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 7:7–11 again.
- What stands out to you?
- What does it teach us about God's undeniable goodness?
- What role does it say we have in accepting this?
A: Application
What's something that keeps you from asking God for good things?
What does this passage invite you to do differently in how you approach God?
How would your perspective change if you looked to God first when you're in need?
P: Prayer
Spend some time praying to God for being a giver of good gifts. Say thank you for all the ways you've seen God provide good things in your life. Ask for help, trusting God to provide for you in the future. Invite God to show you others who might need this message today.
