| | Welcome back friends. Everyday I go through a new section of scripture and I journal about it. I have decided to share it with all of you. And it is done in an easy format that you can follow along with or even do yourself! The format is called SOAP, which stands for Scripture, Observations, Application, and Prayer. Please let me know what you think! Scripture: Honor Masters (1 Timothy 6:1-2) and Error and Greed (1 Timothy 6:3-10) Observations: Servants should show honor and respect to their masters to please God. 6:1 If the servants’ masters are believers, don’t despise them; but serve them in love. 6:2 If any one teaches anything unwholesome or that which is not in line with Christ, stay away for their minds are of greed. 6:3-5 Being content while being godly is beneficial. 6:6 Nothing of this world matters once your life is finished. 6:7 Be happy with what you have. 6:8 The desire for wealth only leads to misery and destruction. 6:9 The love of money is the cause of evil and many believers have fallen because of it. 6:10 Application: We should honor and respect those in authority, for God has placed them there for a reason. Do not despise them; serve in love. We should avoid those who teach falsely for their minds are full of greed. We should be content as true followers of God, because He is all tat will last beyond our lives; that should give us joy. We should not desire wealth because it is the great cause of evil and leads to destruction. Prayer: Lord, help me to honor and respect those in authority over me. Help me to serve with love. Help me to avoid those who teach falsely that I may avoid the pitfalls of their greed. Help me to be content in You. I know that You are my greatest reward. Let me not replace You in my heart with anything. |
