\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Today we are reading Luke 2 as we read through all of Luke this month. Here is what stood out to me using the SOAP devotional<\/a> format:<\/p>\n

Scripture: Luke 2:16<\/h2>\n

So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Observation:<\/h2>\n

Once they got the word from God, they took off and went to check it out.<\/p>\n

Application:<\/h2>\n

When I hear from God, I need to just follow and do as instructed without hesitation.<\/p>\n

Prayer:<\/h2>\n

Oh gracious Father, thank you for loving me and continuing to guide me, even as I dilly dally.<\/p>\n

Guide me in becoming more action-oriented for you. Now I seem to want to mull things over and think out every point. Instead I need to listen, have faith and ACT, not ponder some more. Please guide me in being like those shepherds and jumping on the tasks you set before me.<\/p>\n

What about you:<\/h2>\n

Do you jump into action, or do you mull things over a bit more than you should? How can you (and I!) overcome that?<\/p>\n

Or, what did you hear in today’s reading?<\/p>\n
