Scripture Writing Plans for the Whole Year — March
What is the purpose of scripture writing?
Spending just ten minutes each day writing and meditating on scripture can help you retain both the passage and its meaning.
Scripture writing is a simple yet powerful practice that deepens your understanding of God’s Word and strengthens your spiritual walk.
This March Scripture Writing Plan focuses on the theme of “Trust in God.”
Special thanks to Corey Schissler for sharing scripture writing.
For those interested in using a special journal for daily scripture writing, Amazon offers a variety of options, including hardbound, spiral-bound, and paperback journals specifically designed for scripture journaling.
The Cure for a Tired Heart
Robert Harper II
February 02, 2026
We live in a time when one doesn’t have to look far to find discouragement. It isn’t confined to one group, personality type, or season of life. No matter how intentional we are about avoiding it, discouragement still seems to know our address. Even the most optimistic, confident, faith-filled person has felt its weight.
I’ve learned that discouragement often targets dreamers, goal-setters, leaders, parents or anyone striving toward something meaningful. The enemy understands something about the human soul: discouragement breeds frustration, frustration breeds spiritual fatigue, and fatigue often creates space for failure.
So what’s the remedy?
Hebrews 12:3 says:
“Consider Him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.”
Scripture invites us to consider Christ and dwell on Him, reflect on Him, rehearse His endurance. This isn’t passive thinking; it’s spiritual resistance. It’s getting in agreement with God. When we fix our eyes on Jesus, we fortify our hearts against weariness, frustration, and the quiet temptation to quit.
Jesus is essentially saying:
Before you give up on what is worthy, consider the One who has considered you.
Action step:
Take time this week to intentionally get in agreement with God when you feel tempted toward discouragement.
ANOINT
What Is the Biblical Significance of Anointing?
In the Old Testament, anointing with oil was used ceremonially to set apart special roles, especially those of prophets (1 Kgs. 19:16), priests (Ex. 28:41), and kings (1 Sam. 9:16).
The most common Hebrew word for “anoint” is mashah, from which comes the term Messiah.
The Greek word for “anoint” is chrio. The word Christ derives from that root.
Jesus becomes the “anointed One” (Acts 10:38) because in him are combined the roles of:
Prophet – (John 4:19; Acts 3:22ff)
Priest – (Zechariah 6:12-13; Hebrews 3:1)
King – (Matthew 2:2; Luke 1:32-33; Acts 2:30ff)
As prophet, Christ is the spokesman for God (John 1:18).
As priest, he offered his blood for atonement (Hebrews 9:14).
As king, he reigns at the right hand of God (1 Peter 3:22).
