28 OCT 22 Friday SOAPS Devotional
(Scripture, Observation, Apply, Pray, Share)
Reading Plan: Psalm 40, 54; Proverbs 28; Rev. 13:1-10; Luke 12:13-31
What are you spending and being spent for?
S- Then he said, “Beware! Guard against every kind of greed. Life is not measured by how much you own.” “Yes, a person is a fool to store up earthly wealth, but not have a rich relationship with God.” Luke 12:15, 21
O- In our human nature, we are inclined to seek after what the world has to offer and its ways. It can consume our energy and focus until it becomes an idol we worship. Jesus says this person is a fool because they have sacrificed their life for temporary things and have not invested their energy into the very thing that matters. God is the most important pursuit in life.
A- I will guard against the draw of this world in either stuff or ideas. I will spend and be spent to know God and make him known.
P- Heavenly Father, forgive me for pursuing the things of this world and its ways. Help me to guard against this draw and to pursue you with all my might. Give me wisdom, guidance, and a passion to follow you all of my days. Amen.
S- K, M,
