READ
Before you start reading, ask God to teach you and to make you ready to hear from Him and understand His words. As you read, remember the context that the original author is writing. That helps shape the interpretation. Then use the below questions to help you really think on, understand, and apply God’s Word. Sometimes writing out thoughts, questions, and insights can be helpful.
EXPLORE
What stands out to you, impacts you, or catches your attention? (General observations)
What does this teach us about God? About the Gospel? (Objective truth of who God is and the Gospel)
What does this teach us about us? (Objective truth of how this relates to humanity)
APPLY
What is God telling you specifically from this passage? (Subjective application of the objective truth)
PRAY
Rejoice - Based on today's passage, how can you praise God?
Repent - Is there anything you read today that is leading you to turn away from something in your life?
Request - What can you ask God for today? Pray for nonbelievers, pray for someone who is sick, personal needs, etc.

About this Plan
Jesus makes it really clear for us in John 15, that we must abide in Him, for apart from Him we can do nothing. Simply put, if we are going to grow and thrive in our relationship with the Lord, we must be regularly connected to Him. One of the most foundational and essential ways to connect with and abide in Christ is by reading his Words. The Bible is God’s Word given to us to know Him and to know how to follow Him. The more we engage with the Bible and with God, the more we will grow and produce the good fruit in our lives He desires for us. Come on. Let’s read His Words of life together!
