SOAP stands for Scripture, Observation, Application and Prayer. Today’s journal comes from reading Isaiah 14.

Scripture

“For the Lord of hosts has planned, and who can frustrate it? And as for His stretched-out hand, who can turn it back?” –Isaiah 14:27

Observation

God has plans.
He will execute His plans.
No one can prevent God from doing as He wants.

Application

Ever since the Garden of Eden, people have sought to thwart the plans of God. At times, it seems as if people are succeeding. But they aren’t. God will always prevail in the end. Make sure you’re on the Lord’s side and going along voluntarily with what He is doing!

Prayer

Father, thank You that You are not a passive God. You have plans, and You are working to bring them about. Thank You that those plans include me! I want to cooperate with all that You are doing. I pray for strength to never compromise and be swayed by those who are fighting against You! They’ll never win. You will prevail!

Hallelujah!

Amen.
