S.O.A.P.

April 22: 1Samuel 25,26; Psalm 63; Matthew 9

Visible faith!

Scripture: Matthew 9:2 Some men brought to him a paralytic, lying on a mat. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, "Take heart, son; your sins are forgiven."

Observation: The faith of those bringing this crippled man to Jesus was visible. Jesus saw their faith. Their faith was visible because they had put their faith to action. Their faith was that Jesus could heal this man. So they picked him up and took him to Jesus.

Application: When I am praying for someone else, I need to be open to doing something that demonstrates my faith. I need to make my faith visible.

Prayer: Lord, I want you and those around me to be able to SEE my faith. Amen.
