We all need to grow spiritual.We never stop growing and learning more about God! That's what this post is about! Tips and tricks to stay focused on your devotions.
Ok, so I have been struggling lately with my personal devotions.Like,
I would read a passage and totally not get it, or I wouldn't even try. I think we are all guilty of that.
I start searching pinterest for some tips on studying the Bible, and what caught my eye was S.O.A.P.
This is what S.O.A.P. means!
Scripture: Write out a verse or a passage that's meaningful to you.
Observation :What is God saying in this passage? What are you learning?
Application: What's in this verse that you can apply to your life?
Prayer: Write out a prayer to God, asking him to help you with what ever the
verse is teaching you.
I started using this system just a few days ago and I like how your digging deeper in the verse! I learned more from a verse using S.O.A.P.!
Sometimes you just need a little s.o.a.p. to wash off your grimy, sin stained, glasses! ;)
So, this picture is of my Bible, Sunday school book, and my devotional.
I read my devotional ("God's Garden Of Grace" by Elizabeth George.) in the morning. Why? So my mornings start of right!
(You can see my post on this subject here!)
Then I do my "Real Faith" one at night. There's no such thing as to much God time!!
I encourage you guys to do more then on devotional, do a simple one at night, or in the morning.
Just MAKE time for God! He makes time for you by helping you through every struggle!
Notebook 1. A study notebook that I write what I learned
Notebook 2. My prayer notebook. I write down prayer request and answered prayer.
Notebook 3. Spiritual diary. I write in, what I'm strong in and what I need to work on.
Notebook 4. My memorized verses. I write down every verse I memorized and why it's so special. That way I can look back and remember THEM!
You don't have too do any of this but, I hope it encourages you to dig deep in Gods word!!
I pray that you'll grow stronger in God!
Bye for now!!
Grace
