In last Tuesday's craft post, I introduced you to a new devotional coloring book I was working on called "Bless the Lord, O My Soul". I have a few more pages to show you, and then I think I will take a break from this book. I've spent the summer in the book of Psalms, and I feel the need to move into something else. I will also have more time now that gardening season is over, so I can spend it on a more meatier book. I will probably return to this devotional in spring, when gardening season starts again.
Each coloring page also has a corresponding reading page on the opposite side. If you missed last week's post and would like to see that page and learn more in-depth information of this book, just click the link above. For this post, I'm just showing you the coloring pages.
Some pages I enjoy coloring more than others and this was one of them. I have always loved this verse and this is a beautiful illustration of that verse.
This next page is the type of coloring I generally don't like to do. It's not that interesting to color and it really isn't a pleasant scene. But the repetition of the coloring really helps me to focus on the verse.
Here's another one I really enjoyed coloring. The sheep is so cute and of course I love the verse. This verse is always a popular one.
This is such a beautiful verse and page. We need to constantly seek the Lord to guide us and to lead us to His truth. There is so much deception in the world today, only God can help us discern what is true.
What a beautiful illustration and verse! It is so inspiring and comforting. No matter what our circumstance, believers can always take comfort that if they keep their focus on God, He will once again bring us to joy.
I definitely did not enjoy coloring this page 😆. The design is really not my style. But once again, I just focused and mediated on the verse while coloring. I will say the illustrations I least enjoy coloring are usually the easiest to mediate on. Yes, we who put our faith in Jesus are BLESSED indeed!
This one I really enjoyed coloring. What a gorgeous and creative illustration. Oh, and the verse! So good! But I think I could say that about just any verse in the book of Psalms. It is one of my favorite books in the Bible!
Another gorgeous verse and illustration that was a joy to color. I love this verse set as a song too. Do you sing this song in your church?
When troubles strike believers, it drives us to God who is our strong helper.
I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED coloring this page. Isn't this a beautiful illustration of probably the most famous psalm ever? This is another old song that I used to love singing in church. They don't sing it anymore, but I always remember this song giving me comfort. I still sing it to myself at home sometimes.
What about you? Do you remember this song?
This next illustration and verse is so beautiful and meaningful. "Be Still". When worry starts to fill my heart, I hear these soft words "Be Still, and know that I am God". He has it all under control, just surrender it all to Him.
Now normally I would not enjoy coloring an abstract design such as this one, but I think because it is formed in a sun's rays, I kinda liked this one. I think it's a great illustration for this verse too.
I hope my colorful Bible verse pages brought a smile to your face today.
Have A Great Day! Amy

Amy, thanks for the prompt to get out the coloring books again ... this is the time of year when I seem to be drawn back to those quiet evenings with gel pens and a good project to focus on.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome! Yes, me too, sitting in front of a cozy fire!
DeleteHave missed seeing your Bible journaling so this post made my heart sing. What a beautiful coloring book. I am with you, not a big fan of abstract or geometrical designs but the sun illustration is lovely. The page with the deer and the page with the apple are my favorites, I think. Maybe I need to try my hand at a Bible verse coloring book. I haven't Bible journaled in quite a while. I tried using a napkin technique on a Bible page and really, really dislike it!! So that kind of turned me off of the journaling for a while.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Yes, I had to set it aside for a while as it is so time consuming, but like you, I think Bible Journaling is just too difficult and coloring is just more relaxing and serves the same purpose.
DeleteThank you for sharing the second part of this coloring book. I loved seeing all your creations and have added it to my Amazon cart to get in the future!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
