SOAP - Deuteronomy 3, 4; Psalm 36; Mark 13

(S)cripture-
Psalm 36:9 For with You is the fountain of life; in Your light we see light.

(O)bservation-
God is the source of life and power for His people - He created us, sustains us, and is our never-ending source of power and strength. By His love and grace for us, He sent His Son to redeem us - as believers we have the water of eternal life through faith and hope in Jesus Christ. God shines His light on us and we receive His blessing and deliverance, and because of this we have fullness of life and everything that it was meant to be. Part of the fullness of life is the reproduction of life in others. By sowing the seeds of the Gospel of Christ and sharing with others we are giving them the opportunity to hear the Message and accept it, for the seed to take root and start to grow, creating new life for all who accept Jesus as Lord and Savior.

(A)pplication-
God is my well-spring of life - all of my strength is from Him - and it is only because of Jesus and His sacrifice on the cross and resurrection that I am redeemed and have the blessing from the fountain of eternal life. I want to share this with others - to live life to the fullest and be a great witness of God's love and grace so that others have the opportunity to hear the Gospel and also receive this most precious of gifts.

(P)rayer-
Father God, You and only You are my fountain of life - everything I have is because of Your great love and mercy and blessing. I commit myself fully to You and please use me to do Your work on this earth - to glorify Your name. Thank You for my salvation which is secure through You Son Jesus Christ and help me to sow the seeds of the Gospel so that they have the opportunity to grow in those who hear it - that they too may have the gift of eternal life. I love and praise You and I pray these things in the name of our blessed Savior Jesus Christ, Amen.
