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

October 17: Job 1-2; Acts 6-7

Scripture: Job (NIV) 1:8 Then the LORD said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job? There is no one on earth like him; he is blameless and upright, a man who fears God and shuns evil.” …
Job (NIV) 2:3 Then the LORD said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job? There is no one on earth like him; he is blameless and upright, a man who fears God and shuns evil. And he still maintains his integrity, though you incited me against him to ruin him without any reason.”

Observation: Between these two verses, everything has changed for Job. He has lost his oxen, donkeys, sheep, camels, sons and daughters. His whole world has turned upside down. Everything has changed, but one thing has not changed – God’s testimony of Job!

Application: May God be able to say the same thing about me when I am in public or when I am alone. May God be able to say the same thing about me when I have abundance or when I am broke. May God be able to say the same thing about me when I am healthy or when I am sick …at home or in the hospital …when everyone affirms me or when everyone shuns me.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, what you say about me is more important that what anyone else says about me. I want you to find me faithful in all situations. Amen
