Cornerstone SOAP Reading Plan

SOAP

WHAT IS S.O.A.P?

SOAP is an easy to use method to study God's Word and see how He is speaking through His Word to you daily and how you can apply what you are learning to your life. You can use SOAP as a model to do a short 5-10 minute study or take it deeper and dwell for hours, whatever you feel compelled to do that day.

Scripture

Read meditatively and thoughtfully through a portion of Scripture. Pick a verse or two that stood out to you and write it in your journal.

Observation

Now write some observations about the verse(s) or passage. What is this passage or verse saying? About God? About people? How is Christ revealed in this?

Application

Now write a few sentences on how this passage applies to your life. Is there truth about God that you are to believe? A promise to receive? Is the Holy Spirit convicting you of something you need to do or stop doing in light of God’s truth? What specific principles are you challenged to practice based on Scripture, prayer, and reflection? Be doers of the word and not merely hearers. (James 1:22)

Prayer

Now write out a prayer to God in response to this Scripture. This is a way to turn God’s Word to you back to Him. Be honest and express your heart to Him. God always listens and He delights in your prayers. (Psalm 34:15; Proverbs 15:8)
