Pastor Leon’s SOAP:  Scripture, Observation, Application, Prayer
January 6, 2022: SOAP #4417:  Genesis 15-17; Luke 6

SCRIPTURE:  Luke (NIV) 6:31 Do to others as you would have them do to you.

OBSERVATION: Treat others the way you want to be treated.  The way you want to be treated is the way you should treat others.  I think it comes down to this: do not tell other people how you would like to be treated, show them! 

It is interesting that the following seven verses (32-38) all are telling us what to do!!!  …you do good…  …you lend…   …you love…  …you be merciful…   Do not judge…  …you forgive…  …you give…  Doing these things will bring these things into our lives. 

APPLICATION:  By my life, I should set a good example of how I would like others to treat me. 

The emphasis in these verses is not on how others should treat me, but how I should be treating others. 

PRAYER:  Holy Spirit, keep watch over my life.  Help me live in line with the scriptures.  Show me how to minister to those around me.  Amen.
