SCRIPTURE: Revelation (NIV) 22:20 He who testifies to these things says, “Yes, I am coming soon.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.
21 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with God’s people. Amen.
OBSERVATION: As we come to then end of the last chapter in the last book of the Bible on the last day of 2026, it is a time to look back. I started writing SOAPs back in 2009, a few in October, a few in November and a few in December. I was hesitant about doing one on January 1, 2010. I thought if I did it the first day of the year I would need to do one every day of the year. Could I believe God for something every day for a year? The answer is YES! …every day for a year, a second year, a fifth year and now a 16th year!
Even as a small child I knew that God was calling me to be a missionary. Knowing that, I tried to carefully follow the Lord’s directions, even when they did not seem to fit into God’s calling. Even when Pastor Dayton asked me to write the SOAPs, I did not understand what God was doing. But today I do! SOAPs are going into 20+ nations in Africa and Asia. They carry a fresh word from the Lord every day. God is using the SOAP team in Sierra Leon to do the ground work of a great spiritual awakening. I get several reports every week of God’s hand being extended. It is like reading the book of Acts: healings, miracles, dreams, etc.
APPLICATION: The question was not would God speak to me every day. The question was: would I take time to listen every day?
If we really believe God is omnipotent (all-powerful), omniscient (all-knowing), and omnipresent (present everywhere), we would be very foolish not to pay attention to what He says.
PRAYER: Lord, thank you for your willingness to speak to us. Holy Spirit, teach us to listen and obey. Thank you for the joy you give us as we follow your directions. Amen
