SOAP - 1 Samuel 18; 1 Chronicles 6; Psalm 11; Matthew 3

(S)cripture-
1 Samuel 18:14 In everything he did he had great success, because the Lord was with him.

(O)bservation-
David was a man after God's heart and committed himself fully to obeying and serving Him - this is what gave him success.

(A)pplication-
I want to be successful like David was; not success on my terms but God's terms and in His timing. Success to me would be to use the gifts I've been blessed with and use them to fulfill His purpose for my life and perform the work of His Kingdom with everything I have and to the best of my ability. The goal is that when I stand before Him one day that He would say 'Well done good and faithful servant'.

(P)rayer-
Father, thank You for Your great gift of eternal life through You Son Jesus and that our future is secure. While I am on this earth help me to achieve success on Your eyes - to fulfill Your calling and purpose and to do Your will not mine. Please always be with me and lead me through Your Holy Spirit with power that I would stay on the path to success and have the strength, courage, and conviction to win for Your Kingdom. I love and praise You and pray these things in Jesus' name. Amen.
