Pastor Leon’s SOAP:  Scripture, Observation, Application, Prayer
September 20, 2022: SOAP #4674: Daniel 5-6; Psalm 130; Luke 3

SCRIPTURE:  Psalm (NIV) 130:5 I wait for the LORD, my soul waits, and in his word I put my hope.

OBSERVATION:  In this verse, the Psalmist ties two thoughts together:  waiting for an answer from God and the Word. 

Of course, if we are really waiting on the Lord, reading and meditating on His word is  a valuable way to spend time.  

APPLICATION:  It is good to be faithful in reading God’s Word.  When I need some direction from the Lord, I do not use the Bible as a dictionary or encyclopedia.  I do not go to the concordance to find a word that will give me direction.  I just start reading at the place I left off yesterday!  It is much better to get the answer God has for me, than to look to find an answer that sounds good to me.  It is amazing the scriptures in which God has answers for me. 

PRAYER:   Heavenly Father, Your Word is a love letter you have sent me.  Your Word is the primary way you communicate with me. Your Word is the ground in which my faith grows.  Amen
