Interlinear Bible: Greek, Hebrew, Transliterated, English, Strong's (biblehub.com) 

An interlinear Bible is a word study tool for those interested in the Bible’s original languages and how the Bible was translated into English (or any other language)1. It is not really a translation, but rather lists the Hebrew or Greek word in one line and below the Hebrew or Greek word is the corresponding English word, or words, that translate the meaning of the original word2. The Interlinear Bible is keyed to the Greek and Hebrew text using Strong’s Concordance3. It allows for each parallel reading and lexicon study.

SESSION NOTES and DOWNLOADS
SESSION HOMEWORK
SESSION 1 HOMEWORK
Good morning, ladies! Homework time! This is such a good Word and timely for us. Listen and reflect on the why. https://youtu.be/lsvKzoRHz14?si=lkxBaTnm0uMuD2aZ  ❤️
SESSION 2 HOMEWORK
Good morning, my lovely friends! Melissa and I had a conversation after class last night; and here is where we went.. Psalm 23 is obviously David's proclamation of the LORD (Yahweh; which is GOD the Father) being his shepherd and how he does that in our existence daily.  Take a look at your life with the LORD, pick a period of time, and write your own proclamation of how God is your shepherd in that circumstance or throughout your relationship with him. Testify to the goodness in the dry desert place, the hard rocky climbs, the provision he has given in times of want. The small, slow running path of living water that saturated your soul.

This is for you and God; so be as open as your heart allows with your descriptions. Is there something right now that you are looking at that you can't see GOD leading, shepherding you? It can be big or can be small. Maybe it is something ongoing on your mind; and you keep pushing back. Write the situation down in detail and share your wouldn't, shouldn't, couldn't, fears, etc.  We may read the Bible, maybe you walked the aisle or knelt beside the bed (mine was a 8-track stereo cabinet in my parent's house) and asked him into your heart and said I believe.

Take a look at this tool https://strongsconcordance.org/ and type in the word, GOD. The scriptures that have GOD in them will come up. You can click on the verse location and see the scripture; and you can click on the number at the end of the line and see what it means.  What has GOD done to warrant giving him the title of your shepherd? God, as our shepherd, leads from the front. He is not pushing us through the brush, thorns, painful rocks, the low valley but going before us and preparing. Pursuing when we get off track, carrying, and disciplining. Look through the scriptures you find and see how that situation changes and allow him to walk you through. ❤️
SESSION 3  HOMEWORK
Go thru the tools in your Session 3 notes and access the tools. Our tool resource list is located above. Be sure and share if you find some new tools. If you want to, look at Psalms 23:4 using one of the tools. You could go to the back of your Bible and search one word or phrase.  If you haven't started last week's homework take a look and start that.

Crystal Benard shared that she was directed by the Holy Spirit to approach her written  proclamation of God using each weeks scripture as her guide. If you are being directed in another way, please follow the Lord's leading. He knows best what He wants for you. ❤️
SESSION 4  HOMEWORK
