SOAP 02/02/2012; Psalm 16:2

Today's reading: Exodus 33,34; Psalms 16; Acts 9

S)"2 I said to the LORD, 'You are my Lord;
I have no good besides You.'"

Psalm 16:2 (NASB)

O) The concept of lordships is fairly lost in today's world. Back in time, you would serve a lord or pay him tribute, but not out of fear of the lord. It was because, in return, that lord would offer protection and provision in times of need.

A) God is my Lord, not simply because I submit myself to His rule, but because He offers me everything good! Whatever is healthy, enjoyable, satisfying, secure, edifying, nurturing - whatever is good - it comes from Him, and Him alone. It's important that I continue to make deliberate declarations that I have no good besides the LORD.

P) Father, You are my Lord; I have no good besides You. Let this be my continual prayer, in Jesus' name. Amen.
