Daily Journal - Intro

I have decided to copy my friend Shawn. He has been doing a daily journal based off readings that are laid out on the New Hope website.

This is how they encourage journaling:

S for Scripture
Open your Bible to the reading found under today's date of your Bible bookmark. Take time reading and allow God to speak to you. When you are done, look for a verse that particularly spoke to you that day, and write it in your journal.

O for Observation
What do you think God is saying to you in this scripture? Ask the Holy Spirit to teach you and reveal Jesus to you. Paraphrase and write this scripture down in your own words, in your journal.

A for Application
Personalize what you have read, by asking yourself how it applies to your life right now. Perhaps it is instruction, encouragement, revelation of a new promise, or corrections for a particular area of your life. Write how this scripture can apply to you today.

P for Prayer
This can be as simple as asking God to help you use this scripture, or it may be a greater insight on what He may be revealing to you. Remember, prayer is a two way conversation, so be sure to listen to what God has to say! Now, write it out.

For the next forseeable future, I will be doing my best to find time to spend with my Lord and then take time to write out what I am learning. Hopefully, I'll be learning what He wants me to learn.

For anyone who reads this, your prayers will be greatly appreciated.
