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.

Word: Cry
Verse: Psalm 22:2 "O my God, I cry by day, but You do not answer; And by night, but I have no rest." NASB
Facts/Observations: In Psalm 21 David has strength; Psalm 22 he is crying out; Psalm 23 he appears to have peace. Psalm 22 is a foretelling of Christ's suffereing on the cross. He is the only one who was ever forsaken by God--briefly & momentarily--and that for my (our) sake! By the end of Psalm 22 David is reminding himself of God's faithfulness and is turning his thoughts to trusting God.
Application: I am reminded in these Psalms of the ups & downs of this life. We will get discouraged in this world, but 1.) I need never worry about being forsaken because Christ did so for our sake; 2.) Crying out to and relying on the Lord is the right thing to do when I am discouraged. 3.) I need to remind myself of God's faithfulness during discouraging times and trust in Him.
