13 SEP 22 Tuesday SOAPS Devotional
(Scripture, Observation, Apply, Pray, Share)
Reading Plan: Psalm 61, 62; Job 41:1-11; Acts 16:6-15; John 12:9-19
S- One of them was Lydia from Thyatira, a merchant of expensive purple cloth, who worshiped God. As she listened to us, the Lord opened her heart, and she accepted what Paul was saying. Acts 16:14
O- We come to faith, not by our own natural ability, but by a transformation of the heart by the Holy Spirit. We are made spiritually alive and are able to respond to the good news of Jesus. All that are awakened by the Holy Spirit will respond to the call. When someone rejects the message, their heart is not prepared and cannot receive it.
A- I will faithfully pray for those that I am seeking to reach, asking for a God prepared person that is ready to be found. I will not get discouraged or frustrated when people do not receive Him because salvation is the choice and work of God.
P- Lord, the mystery of faith can be confusing and frustrating especially when we desire a loved one to know you. I trust that you will have mercy on those you desire to have mercy. You will reach your sheep and they will recognize your voice. Help me to stay bold and share with everyone since I don’t know who belongs to you. Amen.
S- J, M
