S - Romans 4:5 But people are counted as righteous, not because of their work, but because of their faith in God who forgives sinners.
O - Faith without works is dead. However, it is not the works that are counted as rigtheousness. Instead it is the faith which then produces the works. This is a very fine line in my mind. We do things that other people can see and say something like "Wow, they have a lot of faith!" However, there is a way to also do things that are done with a wrong heart trying to prove something to someone.
A - My actions need to be reviewed daily. Am I doing something because of my faith in God or am I doing something to prove something to others or show that I am a good person. I need to be ever aware of my reasons for doing something and the only right reason for doing something is to show God my love and appreciation for Him. This adoption is that; God has asked us to take care of the orphans and widows and I want to honor and serve Him by doing just that. He has said whatever you do for the least of these, you do for me. I want to serve God because all of what He has done for me!
P - God, I pray that you look into my heart and tell me if I'm doing something for the wrong reason. I pray that you give my your eyes and your understanding to truly know that my actions are those done to serve, honor, and praise you. I believe that you are the ture and only God and that you have poured out everything for me. I just want to pour out everything that I have as well and serve you with everything that I have and everything that I am. I pray that you would bless my family and me today and that you would bring healing to this little girl and remove the aches, pains, and sickness that Christa is experiencing. You have promised health and healing in your word and I just cling to that and expect that to happen quickly. I love you Lord! Thank you for all that you have done for me and continue to do for me.
