Pastor Leon’s SOAP: Scripture, Observation, Application, Prayer

October 15: Nehemiah 13; Malachi 1-2; Acts 4

Scripture: Acts 4:29 Now, Lord, consider their threats and enable your servants to speak your word with great boldness.

Observation: Peter and John had just been released from prison with a strong warning not to preach any more in the name of Jesus. They were now back with the church. In prayer they did not ask for the persecution to stop, but for boldness to continue speaking.

Application: So often today I hear prayers and prayer requests for God to make things go easier. We are often more interested in our comfort than in God’s glory. If our priority is God’s glory, we can trust Him with the things that concern us, either to remove them or give us the strength to go through them.

Prayer: Holy Spirit, teach me how to pray for God’s glory. Amen.
