalm 23 by W.Phillip Keller. I heard from a friend that it’s a great book.
Sounds great! I’ll have to check it out
@@HowtoFaithALife It's a great book.
This was so good to see how you study the scripture.
I’m so glad! What exactly was helpful? Everyone keeps saying that and I’m wondering how I can be more helpful in future videos! I knew I could ask you because you know the struggles of youtubers lol!
@@HowtoFaithALife to actually see you walk through the text,asking questions and keeping it in context. My process is similar. I use a notebook so seeing your process is encouraging for me.
@@HelpMamaRemote oh good! Praise the Lord! That’s helpful!
I love this! I needed this! Currently battling COVID. I have been having panic attacks and have been so fearful that either myself or my husband or daughter will end up in the hospital. I will fear no evil and will pray this over myself and family! Praise the Lord!
Amen! Praying this over y’all as well! ❤️💕 I’m so sorry your facing this. It Must be so scary and stressful. He’s got you, even when you don’t feel it! Praying for y’all.
Still praying over you. Praying for healing and no more panic attacks!
It had never occurred to me before that David and the shepherds the angle's proclaimed the birth of Jesus to were probably on the same hillside. It's so logical, but so easily overlooked.
I'm currently trying to work out ways to do Bible study on my digital journal. Im not confident enough to actually call it Bible Journaling. But I'm going to try to do the kinds of thing Electronicly. I draw and write all over my Bible too. This is just a new challenge.
I have been messing around with that and haven't figured out anything I like, quite yet! Keep me posted on your digital journey!
I've always liked the visual of "preparing a table before me in the presence of my enemies". Would sheep be able to eat when wolves are present? Wouldn't they scatter, bleating and trampling each other? Obviously they don't eat at a table, so is my Shepherd telling me to calm down? That not only can my enemies not harm me, they have to stand in frustration and watch me savoring my picnic meal without a care in the world.
Another stellar message! God bless you, my sweet sister! 🙏🏼♥️
PS...I have the interleaved bible, too. Isn’t it just the best?
Yes it is! I am so glad this video was a benefit to you, praise the Lord!
Have you read A Shepherd Looks at the 23rd Psalm by W. Phillip Keller?
One things I like to do when studying is to consider the meaning of colors. GREEN is life, new beginnings,healing, immortality, etc. To get GREEN you must combine YELLOW +BLUE. YELLOW is faith. BLUE is the Word. So to get those GREEN pastures to lie down in, you must have faith +.the Word.
🥰
Did you know that they used to anoint sheep heads with oil to protect it from flies, when I found that out I was amazed
Great video!!! Where do you get your pen pouch from?
Someone gave me it, it’s a Vera Bradley pouch... not sure the name of the pattern!
Just a thought or question…. Didn’t the shepherds anoint the sheep’s head to prevent pesky flys from bothering the sheep? The same way the Holy Spirit helps to keep the pesky thoughts of guilt or self pity…. from bothering us?
I bought the Life Application Study Bible by Tyndall and just discovered it has a different version. Example “The Lord is my Shepherd, I have all that I need” or He lets me rest in green meadows, he leads me beside peaceful streams”. I needed a study Bible and now I’m not so sure this is the right one. As I have always read Psalm 23 as your Bible states. Confused. Thanks for your guidance and you’re a great teacher.
Praise the Lord, and thanks for sharing!
Do u have a tutorial on inductive bible study? A video where u are doing ...writing the study ?
