SOAP: How to get things done

Scripture:

I can do all things through Christ

who gives me strength.

Philippians 4:13

Observation:

He will give you the strength you need to get done what you need to do.

Application:

1. Go to Him.
2. Ask for guidance.
3. Follow it.
4. ROCK your (sometimes revised) goals.

This, of course, is my interpretation and my experience. I find that when I go to Him and talk about what I think I need to do or want to do, He guides me and I end up doing much, much better than when I go all rogue.

Does that mean I’m making millions, that my family acts and looks like the most beautiful Christmas card and I am achieving every initial goal on my timeline?

No.

What it does mean is that when I truly go to Him and listen, awesome stuff happens. My path is often altered, but I have no doubt it is turning out much better in the long run than it ever would have without Him.

He IS my strength.

Prayer:

Father God,

Thank you for listening to me and for guiding me. Thank you for being my strength. Please, Father, continue close to me. I need you. I really can do all things through your son, Jesus Christ, who gives me strength. You set me on my path. You give me what I need to go. Thank you.
