Infinitum: Inspect Philippians 3Sample

Remember, INSPECT provides a simple, customized means of optimizing your time in God’s Word. Each letter in the word INSPECT represents something for which you’ll look in today’s passage:

I - Insight to gain

N - nugget of the passage

S - sin to avoid or confess

P - promise to claim

E - example to follow

C - command to obey

T - truth to know

Invent your own legend (map) so that whenever you come across one of these components, you mark your Bible appropriately. For example, whenever you find a promise to claim, you might highlight it yellow; a sin to avoid/confess might be highlighted red; an example to follow could be highlighted green; a command to obey with blue, and so on. Work out your own legend and mark the chart above.

If you are working on paper, you might decide that whenever you find a promise to claim, you will double underline it; a sin to avoid/confess might be marked by a circle; an example to follow could be identified by a squiggly underline; a command to obey with a box. Work out your own legend and mark the chart above.

First, you pray. Ask God to reveal His will in this passage. Then, you take our passage and read it. Then read it again, looking for an insight to gain—mark it (according to your legend—purple highlight or underline or...). Read it again for each of the other components. Then pray it through.

Remember that we are gazing through the Infinitum lens of Surrender, Generosity, and Mission.

The Infinitum: Inspect Philippians 3 reading plan has one more day left. Look for ways to apply what God is revealing to you in the text.
