S:
It is good to give thanks to the Lord, to sing praises to your name, O Most High; to declare your steadfast love in the morning, and your faithfulness by night,...Psalm 92:1-2
O:
What strikes me most about this passage is that the writer sees my motivation for thankfulness and praise in God's character—His steadfast love and faithfulness. And that when I do that, it's a declaration, presumably that encourages others, and it is "good."
A:
I so often give myself wholly in praise when I feel blessed; when things are going pretty good. What's weird about that is my praise becomes a reflection of me, how I'm doing. But this passage tells me that the praise I enthusiastically offer to God should be rooted in His faithful love. That's something I can count on regardless of how bad things might look.
P:
Dear Jesus, please remind me every day of your goodness towards me. Let me see with spiritual eyes the good You're working in all things so that I can declare it in joyful praise!

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.
