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 Proverbs 16:24 again.

• What stands out to you?
• What does it teach us about choosing words that show God's love?
• What questions do you still have?

A: Application

• What does it look like to show God's love with encouraging words?
• What does this passage invite you to do differently in approaching conflict or disagreement?
• What do you think could change in your relationships if you do?

P: Prayer

Spend some time in prayer about a person you could show God's love to through your words. Ask for patience in the relationship. Then, say thank you for all the ways God is patient and loving toward you.
