Ephesians 5:8-12

8 For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light 9 (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) 10 and find out what pleases the Lord. 11 Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. 12 It is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret.

Use your 21 Days of Prayer Journal, if you don't have one you can do this with a piece of paper.

S — SCRIPTURE  - Which verse stood out to you?
Listen to the reading for today again a couple of times and allow God to speak to you. Is there a verse that particularly stands out? If so, write it in your journal.

O — OBSERVATION - What is God saying to you?
What do you feel God is saying to you in this scripture? Ask the Holy Spirit to teach you and reveal something to you.

A — APPLICATION - How can you apply it today?
Personalise what you have read, by asking yourself how it applies to your life. Perhaps it is an instruction, an encouragement, a new promise, or corrections for a particular area of your life. Write how this scripture can apply to you today.

P — PRAYER - Ask God to help you use what you’ve learned.
This can be as simple as asking God to help you use this scripture, or even a prayer for a greater insight on what the Spirit may be revealing to you. Remember, prayer is a two-way conversation, so also listen to what God has to say! Now, write it out.
