19 NOV 22 Saturday SOAPS Devotional
(Scripture, Observation, Apply, Pray, Share)
Reading Plan: Psalm 107:33-43; Mal. 3:13-4:6; Jam. 5:13-20; Luke 18:9-14
Are you an observer or a participant?
S- Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working. James 5:16
O- James gives reason for caring for each other as the church. We have ups and downs in life and need to be there for each other in both. Prayer and care go together creating a powerful corporate resilience among the people. James’ charge is to everyone in the church, not just the clergy. There are no observers, everyone is to be involved.
A- I will pray with those who need prayer, sing praise with the joyful, and anoint the sick with oil. I will model and encourage others to actively pray and care for one another.
P- Heavenly Father, I rejoice in who you are and how you care for us. I’m thankful that Jesus speaks with you about our needs and that you will work your way through our lives. Thank you for giving us great power when we pray to bring comfort, healing, and even bring restoration to straying people. In that, we give hearty praise to your name. Amen.
S- C, J
