26 NOV 22 Saturday SOAPS Devotional
(Scripture, Observation, Apply, Pray, Share)
Reading Plan: Psalm 137:1-9; Zech. 14:12-21; Phil. 2:1-11; Luke 19:41-48
Are you living individually and communally the way God desires?
S- Do nothing from rivalry or conceit but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests but also to the interest of others. Phil. 2:3-4
O- For the community of faith, having the marks of generosity and humility speak volumes to the world around us. It is a testimony of our love for each other “in” the church. It brings the church closer when we genuinely care for each other. This does not mean that we leave people in their sinful lives or license for our own. Love and participation in the Spirit leave no room for ungodliness.
A- I will check my motives and focus to guard against selfish ambition and pride. I will not merely live for my own wants and needs but seek the welfare of my fellow believer.
P- Heavenly Father, you have plans on how your people should act with each other. It is difficult for us to individually pursue you and live godly and at the same time be accountable to one another. We need your Holy Spirit to infuse generosity, love, and wisdom in us to accomplish this lifestyle. Bless us to be the way you desire. Amen.
S- K, L
