Every Day In Every Way

"God make us, we don't make Him; apply these steps (SOAP) in my life so that I can grow into the Woman of God He desires me to be"

SCRIPTURE
Acts 14:8-10 There was a man in Lystra who couldn't walk. He sat there, crippled since the day of his birth. He heard Paul talking, and Paul, looking him in the eye, saw that he was ripe for God's work, ready to believe. So he said, loud enough for everyone to hear, "Up on your feet!" The man was up in a flash—jumped up and walked around as if he'd been walking all his life.

Acts14:14-15 When Barnabas and Paul finally realized what was going on, they stopped them. Waving their arms, they interrupted the parade, calling out, "What do you think you're doing! We're not gods! We are men just like you, and we're here to bring you the Message, to persuade you to abandon these silly god-superstitions and embrace God himself, the living God. We don't make God; he makes us, and all of this—sky, earth, sea, and everything in them.

OBSERVATION
I am a girl that was lost since the day I was born. I was born in sin and then God in an instance picked me up from my muck. WE DON'T MAKE GOD, GOD MAKES US!

How amazing that the One and Only God would take the time to mold and shape me. Not only in this season of my life but in many to come, I need God to precisely do that, make me and mold me into what He desires me to be.

How effective that in any instance in my life I can sit before God and ask what is it that You would like me to observe God. How can I apply this to my work and life; and then to bring it before Him in prayer.

This is a life lesson and life behavior.

APPLICATION
In all things to ask God what He desires for me to learn. To take the time and be still before Him and go through this process. I believe it will save me a lot of grief for the future.

PRAYER
Lord, how amazing You are. Lord thank You for opening up the scriptures to me. Thank You that I have the Holy Spirit to guide and teach me. I pray that You'll teach me in every day life to apply this easy steps. I want to take each moment that You are teaching me, learn from it and apply it. Obedience is not just listening but acting upon it! God give me the grace to do so! In the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
