1 Timothy 6:20-21
Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to your care. Turn away from godless chatter and the opposing ideas of what is falsely called knowledge which some have professed and in so doing have wandered from the faith.
O
God has given Timothy — and us — His Word. The God of Creation, Who was and is, and is to come gave us His Word of Truth. It has been given to us to care for and guard over; His Kingdom on earth. He warns Timothy to turn away from the chatter of godless men. They say they have knowledge and are puffed up with their profession. But if you lean to the ways of the earth you will wander from your faith.
A
God says to turn away from godless chatter; to turn away and walk away from it. He warns us that it is not knowledge but chatter. Why do we need His Word in our lives daily? Because His Word is the truth; rich, untainted truth. it is life. It reveals the Author of Life to us. It is our storehouse of treasure and God has given it to us to have. The chatter of this earth that is professed as knowledge can fill up all the spaces in my mind and heart. If we listen just to that it can crowd out and then take the place of the very truth God has given us. Without His Word in our heart it is very easy to stray away from him. For when we lose faith we lose touch with the Author of our faith.
P
Thank you, Lord, for ears to hear Your Word and a heart to store Your Word. May I ever hold it dear. May I ever hunger after Your Word. Fill me with Your Word, Lord, for knowing You is having knowledge. Amen.

SOAP stands for Scripture, Observation, Application, and Prayer. It's a way of interacting with the Bible where you read a passage, observe what's happening, reflect on how it applies to your life, and them pray about how you might respond.

SOAP
Ever try reading the Bible and then journaling about it? It's actually pretty easy. Just remember the acronym SOAP. You pick a passage, that's the "S" for scripture. You read it, and make a few notes about what it says. That's the "O" for observation. Then you think about what you've read and how it might impact your life. That's the "A" for application. Finally, you record a prayer, the "P". There you have it SOAP. Now, get to lathering.

Great word, Peggie. Thanks! I gives me plenty to think about ... hopefully I'll think before I speak.
