Pastor Leon’s SOAP:  Scripture, Observation, Application, Prayer
May 28, 2023: SOAP #4924: Proverbs 7-9; Romans 9

SCRIPTURE:  Romans (NIV) 9:4 …Israel. Theirs is the adoption as sons; theirs the divine glory, the covenants, the receiving of the law, the temple worship and the promises.
5 Theirs are the patriarchs, and from them is traced the human ancestry of Christ, who is God over all, forever praised! Amen.

OBSERVATION:  God had only One Son and could send him to the world through only one family, living in one nation.  He died on only one cross — once and for all.  God blessed the world through Israel.

God, the Son, is God just as the Father and the Holy Spirit are God!  Verse 5 above tells us that Jesus is “God over all.” The human body by which he entered His time on earth as a man was a descendent of King David and back to Abraham.  He was a Jew.  He was sent as a love gift from God to sinful people through the nation of Israel. 

APPLICATION:  I am amazed that God loves me enough to die in payment for my sins.  I am honored that Jesus would enter my heart.  I am so thankful that He has cleansed me from sin.  I am blest that Jesus would share my life and walk with me through every day.  I am joyful that He talks to me and makes His ways open to me.  I am relieved that He is not hard to please.  I am privileged to have His presence with me every day. 

PRAYER:   Lord, you are “God over all.”  What a changes you make in my life.  As you continue to live in me, you continue to reveal yourself to me and bring change to me.  It is my pleasure to walk through each day with you!   Amen
