Examine Yourselves.

November 24, 2020       Today we will be looking at one passage from the Bible and complete the S.O.A.P to encourage everyone with it.  Scripture:  2 Corinthians 13:5 Examine yourselves, to see whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Or do you not realize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you fail to meet the test! Observation:  Paul at the end of his letter challenged the audience to examine and test themselves. He writes this because he knows that one can be self-deceived and think they are on the right path when in reality, they are far gone. He reminds the audience that those who are God’s children, have his spirit that lives in them. Application:  I must constantly; daily be examining myself in the light of God’s word. I must test myself to see whether I am in faith or not. How can one examine themselves? It happens behind the doors on my knees when I am looking into my heart and opening it up to God and asking him to test me. It happens when

When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.

What can flesh do to me? 8 You have kept count of my tossings; put my tears in your bottle. Are they not in your book? 12 I must perform my vows to you, O God; I will render thank offerings to you. 13 For you have delivered my soul from death, yes, my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of life. Observation:  David put his trust in the Lord in it all and believed that God hears every cry and prayer of his. Because of God’s love towards David, he thanks him and makes vows to him.  Application:  Just like David, I have the privilege and right to put my trust in the Lord. Even when everything seems like it's going against me, I shall put my trust in the Lord. I must believe that God h

 November 5, 2020     Today we will be looking at one passage from the Bible and complete the S.O.A.P to encourage everyone with it.  Scripture: Exodus 14:13-16 13 And Moses said to the people, “Fear not, stand firm, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will work for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall never see again. 14 The Lord will fight for you, and you have only to be silent.” 15 The Lord said to Moses, “Why do you cry to me? Tell the people of Israel to go forward. 16 Lift up your staff, and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it, that the people of Israel may go through the sea on dry ground. Observation: God said that he would lead Israel out of Egypt; so what they had to do is to stay firm and believe that. Israel did not have to fight for themselves or create chaos because it was all in the Lord’s hands. All they had to do is to be silent and see God’s glory. God fights, they just go forward by the word of the Lord.  Application: Pr
