SOAP Scriptures: Jeremiah 32 24  Behold, the siege mounds have come up to the city to take it, and because of sword and famine and pestilence the city is given into the hands of the Chaldeans who are fighting against it. What you spoke has come to pass, and behold, you see it. 25 Yet you, O Lord God, have said to me, “Buy the field for money and get witnesses”—though the city is given into the hands of the Chaldeans.’” 26 The word of the Lord came to Jeremiah: 27 “Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh. Is anything too hard for me? Galatans 6 9 And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. Psalm 144 English Standard Version My Rock and My Fortress Of David. 1 Blessed be the Lord, my rock,    who trains my hands for war,    and my fingers for battle; 2 he is my steadfast love and my fortress,    my stronghold and my deliverer, my shield and...

SOAP Scriptures Psalms 143 English Standard Version My Soul Thirsts for You A Psalm of David. 1 Hear my prayer, O Lord;    give ear to my pleas for mercy!    In your faithfulness answer me, in your righteousness! 2 Enter not into judgment with your servant,    for no one living is righteous before you. 3 For the enemy has pursued my soul;    he has crushed my life to the ground;    he has made me sit in darkness like those long dead. 4 Therefore my spirit faints within me;    my heart within me is appalled. 5 I remember the days of old;    I meditate on all that you have done;    I ponder the work of your hands. 6 I stretch out my hands to you; my soul thirsts for you like a parched land. Selah 7 Answer me quickly, O Lord! My spirit fails! Hide not your face from me, lest I be like tho...

SOAP Scriptures:  Psalm 143 1  With my voice I cry out to the Lord; with my voice I plead for mercy to the Lord. 2  I pour out my complaint before him; I tell my trouble before him. 3  When my spirit faints within me, you know my way! In the path where I walk they have hidden a trap for me. 4 Look to the right and see: there is none who takes notice of me; no refuge remains to me; no one cares for my soul. 5  I cry to you, O Lord; I say, “You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.” 6  Attend to my cry, for I am brought very low! Deliver me from my persecutors, for they are too strong for me! 7  Bring me out of prison, that I may give thanks to your name! The righteous will surround me, for you will deal bountifully with me. 2 Thessalonians 2:13-17 English Standard Version Stand Firm 13  But we ought always to give thanks to God for you, brothers beloved by the Lord, bec...

Event: The Arrival of my relatives SOAP Scriptures Psalm 141 English Standard Version Give Ear to My Voice A Psalm of David. 1  O Lord, I call upon you; hasten to me!    Give ear to my voice when I call to you! 2  Let my prayer be counted as incense before you,    and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice! 3  Set a guard, O Lord, over my mouth;    keep watch over the door of my lips! 4  Do not let my heart incline to any evil,    to busy myself with wicked deeds in company with men who work iniquity,    and let me not eat of their delicacies! 5  Let a righteous man strike me—it is a kindness;    let him rebuke me—it is oil for my head;    let my head not refuse it. Yet my prayer is continually against their evil deeds. 6  When their judges are thrown over the cliff,[ a ]    then they sh...

SOAP Scriptures: 2 Thessalonians 1 Thanksgiving 3 We ought always to give thanks to God for you, brothers,[ a ] as is right, because your faith is growing abundantly, and the love of every one of you for one another is increasing. 4 Therefore we ourselves boast about you in the churches of God for your steadfastness and faith in all your persecutions and in the afflictions that you are enduring. The Judgment at Christ's Coming 5 This is evidence of the righteous judgment of God, that you may be considered worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you are also suffering— 6 since indeed God considers it just to repay with affliction those who afflict you, 7 and to grant relief to you who are afflicted as well as to us, when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels  Observation: Giving thanks in all circumstances is a very important TO DO for every believer and follower of CHRIST. I believe this is one of the BE ATTITUDES because when we giv...

SOAP SOAP Scriptures: Psalm 139 English Standard Version Search Me, O God, and Know My Heart To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. 1 O Lord, you have searched me and known me! 2 You know when I sit down and when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from afar. 3  You search out my path and my lying down    and are acquainted with all my ways. 4  Even before a word is on my tongue, behold, O Lord, you know it altogether. 5  You hem me in, behind and before, and lay your hand upon me. 6  Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high; I cannot attain it. 7  Where shall I go from your Spirit?    Or where shall I flee from your presence? 23 Search me, O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts![ c ] 24 And see if there be any grievous way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting![ d ] 1 Thessalonians 5:23-28 English Standard Version 23 Now may the God of peace...
