30 JUN 22 Thursday SOAPS DEVO
(Scripture, Observation, Apply, Pray, Share)
Reading Plan: Psalm 131, 132; Num. 23:11-26; Romans 8:1-11; Matthew 22:1-14
S- Those who are dominated by the sinful nature think about sinful things, but those who are controlled by the Spirit think about things that please the Spirit. For the sinful nature is always hostile to God. It never did obey God’s laws, and it never will. Romans 8:5, 7
O- We can get confused about people and why they do what they do. Why do they think that way? How can they not see their ways are wicked and evil? How can they be hostile to God? The reason is they are not capable without the Spirit residing in them. Their nature swims in evil and drinks it with pleasure. This is why we pray for them and share the good news.
A- I will not look down on those that are hostile to God and his ways, but lift them up to the Lord. I will accept the reality that there are many that reject the invitation the Lord is offering. I will press on to search for the ones that will turn from their evil and put their trust in Jesus.
P- Lord, we see evil and wickedness in our country. People are dominated by their sinful desires and become hostile when they are confronted with truth and the gospel. Break through their darkness and bring them to the light. Empower us in these days to faithfully pray, care, and share. Amen.
S- M, T, G, E
