Hi, welcome to my blog. If you
haven't visited before I put up daily SOAPs. SOAP stands for Scripture,
Observation, Application and Prayer. It's a great way to really take in God's
word on a daily basis and make sure that your doing more than reading but really
letting it soak into your life.
Scripture //
1 And he began to speak unto them by
parables. A certain man planted a vineyard, and set an hedge about it, and
digged a place for the winefat, and built a tower, and let it out to
husbandmen, and went into a far country. 2 And at the season he sent to the
husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of
the vineyard. 3 And they caught him, and beat him, and sent him away empty. 4
And again he sent unto them another servant; and at him they cast stones, and
wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully handled. 5 And again he
sent another; and him they killed, and many others; beating some, and killing
some. 6 Having yet therefore one son, his wellbeloved, he sent him also last
unto them, saying, They will reverence my son. 7 But those husbandmen said
among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance
shall be ours. 8 And they took him, and killed him, and cast him out of the
vineyard. 9 What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and
destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others. 10 And have ye
not read this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is become the
head of the corner: 11 This was the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our
eyes?
Observation //
The parable of the wicked husband man,
the indictment of religious leaders.
Application //
Religious leaders must follow the will
of God and reverence his methodology, message and his son. Man has destroyed
his relationship with God by sinning. Through Jesus that relationship can be
restored. As with Adam, who was placed in a garden, restored man is placed in a
vineyard. If we obey God, tend the vineyard and render our increase back to
God, then and only then will we be good servants.
Prayer //
Father; aid me in my struggle to be
faithful to you in all areas of my life, to be a faithful servant and a living
example of a good servant. Amen.
