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

O: Observation
Read James 3:13–18 again.
- What stands out to you?
- What does it teach us about how we should act?
- What questions do you still have?
A: Application
- Who's someone you have a difficult time not competing with or trying to be better than?
- What in your life needs to change to be a better reflection of who Jesus is?
- How do you think God's story can impact your actions?
P: Prayer
Spend some time in prayer about an attitude you need to change to reflect Jesus better. Ask for help putting others first and not trying to be better than someone you compare yourself to. Then, say thank you for all the ways God's story provides wisdom.
