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

June 23: 2Kings 10; 2Chronicles 22,23; 1Timothy 5

Scripture: 2Chronicles (NIV) 22:3 He (King Ahaziah) too walked in the ways of the house of Ahab, for his mother encouraged him in doing wrong.
2Chronicles (NIV) 23:8 The Levites and all the men of Judah did just as Jehoiada the priest ordered… 16 Jehoiada then made a covenant that he and the people and the king would be the LORD’s people.

Observation: In these verses we have two very powerful people. Neither had the authority of a king, but both had the power of influence. Both used their influence to change the affairs of the nation.

Application: In places where I do not have any power of authority, I often have some power of influence. I need to carefully use my influence to glorify God.

Prayer: Lord, may I use my influence today to encourage someone to live for you. Amen
