I came across some “SOAP” blogs that inspired me to start this new blog. 

The “SOAP” formula for Bible Study is:

Scripture:  Read every day.

Observation:  Look for themes, emphasis, names, places, dates, times.

Application:  Seek the Holy Spirit’s guidance as to how you should apply this portion of the Word in your life .

Prayer:  Talk to the Lord about His Word.

This is just a suggestion; I’m not sure if I will use it myself.  I tend to do a lot of comparisons with other passages of scripture along the lines of certain themes and see where that takes me.

My original plan was to read the Bible in just 90 days but I couldn’t keep up the pace! So now I’m switching over to the 1 year plan. There are many other options at this site.
