I am going to use the SOAP Method of reading Scripture over the next 40 days. S is for Scripture. Even though I will be reading one to two chapters each day, I will commit to focusing upon ONE verse. Pick one to two verses out . . . be specific.

O is for Observation. I will write a brief observation about the one to two passages I have focused upon.

A is for Application. What is God saying to me specifically in these two passages? I will write down how it applies specifically to me.

P is for Prayer. Finally, I will say a prayer regarding what I have read and how it is to be applied to my life.

Then, I’m done.

I hope you journal your journey . . . I’d like to compare notes sometime.
