Reading the Bible can feel intimidating sometimes. But one simple way of studying Scripture is called S.O.A.P. It stands for "Scripture," "Observation," "Application," and "Prayer." We'll show you how—it's easy!
S: Scripture
If you haven't already, read today's passage of Scripture. Then summarize it in your own words.
O: Observation
Read Romans 12:1–2 again.
- What stands out to you?
- What does it teach us about how our minds and our actions are connected?
- What questions do you still have?
A: Application
- What do you need God to transform in your life?
- How can you live your life as an act of worship today?
- How do you think your understanding of God could change if you do?
P: Prayer
Spend some time in prayer about an area of your life that needs transformation. Invite God to help you break old habits or attitudes. As you pray, make a short list of the people and actions that can help you follow through on your decision.
