Pastor Leon’s SOAP: Scripture, Observation, Application, Prayer
November 13, 2026: SOAP #6188: Job 39, 40; 1Corinthians 13, 14

SCRIPTURE: 1Corinthians (NIV) 13:9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part,

OBSERVATION: It is easy for us to admit that we do not know everything. It should be just as easy for us to admit that we “prophecy in part.” The Bible states both as facts.

There is no member of my physical body that can provide for all the needs of my body. The eyes may observe the danger, but the ears hear the warning; and both are dependent on my legs to carry them to safety.

APPLICATION: The application of this verse is that we are all forced to depend on others. Even with the enabling of the Holy Spirit, I still need the other members of the body of Christ. Since my knowledge is “in part,” I must rely on others to fill in what is lacking in my knowledge. Since my prophecy is “in part” I must rely on others to fill in what is lacking.

We really do need each other.

PRAYER: Lord, you have designed my physical body in such a way that each part is dependent on the other parts. And you have designed your body, the church, the same way—we must depend on each other. Amen.
