I owe you an apology.
When I get on a soapbox, I like to warn people ahead of time. And in the last post, I sort of forgot.
That said, (and apology accepted, I hope), it’s important to me that people learn to take the truth of God’s word and apply it to the many facets of their lives. So I thought I would show you how I approach that. In the previous post I shared 12 specific areas of application. Today, as advertised, I want to show you an in-the-raw, unedited example of how I used those 12 areas to apply spiritual truth to my life two days ago.
(Disclaimer: I don’t go into this level of detail every single time I crack open the Bible. But if I want to get the most practical benefit and direction, this is what I do.)
What follows is straight out of my journal. You’ll see a couple of observations from a familiar passage. That’s important, because you can’t apply truth you haven’t yet focused on. Then you’ll see how I applied it.
What is important is not my details, but your process of discovery and application. This is just an example. But for what it’s worth, in the next post I will take what I have applied to my life here and turn it into an article that hopefully applies it to others.
