Mom’s Toolbox is an excellent site to get inspired to dig into your Bible and be fed by the Word of God. Amy runs the site and she recently hosted a “Read the Bible in 90 days Challenge”.
I did try to keep with the Bible in 90 but I have to say that I fizzled out about Day 8 because my life went crazy for awhile. I really wanted to get back into the Word in my quiet times so I was excited to see her new challenge to “Blog through the Gospels”.
Thanks to Amy and Samantha for sharing this journey!
I will be using Amy’s SOAP method. This is how she explains it:
So, what is this SOAP? Well, I’m glad you asked…
It is a simple way to read through the Lord’s word, pray and reflect on just what He might be telling you in that passage.
All you need for your study/ journaling time is a Bible, notebook, pen and about 20 minutes, depending on the length of your passage.
Here’s what I do:
Pray, asking God to guide me through His Word and clear my mind of distractions.
Read the passage and find the one thing I believe God is telling me that morning. Then I journal about it using the acrostic SOAP as a guide.
