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

December 1: Romans 5-8

Scripture: Romans 5: 6 ¶ You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. …
8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Observation: At the perfect time, and while we remained totally helpless, God did what only God could do. He paid the price. Christ gave His life for those who had ignored and broken God’s law.

Application: 1. There have been times when God’s intervention came even before I knew I was going to have a need. God was showing me that He knew what was coming and had it well in hand. I can trust Him!
2. Then there have been times when His help did not come until the very last minute. It was there when I needed it, but not a minute sooner. God was showing me I can trust Him!
3. There have also been times when His help arrived too late for my timing. But as I watched Him at work, I discovered that God is never late. Even when He is late according to my timing, He still has plenty of time to accomplish His plan! Again, God was showing me I can trust Him!

Prayer: Lord, Your timing is always perfect. You not only do the right thing, You do it at the right time. I can trust you!. Amen
