Framework
VOL. I: BUILD YOUR LIFE
This journal is designed to help you build your identity on the foundation of who God is. It’s a Bible study that you can keep in your back pocket…literally.
Overview
On each page spread of Framework is an “I am not” statement, along with three short Scripture passages that help provide a deeper understanding of how that statement describes who God is. You’ll work through your response to that, based on what Scripture is telling you. There’s room for writing notes, thoughts, and prayers as you cross-reference your way through the Bible. Then, you’ll see a few longer Scripture passages that tie together context and big-picture concepts. Each spread concludes with a specific identity factor that you are building on the framework of who God is. The end of each Framework journal also includes blank pages for any other notes you want to jot down.
Some examples:
I am not the provider. He is. (Building Trust)
I am not enough. He is. (Building Dependence)
I am not fearless. He is. (Building Courage)
I am not all-powerful. He is. (Building Meekness)
I am not invincible. He is. (Building Vulnerability)
The inspiration
Following the To Choose Joy vision of helping people to strategically place biblical truth where they need it most, specifically on-the-go, I wanted to create a resource that would be easy to incorporate into our existing routines. encouraging us to search out Scripture and focus on Jesus, no matter where we go.
“Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain,” (Psalm 127:1a ESV).
My husband and I have loved working through Framework on our own and then coming back together to talk about what God is teaching each of us.
“Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it,” (Matthew 7:24-27 ESV).
