S - 1 Corinthians 15:10 But whatever I am now, it is all because God poured out his special favor on me—and not without results. For I have worked harder than any of the other apostles; yet it was not I but God who was working through me by his grace.
O - Paul is talking about how he has been blessed. He worked harder than any one else but is quick to point out that it wasn't him that got these results but instead it was God working through him.
A - Paul worked harder than anyone else and had special favor in his life. I too need to work harder than anyone else in everything that I do and just like Paul I will have special favor on my life as God is not a respecter of people. However, when this special favor is on men and both others and I notice this I need to be humble, just as Paul was, and point out that this favor is not me but that it is God working through me that gave me this favor. God is looking for a vessel to use for His kingdom and He will only use someone that is moving and working.
P - God, Help me to focus on the work that you have laid out for me and to not do it begrudgingly or out of obligation but instead out of a desire to do your will and to work harder than anyone else. Use me for your purposes and put your special favor on me. Guide me through my journey and help me to love, guide, and protect my family as well and to teach them to have this same passion and drive for you. Bless my family and me today and be with us and protect us.
