Loved!

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

April 24: 1Samuel 28, 29; Psalm 109; Matthew 11

Scripture: Psalm (NIV) 109:26 LORD my god, help me. Save me because you love me.
27 LORD, let my enemies know that you yourself have saved me. You have done it with your own hand.

Observation: David was in trouble from his enemies. He wants to see God’s judgment on them. But David is probably aware that he is not guiltless. David cannot pray, “Save me because I have lived so perfectly.” He prays, “Save me because you love me.” And I hear David saying, “Do not let your salvation prove how wise and strong I am, but how wise and strong and loving you are!”

Application: How wonderful it is to know that God loves me! His greatest motivation is not how perfectly I perform, but that I am His child and He loves me.

Prayer: Lord, I am amazed at how much you love me! Amen
