SOAP stands for Scripture, Observation, Application and Prayer. Today’s journal comes from reading Isaiah 46.

Scripture

“I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is no one like Me, declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things which have not been done, saying, “My purpose will be established, and I will accomplish all My good pleasure.” –Isaiah 46:9-10

Observation

God is more than an idea we have opinions about; He is real, He has demonstrated Himself, and there is no one like Him.

God alone knows and declares what is to come

God will always accomplish His purposes

Application

Discover God’s purposes and get on His side. His purpose will prevail, and I can be a winner with Him.

Prayer

Father, I praise You as the one and only God. You reign over all–including Your enemies. You will accomplish all You purpose to do. Father, might I not presume I know or project my desires upon You. Sometimes I wonder what You are doing and am confused by what happens. But I trust Your wisdom, love,  and power will ( in due time) prevail. And so, I follow and I trust You.

Amen.
