My SOAP: 7/4/20
Reading plan: 2 Kings 15-16; Hosea 1; Hebrews 1
S - Hosea 1:7 Yet I will show love to the house of Judah; I will save them- not by bow, sword or battle, or by horses or horsemen, but by the Lord their God.
O - Judah had done nothing to deserve God's favor. God chose to save them. Judah survived not because of physical strategies, but because God chose to save them.
A - I must be thankful because God has saved me. I am like Judah with nothing to offer and I am no better than my neighbor. I want to recognize that every good thing in my life is from God and is a gift. I deserve nothing.
P - Thank you for your gift of mercy. I only have life because of you. Thank you for being my God.
