It was good for me to be afflicted 
so that I might learn your decrees. 
Psalm 119:71 

Many of you are already familiar with the S.O.A.P. method of Bible study. The letters stand for Scripture, Observation, Application, and Prayer. First developed by Dr. Wayne Cordeiro, a pastor in Hawaii, it has since spread from his congregation to bless many others.

For the first time this month, we introduced a S.O.A.P. page as a companion resource for our monthly Write the WORD bookmark. It provides a simple yet memorable format for analyzing a verse or passage in your daily quiet time. As we read and write the Word, we pray the Holy Spirit will also assist us in seeing and applying the truth found there.  

For this week’s Sunday Soaking, I’ve chosen to unpack Psalm 119:71 using the S.O.A.P. model. For those of you who may be new to this Bible study method, I hope it will inspire you to try adding a little “soap” to your daily routine.
