MOM Book Club- Week 2 Wrap-up

As I mentioned previously, I am participating in an online book club through Good Morning Girls using the book "Ministry of Motherhood" by Sally Clarkson. Each day we have a scripture passage that we use the "SOAP" method to meditate upon. Each week I will post a "wrap-up" about what I have learned. I will choose my favorite verse and share my “SOAP” entries with you. I will also share the Bible references and my personal prayers for the entire week. Feel free to check out my previous posts too!

Week Two

I chose Thursday’s passage: Proverbs 14:1

S- Write out the scripture passage for the day

"Wisdom builds her house but Folly tears it down with her own hands"





O- Write down 1-2 observations from the passage

1. what is building? productivity, moving forward to better things


2. what is tearing down? destructive thoughts and actions



A-Write down 1-2 applications from the passage

1. Act with wisdom-

• think before you speak
• Make wise choices
• be productive
• know the Lord

2. Find ways to bring wisdom, wise choices into daily life. Keep learning to become wiser.


P- Pray over what you learned from today’s passage
