SOAP 11/02/2011; Mark 12:24

Today's reading: Job 23,24; Mark 11,12

S) "24 Jesus said to them, 'Is this not the reason you are mistaken, that you do not understand the Scriptures or the power of God?'"

Mark 12:24 (NASB)

O) This one seems so simple and direct, but I don't want to dismiss it because it's not "deep." Misunderstanding the Scriptures or the power of God will cause me to be mistaken, when it comes to seeing what God has for me in the here and now.

A) First, keep doing what I am doing in reading and really digesting the Word on a daily basis. Second, and equally important, is putting myself in position to witness the power of God. Faith increases in both of these efforts as well, which really only raises my ability to see and hear God, in what He is doing now.

P) Father, I don't want to miss what You're saying. Give me open ears and open eyes, so I can hear and see what You're doing, Lord. Holy Spirit, continue to reveal more and more of what the Father has for me. God, I don't want the Gospel to be right in front of me and still miss it. I ask that You would bless me as I read the Bible, so that I am accustomed to tasting the truth. I ask that You reveal miracles to me, first hand, so that I am accustomed to experiencing Your power. Thank You for this grace I have. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
