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

March 6: Deuteronomy 3-4; Psalm 36; Mark 13

Scripture: Mark (NIV) 13:13 …but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved. “

Observation: I see two measurements for faith. First we can measure faith by what it accomplishes. We would say that it takes great faith to move mountains. Second, and maybe more importantly, faith can be measured by how long it lasts. Will it outlast the problem or the trial? It is bad when our faith is not strong enough, but it is worse when our faith is not long enough.

Application: When the trial is over, will I still have my faith? Hebrews 11 speaks of people who were still living by faith when they died. I do not want my faith to die before I do!

Prayer: Lord, use your Word that I read every day to feed my faith, making it strong enough to face every problem and long enough to outlast every trial. Amen
