A simple way to get more from your time in God's word
What is S.O.A.P.?
S.O.A.P. stands for Scripture, Observation, Application and Prayer. It is a way of getting more out of your time in God's word. We did not invent it, we just decided to make a website to make it easier to do.
How does it work?
It's quite simple. When you sit for your daily quiet time read the bible as you normally would with one simple difference. Underline or make note of any verses that jump out at you with special significance. This is the basis for diving deeper and using S.O.A.P.
Now comes the cool part. Login and create a new SOAP entry. There are four fields to fill in and I bet you can guess what they are:
Scripture
Type in the verse or verses that stuck out to you in your reading. You can show the verses and even have them read to you
with the click of a button. No copying and pasting blocks of text.
Observation
What did you observe about the scripture that struck you. This can be one sentence or a whole book.
Application
How can you apply the observation so that it affects your life today.
Prayer
Write out a prayer to God based on what you just learned and ask him to help you apply this truth in your life.
Thats all there is to it!

Others on S.O.A.P.
It's a great way to delve more deeply into your Bible reading, and record your thoughts, emotions and connections when
studying scripture. S.O.A.P. is meant to be a journal you create with your regular Bible reading, using the process as you
read each day, but it can also be an effective tool to help you connect with particular passages.
