NIV Luke Chapter 2 S.O.A.P.

Here we are at Chapter 2. Caesar has issued a decree that a census should be done and Mary & Joseph head back to their home town to register. During that time she gives birth to Jesus and the Shepard's get visited by an Angel, Jesus goes Jerusalem to fulfill the Law of the Lord where they encounter Simeon & Anna. As Jesus is growing up in Chapter 2 they go every year to the Feast of Passover and at the age of 12 he got left behind but was found in the Temple with teachers listening and asking questions.

I kept looking for a verse that would stick out to me, and one did.

S.O.A.P.

Scripture

Luke 2:14
Glory to God in the Highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rest.

Observation
Glory to God! Peace on Earth to men who are in his favor. I know I know here I am back at Favor again. I think hes trying to tell me something!

Application
I tell my girls in good time Praise Him, in bad times Praise Him. Win or Loose PRAISE HIM. This would be a case of I need to practice what I preach!! I will pray and ask for God things or situations to work out etc but I forget to praise Him! I do get around to it..but I need to praise Him not only then but when things don't go as I would have them planned. I don't give Glory to God like i should in all situations. Then of course I am back to the Favor part. I do want God's Favor, I need to give the Glory to him!

Prayer

Dear Lord,

Glory be to you! I need your help today..I am stumbling and struggling and the Devil is sure in my way today. I want to do better in Praising and Glorifying you, I also want your favor Lord. Help me to do better in giving Glory to you.

Amen
