When you wash, use SOAP

Found this on christianforums.com and thought you guys might be interested! I'm going to get a notebook this week and start doing this technique. It's not enough just to read Scripture, we have to find a way to make it part of everyday life!


it's a journaling technique called S.O.A.P. It works like this:

?S? Scripture. Select and write a scripture of your daily reading.
?O? Observation. Write a personal observation from the selected scripture.
?A? Application. Write a description of a way to apply this to your life today.
?P? Prayer. Write a little prayer.

it?s just a tool that can help studying. For me, sometimes its 15 minutes and other times an hour. I just follow what the Lord has for me that day and follow the pen. You will find you can go back to these later and learn about your "heart condition." It is simple and amazing.

if you want you can select a section or chapter. then fallow the journal s.o.a.p

Thanks for this inspirational information! It's a great idea. It's always good to apply Scripture to your life. Like I always pray to read, understand, remember, and apply scripture. This will help that. Cool!

Bumping this up because it's so useful. I would make it a sticky, but we already have a lot of stickies and I wouldn't want to make them moot by having every post be stickied...
