Bible Marginalia- Oh, Elijah!

Bible Marginalia Series- #122

The Old Testament reading

 from worship this past week was

 1 Kings 19:1-18.

Mama and her girls 

had a Bible Journaling morning this week.

 We read the Scripture 

and marveled at the various phrases

 and words that stood out in
 "bold type" for each of us.

Same section of Scripture.

 Four very different margins and

"take aways".

Daughter One- 

an attentive God that takes care

 of our needs and He invites us to REST

and be strengthened for our work-

 from our REST.

(Washi tape, colored pencil, 

fern and Alpha stamps, Sharpie fine-point pen and Alphas)

Daughter Two-

 A Broom tree bloom

 reminds us to not rest on our own strength-

for the journey is too great.

 A sign of the Lord passing by.

(Washi tape, Prisma colored pencils, Zig memory pen,

Tim Holtz chit chat)

Daughter Three-

Not once but TWICE- 

an ANGEL touched him.

Not a normal day Elijah-

 you getting that by now?

(Arrow stamp, Target Acrylic paint, 

Rebekah Meier Mini Gothic Romance stencil,
colored pencil, Zig memory pen)

and Mama-
Oh, Elijah!
 You forgot the confidence
 you had in the Lord
 when you defeated the prophets of Baal.
Don't listen to the LOUD threat of Jezebel.
Remember how BIG your GOD is.

Often God's voice to us
 won't come in a big way-

 the earthquake, or the strong wind, or fire.

It might be a low whisper-

a THIN SILENCE.

WE must have quiet time to HEAR 

the Whisper in the Whirlwind of LIFE.

(Washi tape, Heidi Swapp embellishment, chalk ink,

Alpha stickers, bird and arrow stamp, 

Tim Holtz Chit Chat, colored pencil, Staedtler pigment liner pen)

One section of Scripture.

Four margins.

All Grace, Goodness and Blessing.

When we gather-the FOUR of us.

Valuable. And not very often.

Marked by the Lord's touch to our hearts-

Together.

Praise and thanksgiving to the LORD.
