The method I currently use to help me explore God's Word is called REAP. I learned this method from the Austin Stone Community church http://www.austinstone.org/ REAP is an acronym for Read Examine Apply Prayer. So, here is my REAP of Genesis 28:15, so you can get an idea of how it works:
R "What's more, I am with you, and I will protect you wherever you go. One day I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have finished giving you everything I have promised you." NLT
E God is talking to Jacob in a dream, assuring Jacob that He will be with him wherever he goes, and protect him, and will not leave him until He gives him everything He promised Jacob.
A God is with me wherever I go and will protect me. I can also know that He will not leave me until He is finished giving me everything He has promised me. This is my hope.
P God, Thank You for Your Word. Thank You, Lord, for being with me in this season. Thank You that You will not leave me until You have finished giving me all your promises. I pray that when You call us away from Round Rock, that we will trust Your Word. That You will protect us wherever we go. God, we want to know Your will for our lives. Help us through this season.
The Austin Stone also has a Bible reading plan on their website if you are interested. It's the one I currently use.I will write down all the verses that stick out to me, and then I choose one to REAP. Here is the link: http://www.austinstone.org/resources/bible_reading_plan/
