Using SOAP to read Scripture
S.O.A.P. is an acronym for Scripture, observation, application and prayer. It’s a powerful tool that moves you from the text into the reality of your life. Using this method consistently will make it a habit and something you are familiar with. Use a journal or notebook and apply this method to work through any passage of Scripture.
Scripture
Write the Scripture reference and read through the passage slowly.
Observation
Write down what you notice from the reading. For example...
• What’s the main point the author is trying to get across?
• What’s something challenging or new?
• Is there anything in the passage you want to study more?
Application
Write down how this applies to your life today.
• How does this challenge you to live as a disciple?
• How does it intersect with your current life circumstances?
• Is God speaking a word of encouragement or challenge to you directly?
Prayer
Write your prayer to God in response to what you’ve read.
