Devotional Method of Bible Study
How to Apply Scripture to life.
But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.
All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness,
There are Dangers in Depping your Study Habits in the Word of God
Interpretation without application quote
The Pharisees were the acknowledged scholars of the day
The Scribes were the legal and experts in the Jewish law.
Sadducees were the liberals of their day
The Sadducees were trying to trip Jesus about the resurrection
But Jesus answered them, “You are wrong, because you know neither the Scriptures nor the power of God.
The Sadducess had an intellectual knowledge of the facts of the Jewish Scriptures but they didn't apply these principles.
You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness about me,
yet you refuse to come to me that you may have life.
John
Now concerning food offered to idols: we know that “all of us possess knowledge.” This “knowledge” puffs up, but love builds up.
1 Cor 1:
“Puffs Up” inflated with pride that in turn leads to arrogance.
The Devil Know the Word intellectually
You believe that God is one; you do well. Even the demons believe—and shudder!
When I think on my ways,
I turn my feet to your testimonies;
Pslm 119
James
I hasten and do not delay
to keep your commandments.
The End of all learning is to know God, and out of that knowledge to love and intimate Him. ~John Milton
It would seem that applying the Bible would be fairly simple, but actually it is the hardest part of Bible study. Why is that? Application just does not happen by accident. We have to plan for it, or it will never come.
It requires serious thinking
And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.
The Devil fights it Viciously
The ones along the path are those who have heard; then the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved.
We Naturally Resist Change.
Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
Mark 14:38
Mark 16:38

When doing devotional Bible Study there are four Simple steps
Step One: Pray for Insight on How to Apply the Passage
Open my eyes, that I may behold
wondrous things out of your law.
Step Two: Meditate on the verse that you have chose to study
Phil
Yet it was kind of you to share my trouble.
but his delight is in the law of the Lord,
and on his law he meditates day and night.
And you Philippians yourselves know that in the beginning of the gospel, when I left Macedonia, no church entered into partnership with me in giving and receiving, except you only.
Even in Thessalonica you sent me help for my needs once and again.
Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the fruit that increases to your credit.
He is like a tree
planted by streams of water
that yields its fruit in its season,
and its leaf does not wither.
In all that he does, he prospers.
Phil
The wicked are not so,
but are like chaff that the wind drives away.
P
I can do everything through him who gives me strength.

Step Four: Memorize a Key Verse from Your Study
Ps 119:11
With my lips have I declared
All the judgments of thy mouth.
I was pushed hard, so that I was falling,
but the Lord helped me.
With my lips I declare
all the rules of your mouth.
I have stored up your word in my heart,
that I might not sin against you.
Ps 119:
