Today’s reading is Acts 24. I’m glad to be back posting again. :)
And I guess today’s SOAP is just a reminder to be patient with myself on that front, too.
Scripture: Acts 24:27
When two years had passed, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus, but because Felix wanted to grant favor to the Jews, he left Paul in prison.
Observation:
TWO YEARS! Paul sat and waited for TWO YEARS and then some! In that time he shared his story and Jesus’ story.
Application:
I can be impatient at times. I want things to happen without waiting. I want to see change.
TWO YEARS really grabbed me.
If Paul can be patient sitting in prison, I can be more patient when it comes to my requests.
Change will happen in His time. And, to be honest, I can see it when I really stop and look.
I need to be patient… with others and also with myself… while still working toward the goals.
Prayer:
Lord, thank you for this reminder.
I will try harder to be more patient. I will remember those TWO YEARS. I will try to remember eternity.
Thank you.
