Pastor Leon’s SOAP:  Scripture, Observation, Application, Prayer
April 21, 2023: SOAP #4887: 1Samuel 24; 1Chronicles 8; Psalm 57, 58; Matthew 8

SCRIPTURE:  Psalm (NIV) 57:9 I will praise you, O Lord, among the nations; I will sing of you among the peoples. 10 For great is your love, reaching to the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the skies. 11 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth.

OBSERVATION:  How great is God’s love!!!  In this verse, God’s great love reaches to the heavens.  There is no place in the universe where God’s love does not reach.  There is no sin that is greater than God’s love.  God’s love is so great that He gave the greatest treasure in heaven (the life of His Son, Jesus) to redeem fallen man. 

APPLICATION: His love is so great that if you have not yet confessed your sins and given your life to Him, you can do that in this moment.  Praying is just talking to God.  Talk to Him right now as though He is right there with you—He is!  Tell Him you are a sinner.  Ask Him to forgive your sins.  Invite Him to live in your life.  Ask Him to help you make your life a home in which He will enjoy living. 

Now as you continue in your day, just remember that He is with you.  You will see a change in your perspective.  He will cause you to see things as He sees them. 

He is so close, so you can talk to Him anytime.  He is so important you will enjoy spending time just with Him.  When you gather with other believers, God will draw your attention to things the pastor/preacher/teacher says.  Remember them and start applying those truths in your life.  The Holy Spirit will give you thoughts in your mind to help you. 

PRAYER:   Holy Spirit, use these simple thoughts to draw SOAP readers into an enjoyable and continual relationship with you.  Amen.
