Here are some suggestions and reasons for studying the Bible and writing notes, whether you are going to keep note cards, a Bible study journal, prayer journal or other records of your individual bible study and quiet time with the Lord.
Decide on the chapter you will read. It is better to read a whole chapter, to get the full story rather than taking verses out of context. Ask the Holy Spirit to guide you and reveal the scriptures to you.
Write down what stood out in the passage, what has touched your heart.
Explain creatively what happens as a result of those events in your reading, as many scriptures involve a cause and effect. For instance: Eph. 6:2 - "Honor your father and mother that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth, including how it applies to your own life."
Make notes about the meanings and lessons drawn from Bible songs (Psalms). The Psalms will assist you to worship God and sing songs to Him.
Write down the concepts/ideas communicated by the inspired scriptures, and use details and thoughtful comments to express your understandings:
Think about, and explain in your notes, reasons why the text(s) you are reading are especially "profitable"; consider making notes about your knowledge and understanding of concepts such as: doctrine, reproof, correction, instruction in righteousness, being perfect (complete), being thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
