Pastor Leon’s SOAP:  Scripture, Observation, Application, Prayer
June 9, 2022: SOAP #4571: Ecclesiastes 10-12; Psalm 94; Ephesians 5

SCRIPTURE: Ephesians (NIV) 5:15 Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, 16 making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. 17 Therefore do not be foolish but understand what the Lord’s will is. 18 Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit.

OBSERVATION:  As believers in Christ and His redeeming work on the cross it is very important how we live.  But as ones in whom Christ actual lives it is even more important that our lives show His presence.  It is important as a witness to those around us.   But it is even more important to honor Jesus and make him glad to share this body with me. 

APPLICATION:  I like to think of myself as the caretaker of my body/temple.  I need to always keep it clean and presentable.  I also see myself as the host for those who visit my area, especially as the host for Jesus, always the honored guest in my life. 

I have received His gift of justification and have set Him as the LORD of my life.  I know He came from the Holy and Loving capitol of the universe, and I want to make Him feel at home in my life. 

I want to understand God’s will and to stay full of the Holy Spirit. 

PRAYER:  Holy Spirit, make my life a pleasant home for Jesus.  I know there is so much in the world that breaks His heart; may I be one that brings a little joy to His heart. Amen
