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 Zephaniah 3:14–17 again.
- What imagery is used to describe how God feels about us?
- What directions are given to the original readers of this passage?
- What questions do you still have?
A: Application
- What does it mean for God to rejoice over you with singing? How does that make you feel?
- God used the prophet Zephaniah to share the good news of God's feelings toward the people of Israel. Who's someone who shares God's truth with you? Who's someone you can encourage with God's words?
- How does knowing what God feels about you change how you view your ability to rely on others?
P: Prayer
Spend some time in prayer about the change God can bring to your life. Talk to God about what scares you or brings you down, and ask for help seeing yourself the way God sees you. Thank God for "singing over you" in every season.

About this Plan
Christmas is one of those holidays that feels timeless. It's a season that invites us to be nostalgic and think about memories from Christmases past. In this 4-week devotional series from Grow Curriculum, we'll take a look at the Christmas story to see how something we may have heard long ago can still help us grow today.
