EP 68- SOAP Luke 17 Attitude of Gratitude

A season of SOAP is back again! The SOAP episodes have been the most downloaded episodes and I am bringing them back!

Each Friday I will release a SOAP episode! SOAP is an acronym for Scripture, Observation, Application, and Prayer. You can journal along as God reveals what He has to say to you each time you SOAP.

In this episode I get the honor of SOAP'ing Luke 17 with my friend and author Amy Brandes. I have interviewed her before in episode 20 when she had released her book, 'On Purpose- A Journey to Loving Your Life'.

We read from the NLT bible and Amy observed in Luke 17:16-17 when Jesus healed 10 lepers and 1 thanked Jesus. She shares how God has been dealing with her on having an attitude of gratitude. She says our daily lives and relationships can be strong or weak based on what we focus on. We can choose to focus on what is going wrong or what is going well and our attitude will match where our focus is fixed. She encourages us not to be tempted by what the majority of people are doing- because the majority is not always right as seen in this scripture. She encourages us to look at other people in the best of light and in their childlike innocence. She says it is important to cultivate a grateful heart in order to avoid bitterness and unforgiveness. She recommends talking to others about what you are thankful for as well as serving others.

I chose verse 11-19 and 31-33 from the ESV bible. I love when my guest and I unknowingly pick the same verses! God was speaking to us about the very same thing! In my SOAP I mention that when God delivers us from something that He commands to us not look back to our old ways of living. That the only time to look back on our former ways is to thank Him, like the leper did after He healed him. We discuss how thankful we are for God pursuing our hearts as we were traveling the wide road that leads to destruction and how He placed us on His narrow path that leads to Life.
