16 JUL 22 Saturday SOAPS DEVO
(Scripture, Observation, Apply, Pray, Share)
Reading Plan: Psalm 30, 32 Joshua 6:1-14; Romans 13:1-7; Matthew 26:26-35
S- Everyone must submit to governing authorities. For all authority comes from God, and those in positions of authority have been placed there by God. So anyone who rebels against authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and they will be punished. Romans 13:1-2
O- This is significant because Paul is speaking about the Roman Government. They were worse than many of the ones we see today. At the same time, God allows these, install, and destroys these systems. How then shall we live out the Christian life among different rulers? What is God trying to do in us and through us? The mission stays the same regardless.
A- I will stay focused on the mission of Jesus Christ and submit myself under his authority and of those appointed over me. I will seek to do his will no matter what governmental authority I live under.
P- Lord, I am thankful for the country you have placed me in and the freedoms we have. Help me to stay focused on the plan and mission you have set before me. The foolishness of our world only reveals the brokenness of the people. Allow us favor and effectiveness in reaching the lost and broken in every part of society. Amen.
