I am currently doing my study on the Book of Proverbs and a very good question was just asked of me by my oldest daughter. Why do I mark up my Bible? Why all the colors? I use several highlighter colors when I mark things in my Bible during study.
- Blue for things that we are commanded to do, or need to do.
- Yellow for things that are promised to us.
- Orange for things that God does, whether to those who follow him, or those who do not.
- Green for things that we are to avoid altogether, or that people do that God cannot stand.
I explained this to her, and I am not sure she may have understood it or not, but it is my hope and prayer that a seed was planted, that she would start her own study soon.
So tell me, do you mark your own Bible? What colors do you use and why?
Have a blessed day!

I'm glad you're studying and using a highlighter, that your kids see this clearly, and that you're proclaiming it to all. Keep it going.
