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 Philippians 2:5–11 again.

• What stands out to you?
• What does it teach us about what Jesus thought mattered most?
• What questions do you have?

A: Application

What could humility look like in your life?

Jesus understood that for us to get the most out of life, we have to empty ourselves of things that don't matter. What's something you could give up in order to pursue more of the goodness that Jesus provides?

Who's someone you can put first this week?

P: Prayer

Spend some time in prayer talking to God about what humility could look like for you. Ask that you would have eyes to see those around you that you can put first. Then thank God for the truth that in giving up what doesn't matter, Jesus helps us receive a fullness of life beyond our expectations.
