Tutorial Tuesday {Devos}

Hello friends! Today's tutorial isn't going to be crafty! I am going through some things physically and haven't had time to prepare a good craft tutorial, so I am going to show you how I do devotions....hope that's OK! :)

S.O.A.P.

S

for Scripture
Open your Bible to the reading found under today's date of your Bible bookmark. Take time reading and allow God to speak to you. When you are done, look for a verse that particularly spoke to you that day, and write it in your journal.

O

for Observation
What do you think God is saying to you in this scripture? Ask the Holy Spirit to teach you and reveal Jesus to you. Paraphrase and write this scripture down in your own words, in your journal.

A

for Application
Personalize what you have read, by asking yourself how it applies to your life right now. Perhaps it is instruction, encouragement, revelation of a new promise, or corrections for a particular area of your life. Write how this scripture can apply to you today.

P

for Prayer
This can be as simple as asking God to help you use this scripture, or it may be a greater insight on what He may be revealing to you. Remember, prayer is a two way conversation, so be sure to listen to what God has to say! Now, write it out.

So, get yourself a wonderful, cute, inviting journal and S.O.A.P. away! It really does make you feel {clean} after you're done!

I'll be the first to admit I don't get to this every day! It doesn't really take that much time and if you do it in the morning you can meditate on the scripture all day. Tape it to your computer screen at work, tape it to your dashboard in your car, write it on your forehead so when you look in the mirror you see it! {ok...I'm just kidding, but you get the point}

Happy Tuesday everyone!

p.s. this is not my original idea...I did NOT come up with this...just want to encourage! :)
