#soap # 2 Corinthians 03 ## Title: The Author of It All ## Scripture: (2 Corinthians 3:5-6) “Not that we are adequate in ourselves to consider anything as if it were coming from ourselves, but our adequacy is from God, who made us adequate to be servants of a new covenant not based on the letter but on the Spirit, for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.” (NET) ## Observation: God truly is in control of all things. There really isn’t a more hopeful thought. No matter what happens and even if you believe that God has given us full rights to choose our own journey, God is still ultimately in control. He can make all things work out for His purposes in our lives. Then, when we realize how much He loves us, all is well. ## Application: Trust the Lord to give you what you need, when you need it, to perform His will. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for showing us a good, good Father.
