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

December 10: 2Timothy 1-4

Scripture: 2Timothy 1:6 For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands.
7 For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline.

Observation: Gifts from God should be valued. They are given to make us more useful in God’s Kingdom. We “fan into flame the gift of God” by using it. We “fan into flame the gift of God” by stepping out in faith to meet the need before us.

Application: As I walk in an awareness of God’s Presence, the Holy Spirit draws my attention to situations that need the gift He has given me. I may be aware of my limitations, but I need to remember that He is all-sufficient. Then I need to step out in faith that God is leading me to speak or to do what is needed.

Prayer: Lord, I want to use the gifts you have given me. Holy Spirit, embolden me to step out in faith, trusting you to do what only you can do. Amen
