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

April 17: 1Samuel 19; 1Chronicles 7; Psalm 59; Matthew 4

Scripture: Psalm 59:16 But I will sing of your strength, in the morning I will sing of your love; for you are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble.
17. You are my strength, I sing praise to you; you, God are my fortress, my God on whom I can rely. (NIV)

Observation: David would personally sing of God’s strength and love. Why? Because God was personally to David a fortress, a refuge and strength! It was not for someone else to sing about God being David’s fortress, refuge and strength. David took that responsibility personally.

Application: God is Leon’s fortress. God is Leon’s refuge. God is Leon’s strength. It is for Leon to sing of Leon’s God. The words of my song may not rhyme. The melody of my song may not pleasant to others. But the praise in Leon’s heart will bring joy to Leon’s God!

Prayer: Lord, I praise you, MY Fortress, MY Refuge, and MY Strength! Amen
