S.O.A.P. Method

Scripture - Take your time reading and allow God to speak to you. Highlight the scriptures that stand out to you. Write in your journal which meant the most.

Observation - What do you think God us saying to you through this scripture? Ask the Holy Spirit to teach you and to reveal the truth to you. In your journal write the scripture in your own words.

Application - Personalize what you have read. Maybe it's instruction, encouragement, a promise or even correction. How can you apply it to your life? How does it apply to your life right now?

Prayer - Ask God to help you understand and use the scripture, What is he revealing to you? REMEMBER, prayer is a two way conversation, so be sure to listen to God's answer in your heart.
