How I study scripture? (book study)

Image
First, let me say that there is no right or wrong way to study. Do what works for you. The first thing I do before any study is pray. Ask the Lord to open my eyes, show me direction, give me wisdom, help me understand His word. I then create a cover sheet. This is the who, what, when, where, why and Who of that book. I then apply the S.O.A.P. method to a key verse. (Scripture, Observation, Application, Prayer) I then go verse by verse of the book I am studying. I write down what stands out to me. I compare my translations (NLT) to the (KJV) and define words that stick out or that I want to understand better. I use a Strong's Concordance for this. If I feel the need, I might write down a prayer or something I feel the Lord is saying to me that I can apply to my life. You can see the video of this HERE ! Hope all of you have a Blessed day.

Verse Mapping

Verse mapping is a neat way to dig into scripture and really define it. You get a better idea of what that scripture means. How does it work? (it is really easy, I promise) 1. Find a scripture or passage. Anyone will work. 2. Use your everyday translation of the Bible. 3. Mark words you want to define. 4. Define these words. 5. Re-write the scripture, but this time replace the words with their definitions. 6. Write a summary, prayer or what you think that scripture is saying. 7. Write the same scripture in at least 2 other translations. 8. Write down any cross references for this scripture. Here is one I did on Micah 7:7 (using the NLT translation) You can see the video HERE ! Hope you all have a Blessed day. Hugs, Stacy
