Knocking and Waiting

Pastor Leon’s SOAP:  Scripture, Observation, Application, Prayer
August 29, 2026: SOAP #6112: Ezekiel 4-7; Revelation 3

SCRIPTURE:  Revelation (NIV) 3: 20 Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me.

OBSERVATION:  This was a special message to the church in the city of Laodicea, a church that was neither hot or cold, one that the Lord threatened to “spit them out of His mouth.” 

But even though they had a bad record and did not meet His standards, He was not willing to give up on them.  He still loved them enough to take the first step in restoring their relationship.  He did not wait for them to come running back to Him; He was standing as their door knocking and waiting for them to invite Him in. 

APPLICATION:  God’s love for us is amazing.  He cares enough to make the first move to show His love for us.  He is willing to knock at the door of our heart and wait for us to respond.  He is willing to share our provisions with us however meager they may be.  And He is willing to share His provisions with us however great they may be. 

PRAYER:  Lord, thank you for setting your conviction in my heart to draw me to you.  May I never be so foolish to keep you waiting when you are ready to enter the difficult areas of my life and help me.  Amen
