22 SEP 22 Thursday SOAPS Devotional
(Scripture, Observation, Apply, Pray, Share)
Reading Plan: Psalm 83; Esther 7:1-10; Acts 19:11-20; Luke 4:14-30
S- But one time when they tried it, the evil spirit replied, I know Jesus, and I know Paul, but who are you? Acts 19:15
O- Who knows that you belong to Jesus? Jesus knows who belongs to him and who doesn’t. The devil and demons know this as well. Someone who thinks they are a disciple because they go to church, do church activities, or are baptized doesn’t make them His. Any more than standing in a garage, makes you a car. There are plenty of these false converts in church.
A- I will remember the high calling of Jesus on the lives of his people. I will give thanks for choosing me and allowing me the honor of glorifying him with my life.
P- Lord, it is sad to know that there are people who believe they are yours and are not. It is painful to know that some use the church as a cover for profit or power. Ultimately, you know who belongs and who does not. You have said the wheat and the tares grow up alongside each other and for us not to worry, but to leave them to you to sort out. Help us to stay faithful and obey, amen.
S- V, A
