*Monday: Exodus 10:1-12:13; Matthew 20:1-28; Psalm 25:1-15; Proverbs 6:6-11
*Tuesday: Exodus 12:14-13:16; Matthew 20:29-21:22; Psalm 25:16-22; Proverbs 6:12-15

*Saturday: Exodus 19:16-21:21; Matthew 23:13-39; Psalm 28:1-9; Proverbs 7:1-5
Our S.O.A.P. for this week is from Psalm 25:
Scripture: Psalm 25:4-5
4 Show me your ways, LORD, teach me your paths. 5 Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.
Observation
This is a psalm of David. David tells us in verse 4 that it is the LORD who shows us His ways and teaches us His paths. He acknowledges that if it wasn't for the LORD who showed us and taught us, we would not be able to really know Him, or know his paths.
This verse is like a prayer, too. David is asking the LORD to show him the way. David is teachable. He asks the LORD to teach him His paths. David truly desires to KNOW the LORD. The Hebrew word for "Show" in verse 4 is 'Yada' (transliterated), which means "to know", "learn to know", "reveal oneself". David is asking the LORD to reveal himself, to show himself, to make himself known.
David loves the LORD so much, he desires nothing more than to be close to Him, and to know Him deeply. Why? The answer is in verse 5. David knows and acknowledges that God is his "LORD and Savior", and David's hope is in Him all day long.
Application
It is my heart's wish as well to get to know God deeply and intimately, to know his ways, and to live by his truth. I want to become a true friend of Him more and more. Not a disciple who knows a lot ABOUT God, or a disciple who does a lot of things FOR God, but a true friend of Him who wants to hang out with Him, in prayer and in meditating on his word. I like to be the hands and feet of Jesus in a rather harsh world that doesn't seem to care to find out who God really is.
Prayer
Dear Heavenly Father, I pray that you show us your ways oh LORD. I want to follow your path and live by your truth. My heart's desire is to get to know you more and more. Reveal yourself to us daily through the power of your Holy Spirit. In Jesus Name. Amen.
Have a blessed week.

Week 4: Seizing the Opportunities of the Day
This week's Bible reading unfolds like this:
*Sunday: Genesis 44:1-45:28; Matthew 14:13-36; Psalm 18:37-50; Proverbs 4:11-13
*Monday: Genesis 46:1-47:31; Matthew 15:1-28; Psalm 19:1-14; Proverbs 4:14-19
*Tuesday: Genesis 48:1-49:33; Matthew 15:29-16:12; Psalm 20:1-9; Proverbs 4:20-27
*Wednesday: Genesis 50:1-Exodus 2:10; Matthew 16:13-17:9; Psalm 21:1-13; Proverbs 5:1-6
*Thursday: Exodus 2:11-3:22; Matthew 17:10-27; Psalm 22:1-18; Proverbs 5:7-14
*Friday: Exodus 4:1-5:21; Matthew 18:1-20; Psalm 22:19-31; Proverbs 5:15-21
*Saturday: Exodus 5:22-7:25; Matthew 18:21-19:12; Psalm 23:1-6; Proverbs 5:22-23
Scripture: Genesis 45:5-8
"But don’t be upset, and don’t be angry with yourselves for selling me to this place. It was God who sent me here ahead of you to preserve your lives. This famine that has ravaged the land for two years will last five more years, and there will be neither plowing nor harvesting. God has sent me ahead of you to keep you and your families alive and to preserve many survivors. So it was God who sent me here, not you! And he is the one who made me an adviser to Pharaoh – the manager of his entire palace and the governor of all Egypt."
Observation:
The account of Joseph’s revealing himself to his brothers is for me one of the most touching moments in biblical history. When I read this today, I felt myself standing in the room with Joseph and his brothers. I could see the grim despair on the brothers’ faces. I could hear the anguish in Judah’s voice as he pled to take Benjamin’s place as Joseph’s slave. I could feel the emotion building in Joseph’s chest as the moment of truth approached – when he could no longer keep his identity from his brothers. I can hear his loud, heaving sobs echo off the palace walls as the words broke out in his native tongue, which he hadn’t spoken out loud for years: "I AM JOSEPH!"
I wonder at what point Joseph realized that God was the one who sent him to Egypt. It could not have been when he was falsely accused by Potiphar’s wife and left languishing in prison for years. Joseph, it seems, always landed on his feet. The same gifts that elevated him in Potiphar’s house helped him succeed in prison. After he interpreted the cupbearer’s dream and asked him for help to gain clemency, he may have thought his time of release had finally come. Alas, it wasn't so.
How did Joseph pray during that season of his life? How did he feel about his circumstances? What did he think about in the quiet of the night? At that point could Joseph have imagined what God had in store for him? Perhaps he did. Joseph did not become someone else when he was elevated to Egypt's second in command. He was in every situation simply, authentically, himself. Joseph didn’t know how...or when...but even in the darkest hours his life revealed hope and faith. He seemed always to be, in a word, centered.
Application:
I’m not Joseph, but I am the recipient of the promise that God will never leave or forsake me. I want to be like Joseph in the sense of being simply, authentically, myself. I want bloom where I’m planted and take full advantage of the opportunities that each day hands me. Like Joseph, I want to position myself to be ready for "whatever is next" by faithfully attending to the things that God puts on my plate today. So today my goal is to take full advantage of...today!
Prayer:
O Lord, this is a day that you have made, and it is something unique and wonderful. There will never be another one exactly like it. I want to rejoice and be glad in it. I want to be faithful to the opportunities you bring to me and cherish every moment for the gift that it is. Please open my eyes to see your beauty. Open my mind to see the opportunities you’ve placed right in front of me...and quicken my reflexes so I can take full advantage of them before they pass like a fleeting vapor. Please slow me down when I’m going too fast and speed me up when I’m going too slowly. Please go before me and behind me. Please be on my left and on my right. Be above me and below me. Help me feel you all around me...every moment of today...for Jesus’ sake. Amen.
Have a great week of SOAPing!
Faithfully,
Chuck

Week 3: Dying to Live
This week's Bible reading unfolds like this:
*Sunday: Genesis 31:17-32:12; Matthew 10:24-11:6; Psalm 13:1-6;
Proverbs 3:16-18
*Monday: Genesis 32:13-34:31; Matthew 11:7-30; Psalm 14:1-7;
Proverbs 3:19-20
*Tuesday: Genesis 35:1-36:43; Matthew 12:1-21; Psalm 15:1-5;
Proverbs 3:21-26
*Wednesday: Genesis 37:1-38:30; Matthew 12:22-45; Psalm 16:1-11;
Proverbs 3:27-32
*Thursday: Genesis 39:1-41:16; Matthew 12:46-13:23; Psalm 17:1-15;
Proverbs 3:33-35
*Friday: Genesis 41:17-42:17; Matthew 13:24-46; Psalm 18:1-15;
Proverbs 4:1-6
*Saturday: Genesis 42:18-43:34; Matthew 13:47-14:12; Psalm 18:16-36; Proverbs 4:7-10
Scripture: Matthew 10:38, 39
"If you refuse to take up your cross and follow me, you are not worthy of being mine. If you cling to your life, you will lose it; but if you give up your life for me, you will find it."
Observation:
The way of Jesus Christ is antithetical to the way of the world. The world teaches that it is virtuous to succeed. The world encourages upward mobility. Crosses are for losers! If you give up your life for anything except yourself and your dreams, you are a fool.
Jesus exposes this fatally flawed "wisdom." You will lose your life if you cling to it. You will only find the elusive prize the world longs for by doing exactly the opposite of what the world teaches. We find life by surrendering it to Jesus Christ. Crosses are for Saviors...and for those who wish to be saved.
Application:
When I read this passage, it made me reflect on how I might be clinging to my life...and what I might have to do to surrender my life for Jesus. I’m sure I default to clinginess when I’m not looking. I am deeply grateful for my job, for my colleagues, for my students, for all the exciting opportunities I have to serve Jesus, for my family, for my wife, and for my belongings.
But I cannot be clingy. In fact, Jesus says that I must give up my life. But how? By adopting a "non-clingy" attitude toward everything that is my life? By holding it all with "open hands?" How do I sustain a spirit of relinquishment without becoming indifferent, passionless, and ungrateful? Is Jesus asking me to walk away from everything...to follow him away from my life? He does not say that I have to be willing to give up my life. He says that I must give up my life. It is not enough to say, "I would if I could."
The account of Abraham’s sacrifice of Isaac, which we read last week, comes to mind. Isaac was Abraham’s life. Everything was riding on Isaac. God’s promises...Abraham’s legacy...everything lived or died with Isaac. Abraham died the moment God told him to offer his son. As Abraham made his way toward the place of sacrifice, Isaac was already as good as dead. The writer of Hebrews says that Abraham believed that God would raise Isaac from the dead to fulfill his promises. Abraham never doubted that God would keep his promises. Abraham sacrificed his life to God because he knew that God would give it back to him. Isaac would live.
So it is with us! In a real sense we give up our lives...knowing that by doing so...only by doing so, will we truly live. We give up our lives to God because it is the only way to truly keep our lives. This is the mystery of our salvation: we die to live!
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, we died with Jesus Christ in baptism, and in him we die daily. With the Apostle Paul we declare that it is no longer we who live but Christ who lives in us. And the life that we live, we live by faith in your only Son, who loved us and gave himself for us. All praise, glory, and honor be to you, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, now and forever...amen!
Have a great week!

Chuck

Week 2: In charge of God's possession
Well, I've talked to a number of you who have taken a copy of the new reading plan and have committed to read the Bible in 1 year. That is absolutely FANTASTIC!! Getting started is 50% of the grade. Following through on your commitment by reading every day is the other 50%!
Please look at Week 1 for the schedule. You can follow along on-line at www.oneyearbibleonline.com, or grab a hardcopy at the church. We can send you pdf files with the schedule as well if you are interested. Just shoot us an e-mail.
This week's SOAP is from Psalm 8:
Scripture
1 LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens. 2 Through the praise of children and infants you have established a stronghold against your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger. 3 When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, 4 what are mere mortals that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them? 5 You have made them a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned them with glory and honor. 6 You made them rulers over the works of your hands; you put everything under their feet: 7 all flocks and herds, and the animals of the wild, 8 the birds in the sky, and the fish in the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas. 9 LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!
Observation
In this Psalm, David sings praises to God for the wonders of creation. And he praises human beings for being the crown of God's creation. First he marvels at the fact that God even is mindful of mere mortals (v4), but then he proclaims that human beings are almost equal to heavenly beings ("gods" in some translations). It is then that he mentions that human beings are made rulers over the works of God's hands, and that everything in creation is put under their feet. David ends the Psalm the way he started it: "LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!"
Application
It is mind boggling to think that God made us almost equal to the heavenly beings. We are made in His image, which means we look like Him in many ways. Not just that, but He also put us in control of creation. We do not always realize that, but this Psalm says that we are in charge of God's property... his creation. We are not the owners, but God is. We better be very careful with his possessions. That includes forests, seas, animals, AND... other people! All of this is God's property, and we are leasing it for a little while. I don't know about you, but that feels to me like a big responsibility. The good thing is that God has given us his wisdom as well, so we can execute this task the way He likes to see it.
Prayer
Dear Heavenly Father, we thank you for your creation. We thank you for creating us into your image. It is almost too hard to fathom, yet it is true that you have put us in charge of this wonderful place. Help us to take good care of this world, and of its people that you have entrusted us with. LORD our Lord, how majestic is your name, and the name of your son, Jesus, in all the earth! Amen.
Have a great week.
In Him,
Dick

Week 1: A new year, a new plan...
Welcome to 2012! Congratulations to those of you who finished last year's reading plan. It is very satisfactory to completely finish reading the Bible in exactly 1 year!! Well done!!
As we have done every year so far, we'll tweak the reading plan somewhat to keep it interesting for all. This year we will read from the "One Year Bible" daily reading plan:
http://www.oneyearbibleonline.com/
If you have a mobile phone that allows downloading apps, you can download the free 'Holy Bible' app, and follow this exact same reading plan along on your phone. Simply go to
http://www.youversion.com/mobile
and download the app that goes with your phone. If your phone isn't smart enough (like mine!), you can still follow along on-line on your computer. The reading plan for the month of January can be found here:
http://www.oneyearbibleonline.com/january.asp?version=51&startmmdd=0101
For those attending Woodhaven Community Church, we also have hard-copies of the current month on the back table. Because it's the first week, you will also find the readings at the bottom of this blog :)
I pray you will have a blessed year 2012, and that your relationship with the LORD will grow deeper and deeper as you dig into his word on a daily basis. The Bible is so rich. It will transform your life if you come expectantly and humbly every day. If you do your part in terms of reading, the Holy Spirit will do his work in terms of life transformation. It is a guarantee from God himself!
In Him,
Dick

It is a guarantee from God himself!
In Him,
Dick
