S - Galations 4:18 If someone is eager to do good things for you, that’s all right; but let them do it all the time, not just when I’m with you.
O - Paul is again talking about how there are false prophets trying to win over the Galations. These people were doing good to the people in an effort to get their minds and support away from Paul and the good news.
A - There are still people like that today. Their message is a message to pleasure and of false hope which is wrapped in a lie and flattery. Although this may be enticing at the time, I need to step back and use the Godly wisdom that I have and see if this message lines up with God's word. No matter how flowery or pretty this message is if it doesn't match up with what I know is right from the Bible and through talking with God, then I know to reject it and keep far away from it. They may also come and be extremely nice and pleasant people and even bend over backwards to help me and my family but this to is potentially just an effort to win me over to their message. Keep far away from these people.
P - God, You alone are God and worthy of every single amount of praise and worship that I can give you. Thank you for all the blessings that you have poured out on my life and on my wife and children's lives. I come to you today and ask for healing; healing for Christa's aunt and healing for the illness that is going through our home. You are a God of healing and you laid your Son's life down in a way to bring healing and we ask that you bring it quickly. Help me today to guard my heart and mind from those individuals that are bringing a message that differs from what your word says. Give me wisdom and understanding to know when people are truly bringing hope and good news and not when it is lies and flattery. Bless my family and me today.
