How to start SHAPE
Step 1
  • Find a place where you will not be disturbed, the best is the same time and place each day.
  • It is a great idea to begin with some worship in song. Sing along with a CD or with an instrument if you play one.
Step 2
  • Take a moment to pray and ask God through His Holy Spirit to teach you from the Bible what he has for you today.
  • From the table in the back turn to and read the chapters listed in the “Daily Bible Reading Program”.
  • Mark off the reading as you do it each day. This will help you remain accountable.
Step 3
  • Read the passages for the day, marking, underlining and highlighting the verses that speak to you personally from the Lord. This is what the Lord has for you to apply to your life today.
  • When you read with an open heart and mind, having asked the Lord for these, he will speak to you from his word with teachings, correcting and encouragement - 2 Timothy 3:16-17.

Step 4

After you're done reading open your SHAPE Journal and turn to a new page to write down what God has taught you.
  • Write down the date and page number.
  • Write out the verse, or verses, that particularly spoke to you today.
  • Give a Title to describe the main idea that God is speaking to you about today.
