9 OCT 22 Sunday SOAPS Devotional
(Scripture, Observation, Apply, Pray, Share)
Reading Plan: Psalm 146, 147; Micah 6:1-8; 1 Cor. 4:9-16; Matt. 15:21-28
Are you seeking God's lost sheep?
S- Then Jesus said to the woman, “I was sent only to help God’s lost sheep-the people of Israel.” But she came and worshiped him pleading again, “Lord, help me!” Matthew 15:24-25
O- Jesus came to seek and to save that which were lost. Initially, he came for Israel, but we see here Jesus filtered this Gentile woman as well as Legion, the Centurion, and the woman at the well. While they all seem random, Jesus intentionally sought these encounters. He was reaching people that were not of the Jewish Fold. As Jesus said, I have other sheep not a part of this fold. I must bring them also.
A- I will continue to seek after the lost sheep of God no matter the race, tribe, or tongue. I will trust that He has chosen and prepared them to receive the invitation and rejoice with the angels when one is found.
P- Lord, thank you for intentionally seeking after your lost sheep. Empower us to faithfully share the good news and trust that you will bring all that you desire into the fold. Help us not to filter by anything, but the gospel. May we find all that is around us. Amen.
S- K, M, R
