Advent | Daily Reading Plan
For the 2019 Christmas Advent Season
Step #1: Observation
What does it say? Who, What, Where, When, How Repeated words, lists, and themes Causal connections – but, therefore, as, because… Contrasts and Comparisons
Step #2: Interpretation
What does it mean? What is the author’s intent? How would the original audience understand it? What was the historical context? What are the connections with passages before/after?
Step #3: Application
How does it apply to my life? Is there a promise to encourage/strengthen me? Did I see something about God’s character? Is there a command to obey? How can I pray these truths into my life?
