Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established. | Proverbs 16:3
Bible journaling is an enriching way to connect with Scripture, allowing you to reflect deeply on God’s Word while documenting your spiritual journey. Whether you’re a seasoned journaler or just starting, the right supplies can make all the difference.
In this post, we’ll explore essential Bible journaling supplies, their purpose, and how they enhance your experience. Plus, we’ll share details about our Bible Journaling Kits, designed to simplify your journey.
Why Bible Journaling Supplies Matter
Enhances Your Bible Study
Using tools like highlighters and sticky notes makes Bible journaling interactive. Highlighting key verses or jotting down reflections helps you engage with Scripture in a deeper way. As Proverbs 16:3 reminds us, committing our work to the Lord establishes our thoughts. Journaling supplies support this process by making it easier to focus and reflect.
Helps You Focus on God’s Word
Writing out verses or doodling related images helps you slow down and concentrate on Scripture. This mindfulness strengthens your connection to God’s Word, allowing it to settle in your heart and mind.
Tracks Your Spiritual Growth
Your Bible journal becomes a personal record of your journey with God. Looking back on past reflections or highlights shows how His faithfulness has carried you through different seasons of life.
Encourages Creativity and Self-Expression
Bible journaling supplies like colored pens and sticky flags give you the freedom to explore Scripture creatively, helping you make personal connections and understand passages on a deeper level.
Essential Bible Journaling Supplies
Highlighters
Highlighters are great for marking key themes or promises in Scripture. Choose soft or pastel tones to keep your Bible pages easy to read while drawing attention to meaningful verses.
Pens and Markers
Colored pens and markers allow you to write reflections, add doodles, or emphasize key points. They’re ideal for creating a visual representation of your thoughts and prayers.
Sticky Notes and Flags
Sticky notes are perfect for documenting quick thoughts or additional insights that don’t fit in the margins of your Bible. Flags help you track themes or specific verses for future reference.
Magnetic Bookmarks
Magnetic bookmarks hold your place while adding a touch of beauty to your Bible. They’re functional and a joy to use, keeping your study materials organized.

Make Bible Journaling a Habit
