SOAP - August 18

Scripture
Luke 3:22 ...the Holy Spirit, like a dove descending, came down on him. And along with the Spirit, a voice: "You are my Son, chosen and marked by my love, pride of my life."

Observation
It may have been said before & I'm sure it'll be said again, but today I need to hear it - God loved & was proud of Jesus before He lifted a finger in ministry. Up until this point, out of their love for one another, Jesus had cultivated His 'being' - increasing in wisdom & in stature & in favour.

Application
Chillax - August hasn't gone exactly to plan but rather than getting wound up by that, spend today, basking in His love for you & responding in kind to Him, yourself & others.

Prayer
Let me feel Your love & sense your smile throughout today & may I behave in ways that bring you glory.

Thanks - Jonathan
