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

June 25: Joel 1-3; 2Timothy 1

Scripture: 2Timothy (NIV) 1:7 For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.

Observation: When God places His Spirit within us, it is NOT to make us bashful, shy, timid, nervous or afraid. His Spirit give s power, love and self-discipline.

Application: The Spirit of the Lord energizes me with power to make a difference. He places the God kind of love in me to enable me to love the unlovable. He causes me to think and understand without over-reacting, but in moderation and self-control.

Prayer: Lord, thank you for your Holy Spirit. You know what I need! I need more than just to be told to how to act, I need the presence of your Spirit within to enable me to act appropriately! Amen
