How the Study Works

Everyday Objects is a Bible study that uses visual association with objects we see in our daily life to memorize God's word. Very simply:
1. You see an object
2. A word comes to mind (any word, not just 'Spiritual' words), 3. Using a Bible Concordance, you find & study a verse in the Bible that has that word understanding the context & application to your life.
4. Everytime you see that object, you try to recall the verse or the Biblical application to your life.

The study uses things we see everyday to guide us into and remind us of God's Word.
Example:
When you see a coffee pot, you may think of the word morning or cup. You use a condordance to look up verses with the word morning or cup & study the verse--trust me, both those words are in the Bible. You pick one verse & do a study on that verse. Then, through the week, every time you see a coffee pot you try to remember the verse and application. Before you know it, you'll have the verse memorized! The more objects you do, the more verses you'll remember and the more of God's Word you'll be hiding in your heart & mind! It's that easy.

Week 2 - American Flag

Word: Safe
Scripture: Eze 34:27
'Then the trees of the field shall yield their fruit, and the earth shall yield her increase. They shall be safe in their land; and they shall know that I [am] the LORD, when I have broken the bands of their yoke and delivered them from the hand of those who enslaved them.'

To me this speaks to me to be grateful that in America we are safe from harm and have so many freedoms. We are safe from persecution and can worship freely.
Also this means to me personally that we are safe in Christ. Safe from the enemy and our soul is safe for eternity. In Him we are safe and free.

    Word: Stripes
    Verse: Isa.53:5 "But he was peirced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities, the punishment that brought up peace was uon him, and by his stripes we are healed." AND 1 Pet 2:24: "He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his sripes we have been healed."
    Personal application: Both verses spoke to me about injustice--first against Christ, then against believers, however, Christ came to give all sinners liberty; his death serves as our justice. This gave me new meaning to the phrase "liberty and justice for all," "old glory"(Christ gets ALL glory). PTL!

    Word: banner
    something lifted up, standard, signal, signal pole, ensign, banner, sign, sail
    standard (as rallying point), signal
    standard (pole)
    ensign, signal
    Verse: Isaiah 13:2 "Lift ye up a banner upon the high mountain, exalt the voice unto them, shake the hand, that they may go into the gates of the nobles. "

    Wesley Commentary - A banner - To gather soldiers together. Mountain - Whence it may be discerned at a considerable distance. Withal he seems to intimate, that their enemies should come from the mountainous country of Media. Them - To the Medes. Shake - Beckon to them with your hand, that they may come to this service, that they may go and fight against Babylon, and take it, and so enter in to the palaces of the king, and his princes.

    What it means to me? The banner is a rallying call to gather the troops to wage war and prevail against the Lord's enemies. Anyone is able to pray--we should encourage more to do just that and the more people praying in one accord the more vast the results.
