S - Romans 9:32 Why not? Because they were trying to get right with God by keeping the law instead of by trusting in him. They stumbled over the great rock in their path.
O - Here he is talking about Israel and how they were not all going to be saved even though they were His chosen people. They were too busy trying to keep His laws that they weren't trusting in Him.
A - I too need to be aware of this same thing. God has placed commandments and authority with rules in my life but if all I do is try to follow these without trusting in Him, I will be missing the greatest command of all, To love the Lord with all my Heart, Soul, and Mind. By following this command I am really trusting Him with my life. If I do this, all of the other commandments and rules should fall into line because my heart is right and my trust is squarely placed on Jesus.
P - Heavenly Father, today I firmly place my trust in you! I give you my life and my heart. Lead me and protect me. I desire to be with you and to follow your paths. Make straight your path and help me to have the strength to follow and be open with others of this complete and utter trust I have in you. I love you. Bless my family and me today.
