SOAP: scripture, observation, application, prayer

Today’s SOAP Devotional by Jacob Coyne

S - SCRIPTURE: Luke 11:9-10 

“And I tell you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.”

O - OBSERVATION:

Jesus invites us into a life of persistent prayer, reminding us that God is a good Father who loves to give good gifts to His children. During Advent, this is a call to seek Him with all our hearts, trusting that He will answer.

A - APPLICATION:

What are you asking God for in this season? Bring your needs and desires to Him with boldness and faith, knowing that He loves you and hears you.

P - PRAYER:

Father, thank You for inviting me to come to You in prayer. Teach me to ask, seek, and knock with faith, trusting in Your goodness and love.

Theological Quote:
“Prayer is not overcoming God’s reluctance, but laying hold of His willingness.” – Martin Luther

Christmas Hymn:
“Ask the Savior to help you, comfort, strengthen, and keep you; He is willing to aid you, He will carry you through.” – Yield Not to Temptation

Declaration of Truth:
Jesus, You are the faithful provider. I will come to You in prayer, trusting Your goodness and Your timing.

What is a SOAP?

For each day of Bible reading, we do a SOAP devotional to go deeper into the word of God. We always provide an example SOAP from one of our authors, but we highly encourage you to do your own SOAP with today’s reading. God wants to speak to you personally, and will highlight a passage of today’s reading that’s just for you.

Here’s how it works:

S – SCRIPTURE
Physically write out the Bible verse
You’ll be amazed at what God will reveal to you when you
slow down to write or meditate on what you are reading!

O – OBSERVATION
What do you see in the verses you’re reading?
Who is the audience? Is there a repetition of words? What words stand out to you? What is the main lesson or theme?

A – APPLICATION
When God’s Word becomes personal
What is God saying to me today? How can I apply what I just read to my life? Are there any changes I need to make?

P – PRAYER
Pray God’s Word back to Him
If He has revealed something to you during this time in His
Word, pray about it. Confess if He has revealed some sin that is in your life. Take time to thank Him for His goodness in your life.
