How to Use Notes

This is a guide in using fill in the blank notes, free notes, and what you can do with them.

First off, sometimes we will have fill in the blank options for you. These will look like this:

Reveal Answer

If you type something up there that is incorrect, the blue line will turn red, and give you the option to reveal the answer. You can do that or type the correct response and the line will turn green.

Secondly, you can type in whatever notes you want using the icon that looks like the one below this statement on the right.


Whatever you type on that, will stay in your own personal note!

Lastly, you can send yourself your note to your email to save. We recommend you doing this because we will need to update the notes each week.

“Walk with the wise and become wise; associate with fools and get in trouble.”
—Proverbs 13:20, NLT


“Rehoboam went to Shechem, where all Israel had gathered to make him king. When Jeroboam son of Nebat heard of this, he returned from Egypt, for he had fled to Egypt to escape from King Solomon. The leaders of Israel summoned him, and Jeroboam and the whole assembly of Israel went to speak with Rehoboam. “Your father was a hard master,” they said. “Lighten the harsh labor demands and heavy taxes that your father imposed on us. Then we will be your loyal subjects.” Rehoboam replied, “Give me three days to think this over. Then come back for my answer.” So the people went away.”
—1 Kings 12:1–5, NLT


“Then King Rehoboam discussed the matter with the older men who had counseled his father, Solomon. “What is your advice?” he asked. “How should I answer these people?” The older counselors replied, “If you are willing to be a servant to these people today and give them a favorable answer, they will always be your loyal subjects.””
—1 Kings 12:6–7, NLT


“But Rehoboam rejected the advice of the older men and instead asked the opinion of the young men who had grown up with him and were now his advisers. “What is your advice?” he asked them. “How should I answer these people who want me to lighten the burdens imposed by my father?””
—1 Kings 12:8–9, NLT


“The young men replied, “This is what you should tell those complainers who want a lighter burden: ‘My little finger is thicker than my father’s waist! Yes, my father laid heavy burdens on you, but I’m going to make them even heavier! My father beat you with whips, but I will beat you with scorpions!’ ””
—1 Kings 12:10–11, NLT
