HE Speaks

Pastor Leon’s SOAP:  Scripture, Observation, Application, Prayer
July 28, 2023: SOAP #4985: Isaiah 53-56; 2Peter 2

SCRIPTURE:  Isaiah (NIV) 55:9″As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. 10 As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, 11 so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.

OBSERVATION:  God’s Word is powerful and effective.  It is not an explosive power, but an aimed power.  It is power with purpose.  God does not speak just to hear himself speak.  His words are purposefully spoken.  They have been sent with an assigned purpose. 

APPLICATION:  When the Creator of the Universe speaks, I should listen.  I must pay attention to every word! 
–I must consider what.  What is God saying? I should write it down, so I do not forget! 
–I must consider why.  Why did God tell me that? 
–I must consider: What response will please the Lord?  How do I apply what God said to my life? 

PRAYER:  Heavenly Father, it is my honor that you speak to me.  You share your thoughts with me!!!   May my response be proof that I heard you and understand what you are asking of me.  Amen
