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

July 6: Hosea 6-9; Hebrews 3

Scripture: Hosea (NIV) 6:6 For I desire steadfast love and not sacrifice, the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings.

Observation: In the midst of God listing Israel’s sins and what He is going to do about them we have this revelation of the heart of God. Verses like this are important to people who want to be God-pleasers.

Application: It is not with my actions, but with my heart and my mind that I please God. God is happy when my heart is full of faithful love and my mind is searching to better know and understand this God I love.

Prayer: Lord, to know you and then to show my love for you by making you known. I want to increase in both. Amen
