There are many thrilling stories and I'm sure several nice lessons to learn from this chapter, but today I'm going to SOAP on a verse most people probably wouldn't have chosen...
Scripture:
"Everyone was amazed and gave praise to God. They were filled with awe and said, "We have seen remarkable things today."" ~Luke 5:26
Observation:
This verse comes right after Jesus performs one of his awesome miracles. After the miracle, everyone was amazed!
Application:
I know this is kinda continuing the lesson I pulled out yesterday, but it is so good I must say it again: When you totally surrender yourself to God, He will use you and you will see remarkable things happen! You will be a fantastic witness for God, and everyone will be amazed at what He is doing.
Prayer:
Dear God, I know I've said this before, but I do say it again with a sincere heart: I surrender all to You. I know that I can't do this by myself. Please help me to stick with this decision, and when I have a fight with self, help me to still stay surrendered to You. I know that when I do surrender all to You, amazing and remarkable things will happen. Please show me what You would want me to do. Amen.

Some lessons are worth repeating--I found myself basically reviewing the same lesson I learned from yesterday's Bible reading as well. :) Maybe God just really wants us to "get it!"
