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

August 28: Ezekiel 1-3; Revelation 2

Scripture: Ezekiel (NIV) 1:2 On the fifth of the month—it was the fifth year of the exile of King Jehoiachin— 3 the word of the LORD came to Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, by the Kebar River in the land of the Babylonians. There the hand of the LORD was upon him.

Observation: On a specific day of a specific month at a specific place God spoke to a specific priest named Ezekiel. The word was to Ezekiel, but not for Ezekiel. It was the word of the LORD given through Ezekiel. Ezekiel was one God could trust to hear His voice and faithfully pass it along. It was through Ezekiel to the nation of Judah—it was through Ezekiel to people who would live in the last days. It was through Ezekiel to people alive today!

Application: I want to be one God can trust to hear His voice and faithfully pass it along.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, I pray that you find my ears open to your words today and my mouth faithful to pass along to others what you say to me. Use me to speak your words of encouragement or comfort to someone in need today. Amen
