SOAP (Romans 14:22)

S - Blessed is he who finds no reason to pass judgement upon himself for what he approves.

O - This passage of Scripture speaks to a condition of life: A life tormented by fear of offering an unworthy sacrifice. Blessed is he who can come before the throne confident of his gift he has to offer. It is not a life unexamined, on the contrary it is one that has gone through much pain to find himself blameless in the eyes of the Lord as well as the eyes of his brethren. It is a life that has given up much so it may have no regrets or second guesses. It is blessed because it is free, and it is free because it is motivated only by love.

A - What a destination to hope to arrive. A blessed life indeed.

P - Lord help me not be discouraged as I am going through much pain to be found blameless offering a worthy sacrifice.
