 11 JUN 22 Saturday SOAPS DEVO

(Scripture, Observation, Apply, Pray, Share)

...having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word. Ephesians 5:26

Reading Plan: Psalm 75, 76; Num. 3:1-13; Galatians 6:11-18; Matthew 17:1-13

S- It is God alone who judges; he decides who will rise and who will fall.  For the Lord holds a cup in his hand that is full of foaming wine mixed with spices.  He pours out the wine in judgment, and all the wicked must drink it, draining it to the dregs. Psalm 75:7-8

O- We desire justice when we have been wronged and when we see people that are doing things against God himself.  God is holy, just, and will never let anyone slide from receiving the punishment for sin, wickedness, and evil.  If we want justice, ask God as David did.  Leave it in his capable hands to work it out here in the temporal setting or eternally.  

A- I will not grip or gripe about injustice, but ask God to deal with it in his way or time.  I will trust in God’s sovereignty to use the situation for his glory and plans even though I might not understand.

P- Lord, we are put into situations where we desire justice, revenge, or satisfaction.  We need you to deal with the people that are wicked or evil toward us or enemies of the cross.  Help us to trust you and give us peace that you will deal with them in a manner you see fit. Amen.
