Fall is in the air, and September feels like the perfect time to refresh your Bible study routine. 🍂 Whether you’re diving into a new devotional, starting a Bible-in-a-year plan, or just cozying up with your favorite passages, adding scripture highlighting to your study time can make all the difference.
Highlighting isn’t just about color—it’s about creating a deeper connection with God’s Word. With the right system, your Bible becomes a vibrant map of your spiritual journey. Ready to get started? Let’s talk about some must-have scripture highlighting tips that will inspire you this month!
Why Highlighting Matters
Focus: Helps you quickly identify key themes during study or devotion.
Clarity: Organizes your thoughts so verses don’t get lost on the page.
Memory Aid: Color associations can help you recall scripture more easily.
Personalization: Turns your Bible into a living reflection of your walk with Christ.
September’s Must-Have Scripture Highlighting Tips
1. Pick a Color Code That Works for You
Choose 4–6 colors to represent themes like:
Pink = God’s love
Yellow = Promises
Green = Growth & obedience
Blue = Wisdom
Orange = CommandsKeep it simple—you want to enjoy studying, not stress about the system.
2. Use Gentle Tools
Opt for Bible-safe highlighters or pastel pens to avoid bleed-through. Gel pens and mildliners are popular choices for a reason!
3. Add Notes in the Margins
Don’t just highlight—write! Jot down prayers, reflections, or applications next to your verses. It adds context when you revisit passages later.
4. Create a Monthly Highlighting Focus
For September, maybe your theme is gratitude. Mark every verse that mentions thankfulness or praise, and see how God speaks to you through repetition.
5. Combine Highlighting with Journaling
After your study, transfer your favorite highlighted verses into a journal page. You can decorate, doodle, or add stickers to make it creative and memorable.
