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

February 25: Numbers 17-18; Psalm 29; Mark 4

Scripture: Mark (NIV) 4:37 A furious squall came up, and the waves broke over the boat, so that it was nearly swamped. (KJV – so that it was now full)

Observation: The boat was in the storm; the storm had gotten into the boat. Although the disciples were seasoned boaters, the boat was in danger. Their salvation was in the fact that there was another in the boat with them. Jesus was in the stern sleeping on a cushion. The expert fishermen humbled themselves and woke Jesus who stilled the storm.

Application: Sometimes I am in the storm, and sometimes the storm is in me. Either way, I have the Great Storm Calmer living in me! I am not depending on my abilities, but on Him!

Prayer: Jesus, if you said “Let’s go over to the other side,” no storm can stop us, even if it gets into the boat. I am counting on you! Amen
