1 OCT 22 Saturday SOAPS Devotional
(Scripture, Observation, Apply, Pray, Share)
Reading Plan: Psalm 107:33-43, 108:1-6; Hosea 11:1-9; Acts 22:17-29; Luke 6:27-38
Are we willing to listen to the Lord and do what he says?
S- But to you who are willing to listen, I say, love your enemies! Do good to those who hate you. Bless those who curse you. Pray for those who hurt you. Luke 6:27-28
O- For many Christians, we have surrendered our lives with a list of stipulations. I’ll follow you, but… People want a blessing that is associated with comfort, ease, or reward but don’t want a blessing that requires self-denial and suffering. God’s ways are not our ways and his blessings are not what we expect. They are better and not about us.
A- I will hear, believe, and obey what the Lord is telling me. I will obey regardless of the consequences.
P- Lord, thank you for the opportunity to follow and obey you. Thank you for entrusting us with the mission of reaching the nations before you return. Give us boldness to share and humility to submit regardless of the outcomes or consequences. Bless us with more of you and the will to do what you have asked. Amen.
S- V, K
