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

February 8: Leviticus 7-9; Acts 15

Scripture: Acts 15:28 NIV It seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us not to burden you with anything beyond the following requirements:

Observation: The leaders in the early church were challenged with some tough decisions. Did non-Jewish people have to go through the traditions of becoming Jewish to be a part of the church? The leaders met together to hear reports of what God was doing. Then they, relying on the guidance of the Holy Spirit, made a decision.

Application: There are times when I need to make a decision that is not clearly outlined in God’s Word. I want to be able to say about every tough decision I make, “It seems good to the Holy Spirit and to me…”

Prayer: Holy Spirit, I trust you to guide my thoughts and decisions. I welcome your input. I believe it is your desire to be a part of my daily life. Amen
