SOAP: show me your glory


S - Blessed is everyone who fears the LORD,
who walks in his ways!
You shall eat the fruit of the labor of your hands;
you shall be blessed, and it shall be well with you.
Your wife will be like a fruitful vine
within your house;
your children will be like olive shoots
around your table.
Behold, thus shall the man be blessed
who fears the LORD.

The LORD bless you from Zion!
May you see the prosperity of Jerusalem
all the days of your life!
May you see your children’s children!
Peace be upon Israel!
— Psalm 128 (ESV)

O - Those who stand in awe of God are good. They will have what they need. Their work will be rewarding. Their spouse and children will be a blessing. Yes, it is well with those who know God. They live long in peace.

A - I don't nearly glory in God enough. He is tremendous. Consider the works of his hands. Think about his Son. Marvel at what has happened these last few months. How good is our God? He is far beyond what I can imagine... yet the things in front of me can so easily capture my attention.

P - Show me your glory God! Never let up! Remind me of your character, your power, your faithfulness. Thank you for your promises. Teach my heart to trust and hope in you.
