Pastor Leon’s SOAP:  Scripture, Observation, Application, Prayer
September 13, 2022: SOAP #4667: Ezekiel 33-35; Revelation 18

SCRIPTURE:  Ezekiel (NIV) 34:29 I will provide for them a land renowned for its crops, and they will no longer be victims of famine in the land or bear the scorn of the nations. 30 Then they will know that I, the LORD their God, am with them and that they, the house of Israel, are my people, declares the Sovereign LORD. 31 You my sheep, the sheep of my pasture, are people, and I am your God, declares the Sovereign LORD.’”

OBSERVATION:  This is a portion of God’s promise to Israel.  God desires a personal loving relationship with His people.  Israel was not just any nation, they were God’s nation; they were God’s people.

They depended on Him to be God.  He depended on them to obey and to represent Him among the nations. 

God wanted to be known as Israel’s God.  He wanted Israel to be known as God’s people! 

APPLICATION: I am not just any person; I am His person!  He is not just God; He is my God!  God wants me to live my life in such a way that it is obvious to the people around me that He is my God and I am His child. 

He depends on me to represent Him truthfully; He wants me to depend on Him to do what only He can do. 

PRAYER:  Heavenly Father, you are my God; I am your servant.  It is my honor and joy to be partnered with you.  As people get to know me, may they get to know you. Amen
