[IMAGE CONTENT] 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 Micah 7:18–19 again. * What stands out to you? * What word pictures are used in it to describe God's approach to sin? * What questions do you still have? A: Application * What do you think about God being so willing to forgive that your sins could be thrown into the sea? What messages have you heard that might make this hard to believe? * What's a mistake you've made that you need to let go of? What would it look like for you to move on? * Is there anything you need to ask for forgiveness for or offer forgiveness to someone else for? P: Prayer Spend some time in prayer talking to God about mistakes or wrongs you want removed from your life. Ask for forgiveness and for help, trusting that God sees you free of these things. Then, say thank you for the grace and mercy God gives.
