Each believer is blessed because we have the word of God. In these verses God’s word is known as: precepts, statutes, commandments, judgments, testimonies, and lastly your word. As believers we are to seek Him, to walk with Him, to keep, to praise, to learn, to take heed, to not wonder, to hide, to rejoice, to meditate, to contemplate, to delight, to not forget, and to not stray from God or His word.
We are instructed in these verses to walk in his ways and we do this by reading and applying God’s word diligently. When we keep God’s word we will not be forsaken, we will be cleansed, we will delight, we will not forget His word or His benefits, we will see wondrous things, we will have reproach removed, and God’s word is as a counselor.
Our memory verse in verse eleven states that if we hide God’s word in our heart we will not sin against God. Will you claim this verse this week? Lastly, God’s word is delightful and when we meditate on His word we are redeemed.

Beloved, the last step in the process of this study is to reflect on the twenty-four verses and summarize or respond to these verses. So may I ask you, how did you do this week reading these verses? I love the SOAP format. I feel like I really have a grasp of what these verses say and I am responding to hiding God’s word in my heart so I do not sin against God. As I meditate or think about these verses, I am actively seeking God, praising God, rejoicing and contemplating how I can serve God on a daily basis.
How can I pray for you?
What are you praising God for today?
Your reading plan for next week.

June 20, 2015 at 10:09 pmI haven’t done my weekly summary yet, but I am loving the SOAP method as well. I feel like it makes me think more about what I am reading, and helps me to better understand and remember the scripture. Whoever came up with this method is pure genius! 🙂 ❤
Please keep my mom in your prayers. Yesterday her feet turned purple, she is in pain. Her home health nurse called the Dr that placed the Stent on Tuesday, and he said to go to the ER. They said that it could be a valve leaking, but they sent her home and said if it gets worse or doesn’t get better to return. I am really concerned about my mom again. Will keep you posted.
Thank you again Diana for all you do! 🙂 ❤
Love, Rachelle
