7 JUL 22 Thursday SOAPS DEVO
(Scripture, Observation, Apply, Pray, Share)
Reading Plan: Psalm 18:1-20; Deut. 3:18-28; Romans 9:13-33; Matthew 24:1-14
S- For the Scriptures say that God told Pharaoh, “I have appointed you for the very purpose of displaying my power in you and to spread my fame throughout the earth.” So you see, God chooses to show mercy to some, and he chooses to harden the hearts of others so they refuse to listen. Romans 9:17-18
O- This passage makes some upset and others at peace. God’s mercy and grace are a remarkable blessing to his children. When you realize whether God directly reveals himself to you or decides not to, it expands your understanding of his sovereign grace. It helps you understand peoples’ responses to the gospel and directs your focus to the ones who respond.
A- I will give thanks to the Lord and rejoice in his mercy and grace in my life. I will praise the Lord whenever I find another of his kids among the lost and pray for those that are hard against God and his gospel.
P- Lord, you are so good to me. Thank you for giving me the joy of your salvation and honoring my life as pleasing to you. Help me not to take you for granted and give me a fresh passion for knowing and serving you. I love you, Lord. Amen.
S- J, E, M
