25 OCT 22 Tuesday SOAPS Devotional
(Scripture, Observation, Apply, Pray, Share)
Reading Plan: Psalm 45; Proverbs 25; Rev. 11:14-19; Luke 11:27-36
S- If your enemies are hungry, give them food to eat. If they are thirsty, give them water to drink. You will heap burning coals of shame on their heads, and the Lord will reward you. Proverbs 25:21-22
O- God gives us wisdom that is definitely not ours or to our liking at times. We want revenge and satisfaction and justice as soon as we can get it. We want 10 times the punishment that is required, but God has other plans. Love your enemy, pray for them, and do good to them. Evil and sin will always be punished and justice rendered either through the cross or hell. That’s enough and it is satisfying.
A- I will choose the hard path that God has given me and trust him to bring justice. I will surrender my will to retaliate to one of mercy and love.
P- Heavenly Father, your ways are not like our ways and you have plans for everyone’s lives that we are not privy to. You make some for honor and others for dishonor. In your love for us, you show us wisdom in handling our problems or problem people. Help us to do your will and not our own for your glory and our good. Amen.
S- K, R
