If you've never heard of the SOAP method, the premise is simple. SOAP is an acronym to help you remember: S - Scripture Open your Bible to your reading for the day. 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 - 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. A - Application Personalize what you have read, by asking yourself how it applies to your life right now. Perhaps it is instruction, encouragement, a new promise, or corrections for a particular area of your life. Write how this scripture can apply to you today. P - Prayer This can be as simple as asking God to help you use this scripture, or even a prayer for 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

In every conversation we choose whether we are going to affirm the positive or dwell on the negative; spotlight the growth or the weakness; celebrate the victories or rehash the failures; encourage or discourage; think the worst or assume the best; and draw them to Christ or push them away. And what we choose will make a difference in someone's life...one way or another. Learn to speak with Grace to achieve what you want in life.
