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

November 11: Psalm 122; 1Corinthians 9-11

Scripture: 1Corinthians NIV 10:6 Now these things occurred as examples to keep us from setting our hearts on evil things as they did.
1Corinthians NIV 10:11 These things happened to them as examples and were written down as warnings for us, on whom the fulfillment of the ages has come.
1Corinthians 10:13 No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.

Observation: Since there is a common aspect to every temptation, it is good that we can learn from both the mistakes and successes of others. And even more, we have a God who is faithful not to allow temptation beyond our capabilities! Wow! And even more, we have His presence!

Application: Examples, promise, and Presence. God has set me up to be successful in overcoming temptations!

Prayer: Lord, Thank you for examples. Thank you for your promises. Thank you for your Presence in my life! Amen.
