Here is a guest SOAP journal from Mandy, Administrative Assistant for TSCM.

SOAP stands for Scripture, Observation, Application and Prayer. Today’s journal comes from reading Psalm 17.

Scripture

“As for me, I shall behold Your face in righteousness; when I awake, I shall be satisfied with you.” –Psalm 17:15

Observation

David is praying for deliverance from the wicked–men of the world whose portion is in this life. David ends the Psalm with, “I shall be satisfied with you.”

Application

Be satisfied with God and His likeness more than the things of this world or in this life. Make quality time (daily) for God and sit at His feet.

Prayer

Lord, help me to love You more. You are enough. There are people and things in this life that I love, but help me to love YOU more and to be satisfied with You.

Thank You, Lord, for your love and mercy. Amen.
