Journaling Psalm 62:5,6 and Freebie Digital Stamp for you.

May 24, 2026

Today's Bible journaling is on Psalm 62:5,6. I've had these verses written on a piece of paper for a few days, working on memorizing the passage. It is a great comfort in times of stress; it brings to mind that the Lord is my fortress and my rock, He is the Alpha and Omega, and the Righteous King.

Visually interpreting the Word of God is something I take seriously and enjoy very much, and I want my art, or my use of other art, to always honor Him. Finding or creating an image can be challenging. I am not skilled at drawing or lettering, which is why I started rubber stamping in the first place!

I'll show you the page, and if you're interested in the process and freebie, keep reading.

This is my Crossway ESV Journaling Bible

I have a few that I am currently working through. This is my first specific journaling bible. I started this one in 2017. It is a smaller size; the page is only 8" high. Because it is small, I haven't used it very much. I wasn't sure about enlarging this image and felt the smaller size would be better.

My first image choice was a vintage Tin Can Mail stamp

It wasn't the best image for it, but I liked the Arch

The first image I inked up and printed looked terrible. I tried again and got the same result. So I turned the stamp over and found the problem: The rubber was damaged. It looks like it is melted. I have no Idea how that happened - I have had the stamp probably 15 years.

I went into my digital stamp storage files under Castles and found one I really liked.

A word here on Digitals: This one came from a Dover Publications book, one of many, a series of images. I probably have 50 of these books, each of which contains usually 250+ images. They are all on CD's and have all the graphic file types. These are all art images in the Public Domain category - copyright-free. I purchased these between 1998 and 2008, and they are a treasure to me!

On the right of this picture is the original "stamp", on the left is the stamp I cropped to fit my bible and verse. The verse is in Black Chancery font. The image worked up in Publisher, Word is also great for making these "stamps".
