Happy September! I can’t believe I just said that. My favorite season is almost here! *tosses leaves in the air* And it’s time to bring back this wonderful quote:
Ah, September! You are the doorway to the season that awakens my soul.” —Peggy Toney Horton
There are so many reasons I’m excited for September—falling leaves, first pumpkin spice latte of the year & this month’s dark academia themed Little Bible Plan! Keep reading to learn more. Download for free at the bottom of this post in English, Spanish & German.
LITTLE BIBLE PLAN
This month we’ll be wrapping up our epic study of 2 Samuel. If you weren’t here for August’s plan, no worries at all—you’re more than welcome to jump in! We’ll also finish out the month by reading a few Psalms that David wrote during the events of 2 Samuel.
If you need help understanding the passages or just want to go deeper in your study, I highly recommend the commentaries on Enduring Word! (These are the same commentaries from Blue Letter Bible, but I feel like they’re easier to navigate on this website. Whatever works best for you!)
DARK ACADEMIA IDEAS
If you’ve never heard of dark academia before, there are many different ways to describe it, but it’s basically an aesthetic and a style that focuses on a love for knowledge—reading, writing, learning & studying. A quick search on Pinterest will show you dark, moody tones, tweed jackets, flickering candles & old libraries. (There’s also light academia, which is the same idea but with a softer and brighter theme.)
ac·a·de·mi·a
noun
the part of society, especially universities, that is connected with studying and thinking, or the activity or job of studying.
And since this aesthetic revolves around a love for studying & learning, I thought—what better book to love studying than the Word of God?
As always, these ideas are just for fun, so feel free to do as many or as little as you’d like. Here are some examples you’ll find:
- Use a journal with your study this month.
- Drink coffee or tea with your Bible study.
- Decorate your study space with candles or books.
- Learn a Bible verse in a different language.
+ more!
Beyond all the fun and aesthetics, my greatest hope is that this plan will inspire in you (and me!) a greater love for reading & studying the Word of God. Because His Word is alive, and through it He speaks to us, teaches us more about His heart & draws us into closer fellowship with Him!
