Pastor Leon’s SOAP: Scripture, Observation, Application, Prayer
November 18: Ps 124, 2Cor 11-13
Scripture: Psalm 124:1 If the LORD had not been on our side— let Israel say—
2 if the LORD had not been on our side when men attacked us,
3 when their anger flared against us, they would have swallowed us alive;
4 the flood would have engulfed us, the torrent would have swept over us,
5 the raging waters would have swept us away.
6 ¶ Praise be to the LORD, who has not let us be torn by their teeth.
7 We have escaped like a bird out of the fowler’s snare; the snare has been broken, and we have escaped.
8 Our help is in the name of the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
Observation: It is good to know that I am on the Lord’s side. I am for him! AND it is so good to know that He is on my side. He is for me!
Application: I am so glad that HE is on MY side and is for me. Good things would not have happened and bad things would have been so much worse! Trouble would have lasted so much longer and I would not be able to walk in faith that it would all work out for good!
Prayer: Lord, Maker of heaven and earth, I am so glad you continue to be on my side! Amen.
