It is said that you can tell where oneâs heart resides by the things (or people) he or she spends the most time and money. Itâs a very true statement but can I be honest? As I type this I feel conviction in my spirit. As a woman of God, I say (and truly believe) that God is the most important in my life. But is that reflecting in my time with him? Do I talk to him daily and allow time of silence so I can truly hear His voice when he responds? What about my time in His word. Can that be better?
Absolutely.
However, in all transparencyâI knew that I had to do more than simply read. I had to STUDY. I did a bit of research on how to truly study the Word of God as a beginner (meaning a newbie at truly studying and digesting the context of Godâs word). While searching, I found this amazing method called SOAP.
The acronym, SOAP means âScripture, Observation, Application, Prayer.â How amazing is that? It helps the people like me create a bit of focus and structure to my study time. I seek a scripture that I want to set my mind on for the day, and follow the soap method to go a bit deeper into my time with God. Itâs helped me a lot with doing more than just readingâbut truly finding ways to apply what Iâm reading to my life.
What methods do you use to study the Bible?
