1 JUL 22 Friday SOAPS DEVO
(Scripture, Observation, Apply, Pray, Share)
Reading Plan: Psalm 140, 142; Num. 24:1-13; Romans 8:12-17; Matthew 22:15-22
S-And since we are his children, we are heirs. In fact, together with Christ, we are heirs of God’s glory. But if we are to share his glory, we must also share his suffering. Romans 8:17
O- We love the benefits of being connected to God through Jesus and hope to be in heaven when we die. We cannot hope for this eternity in glory if we will not submit our lives in totality to God’s will. That means we will share in his suffering being rejected when we share the gospel, experience hostility and indifference, and possibly persecution and death.
A- I will bless the Lord in the good times and the bad. I know that the path to life is a narrow road that leads to suffering for a little while, but is nothing compared to the glory I will see.
P- Lord, each day I yield my life to you come what may. Empower us to do your will even if it means that I will suffer because of it. In that suffering, I know that it brings you glory. Amen.
S-K, R,
