11 JUL 22 Monday SOAPS DEVO
(Scripture, Observation, Apply, Pray, Share)
Reading Plan: Psalm 25, Joshua 2:1-14; Romans 11:1-12; Matthew 25:1-13
S- So this is the situation: Most of the people of Israel have not found the favor of God they are looking for so earnestly. A few have-the ones God has chosen-but the hearts of the rest were hardened. Romans 11:7
O- The Lord is not finished with the Jews or the Gentiles until he sounds the final horn. The reality is that many will be saved based on the free and unmerited favor of God. God has chosen those that will be with him and the rest hardened against him. That is the reality and mystery of faith.
A- I will give thanks to God for allowing me to be one of his children. I will be humble knowing that I did nothing to merit any attention or salvation from God. I will live in a manner that honors the sacrifice Jesus made to bring about eternal life.
P- Lord, Peter says these writings of Paul are difficult. They are not difficult to understand, but to process the heaviness of their reality. The fear of you rings true in the text, but so does your amazing grace. Help me to live in a manner that is worthy of your Son’s sacrifice. Amen.
S- Mac, Niel,
