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

June 10: Song of Solomon 1-4; Ephesians 6

Scripture: Ephesians (NIV) 6:10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.

Observation: People have a combination of strong and weak character traits. Some are strong in patience. Others seem to have great knowledge. Some love sports. But each one has areas of weakness. Our strengths enable us to serve others. Our weaknesses cause us to need others. However there is one area in which we should all be strong. We should all be “strong in the Lord.”

Application: In areas where I am weak, it is obvious that I need to depend on the Lord and his strength. But I am finding that God’s strengths make my strengths look like weaknesses. It is much better to rely on God even in areas where I think I am strong.

Prayer: Lord, I want to be strong in my knowledge of you, strong in my relationship with you, and strong in depending on you. In dealing with temptation and the devil, I want to be strong in you! Amen
