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.

Deodarant

Word: Sweat
Verse: Matthew 22:44 "And being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground."
Application/Personal: This verse, of course, is about Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane when he was praying before his crucifixion. An angel ministered to him and strengthened him in the prior verse. He must have needed the strength for the 'harsh workout' he was about to endure. I workout and run quite a bit, and I sweat, but the thought that Jesus was sweating to the point of the drops being as big as blood clots (according to the commentaries) takes my breath away at the thought of the Spiritual and emotional 'workout' He must have been going through. What a sweet reminder to me of His love and care for us through His incredibly painful & agonizing death each time I work out! Praise the Lord! Thank you Jesus for our Sacrifice!
