S.O.A.P
S (Scripture) - (Romans 8:35-39)
[35] Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death? [36] (As the Scriptures say, “For your sake we are killed every day; we are being slaughtered like sheep.”) [37] No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us. [38] And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. [39] No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord."
O (Observation) - In life we may face hard times in different seasons, however, this passage of Scripture encourages us that our circumstances doesn't define God's love for us.
A (Application) - Let's allow our faith to be rooted in a God who never changes regardless of the world around us that does.
P (Prayer) - Thank you God for your unfailing love for us. May we hold on to the truth found in Scripture regardless of what we face in life.
Self-reflection: Are there any areas of my life where I've allowed my circumstances to dictate my faith in God? How can I realign my perspective on the truths of the Bible and not on my circumstances?
