DAY 18 OF 28

Reading the Bible can feel intimidating sometimes. But one simple way of studying Scripture is called S.O.A.P. It stands for "Scripture," "Observation," "Application," and "Prayer." We'll show you how—it's easy!

S: Scripture

If you haven't already, read today's passage of Scripture. Then, summarize it in your own words.

O: Observation

Read Matthew 20:1–16 again.

  • What stands out to you?
  • What does it teach us about Jesus' teachings on equity?
  • What questions do you still have?

A: Application

  • Who is someone you find difficult to see as deserving of God's favor? What holds you back from wanting to see them receive equity?
  • How can we be people who are okay with this version of equity when it doesn't feel fair?
  • In Matthew 20:16, Jesus said, "The last will be first." Who can you put first today?

P: Prayer

Spend some time in prayer, asking God to show you places of inequity in your community. Ask for guidance in knowing how to be a part of making things right. Then, say thank you that God doesn't treat us with a faulty view of fairness but values equity for those some see as less deserving.
