SCRIPTURE: Galatians (NIV) 1:15 But when God, who set me apart from birth and called me by his grace, was pleased 16 to reveal his Son in me so that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I did not consult any man,
OBSERVATION: God had a purpose to reveal Jesus to Paul. It was SO THAT Paul could spread the gospel among the Gentiles. Fulfilling that calling was a way that Paul could bring pleasure to God!
APPLICATION: God has assigned a purpose to each of our lives. Some have the high calling of being a parent, a mother or father to lives full of potential to please God. Often assignments change as we grow older or mature. But fulfilling those assignments is one way that we please God!
We do not earn our entrance into heaven; entrance for us was purchased by the death of Jesus on the cross. But God has promised to reward us for what we have done for Him while serving Him on earth.
Rewards will not be so much based on the greatness of the assigned task, but on the obedience and faithfulness of the servant.
PRAYER: Lord, your assignment to me for this time in my life is to write SOAPs. Find me faithful. By your Spirit, use the little I do to fulfill your purpose. Bless those working to take the SOAPs to the Muslims in Liberia. Give them good reward for their efforts. Bless those baptizing new believers in Sierra Leon. Bless all those in Africa, Asia, USA, and wherever who are using the SOAPs to bring you glory. May you be glorified as we each do our assigned “so that.” Amen
