In the Shadows预览
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 James 1:19–25 again.
- What instructions do you see?
- Where does it place the focus of our attention?
- What does it teach us about how we view others?
A: Application
- What's something you often find yourself judging others for?
- What does this passage invite you to do differently in how you view others' actions?
- What would change if everyone focused on doing what was right rather than judging what was right?
P: Prayer
Spend some time in prayer about actions you find yourself judging in others. Ask God to give you the humility to slow down, consider other perspectives, and turn your heart toward a spirit of learning over accusing. Then, say thank you for the ways God is patient with and loving toward you.
