The SOAP Method of Study
SOAP is short for Scripture, Observation, Application and Prayer and is a simple way to approach your personal devotion time with God.
Here's what you need:
-
Bible. Be sure to get a Bible translation you can understand. AStudy Bible is a great start. It contains footnotes, definitions, a concordance, and other tools to help you understand the Scriptures.
-
Journal. This is your Spiritual DVR. It helps you capture and record all of the good stuff God wants to speak into your life.
-
Pen. Obviously, so you can write stuff down.
-
Scratch Pad. This is to write down all those little annoying things that creep in while you're trying to focus on God's voice. Make a "To Do" list of things for later.
Here's what you do: Very simply, carve out a quiet time each day. During this time, go through your daily reading this way:
1. S for Scripture
Take time reading and allow God to speak to you. Highlight, underline or place a mark in the margin of your bible next to the scriptures that stand out. When you are done, reread the verses you marked, look for one that particularly spoke to you that day, and write it in your journal.
2. O for Observation
What do you think God is saying to you in this scripture? Ask the Holy Spirit to teach you and reveal Jesus to you. Paraphrase and write this scripture down in your own words in your journal.
3. A for Application
Personalize what you have read by asking yourself how it applies to your life right now. Perhaps it is instruction, encouragement, revelation of a new promise or corrections for a particular area of your life. Write how this scripture can apply to you today.
4. P for Prayer
This can be as simple as asking God to help you use this scripture, or it may be a greater insight on what He may be revealing to you. Remember, prayer is a two-way conversation, so be sure to listen to what God has to say!
My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the LORD!
-Psalm 104:34

Some Parting Fun....

Pastor John, an avid golfer, was once taking part in a local tournament. As he was preparing to tee off, the organizer of the tournament approached him and pointed to the dark, threatening storm clouds which were gathering.
"Preacher," the organizer said, "I trust you'll see to it that the weather won't turn bad on us."
The pastor shook his head. "Sorry," he replied. "I'm sales, not management!
