O- Luke is letting us know that the accounts he is sharing with us in his book are true. That he has carefully investigated these things and given us an orderly report.
A- It is important to carefully investigate things/words that are handed down to us. It reminds me that not everything we hear is truth and we need to look into things on our own. Specifically to back things up by Biblical scripture, which is the true word of God. 2 Timothy 3:16 "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness."
P- Dear God, Thank you so much for this study and each of the ladies that have joined me in studying the book of Luke. Thank you for Luke's introduction that he tells us that he has carefully investigated the accounts he is about to share with us, so that we know that it is true. Thank you for his example in investigating truth in things that are handed down to us. Please help us to not just trust what we hear, but seek truth on our own through studying our Bibles and praying to you. Please lead us as we are eager to know you better. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen!
I challenge you to do your SOAP journal before reading any other posts. Sometimes this is hard for me when I don't really understand the verses. However, it helps me to focus and really study the verses and not be swayed by another ladies thoughts. I often am praying for God to make the verses clear and to teach me through His word. I love reading what God teaches each of us through the very same verse! I learn so much more than reading/studying alone!
