Pastor Leon’s SOAP:  Scripture, Observation, Application, Prayer
August 19, 2022: SOAP #4642: Jeremiah 45-47; Psalm 105; John 21

SCRIPTURE: Psalm (NIV) 105:4 Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always. 5 Remember the wonders he has done, his miracles, and the judgments he pronounced…
8 He remembers his covenant forever, the word he commanded, for a thousand generations,

OBSERVATION:  When God created man, He created him in His image.  We have many similar characteristics.  One special likeness is memory.  In the above verses, we see that there are special things we are to remember.  We are to remember the times God did things that only God could do.  We are also to remember the promises of judgment he will send if we continue in sinful ways.  

But we see that God also has a memory.  He remembers His promises.  He remembers His covenants—His promises He swore to people, binding them with a sacrifice.  How special the promise He has given that is sealed with the sacrifice of His Son, Jesus, on the cross. 

APPLICATION:  When I confess my sins, God remembers the sacrifice of Jesus!  He forgives me.  Now it is for me to remember what forgiveness cost the Holy God.  My sin could not be ignored; a proper sacrifice was needed; a sacrifice that could only be made by Jesus.  When I remember what He has done for me, is anything too great for me to do for Him?  

PRAYER:  Lord, I confess my sins!  I give you my life!  I invite you to live your life in me.  I set you as Lord over my life.  Forgive me for forgetting promises I have made to you.  Help me remember my promises to you and your promises to me.  Amen
