Pastor Leon’s SOAP:  Scripture, Observation, Application, Prayer
May 05, 2023: SOAP #4901: 2Samuel 10; 1Chronicles 20; Psalm 20; Matthew 22

SCRIPTURE:  Psalm (NIV) 20:1 May the LORD answer you when you are in distress; may the name of the God of Jacob protect you.
2 May he send you help from the sanctuary and grant you support from Zion.
3 May he remember all your sacrifices and accept your burnt offerings. Selah
4 May he give you the desire of your heart and make all your plans succeed.
5 We will shout for joy when you are victorious and will lift up our banners in the name of our God. May the LORD grant all your requests.

OBSERVATION:  Here is a special blessing from the Lord in His Word.  Today I send this blessing to all those who work to prepare and provide the SOAPs for others. 

My brothers and sisters, we have stumbled into God’s work.  God used Pastor Dayton Poe to give me the assignment of writing daily SOAPs, (which I did not want to accept at the first) and God has used various ways to join others in this SOAP ministry.  This ministry is not something anyone planned, but as we were faithful in the little things, God has made it grow! 

APPLICATION:  I pray you find the strong hand of the Lord with you in time of trouble.  I pray for our Heavenly Father to send you help from heaven’s courts and may He lead the people of Zion to give into your ministry as He directs them.  May God see the sacrifices you have made to spread the SOAPs.  May He fulfill your desires.  I have, and I will continue to “shout for joy” and spread the good news of your victories.

PRAYER:   Lord, your blessings from your Word!   Amen
