28 AUG 22 Sunday SOAPS DEVO

(Scripture, Observation, Apply, Pray, Share)

Reading Plan: Psalm 148, 149, 150; Job 11:1-20; Rev. 5:1-14; Matt. 5:1-12

S- Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

O- Jesus searched for the lost to be his followers.  As he shared the good news and taught from the Scriptures, people would surrender to him.  The poor in spirit are those that recognize their brokenness, sin, and need for him. Those are the ones that the Spirit has worked on and the message has affected.  This is what we will see as we seek and share.

A- I will faithfully seek the lost and share the gospel.  I will recognize the signs of those that are being drawn by God to salvation.  I will learn to press or let go based on their response.

P- Lord, I appreciate that you initiate relationships because we would not seek you or know you otherwise.  Help us to faithfully share and leave the results to you.  Help us to encourage our fellow disciples to obey the commands of Christ and engage the lost no matter the cost. Amen.

S- J, M
