Scripture -Matthew 1 - birth and preparation of Jesus
"When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife." Matt. 1:24
Observation - We may make our plans, but God has the final say (Proverbs). Man may cast his lots, but his every decision is from the Lord (Psalms). I am sure Joseph and Mary had different plans for their lives, but God's decisions were sovereign, and they willingly and joyfully submitted once they heard God's voice.
Application - Thank you, God, that you know the plans you have for us. Every decision made by others is from you. I trust in your DIVINE PLAN.
Prayer -When I hear your voice, God, and see your decisions made through the vessels of others, I pray to willingly and joyfully submit to you, trusting you.

Good for you, Stacy! I love the SOAP acronym and definitely plan to use it. God does indeed have His own plans - bigger and better plans than ours. How wise of us when we obediently submit to Him!
