23 NOV 22 Wednesday SOAPS Devotional
(Scripture, Observation, Apply, Pray, Share)
Reading Plan: Psalm 119:145-176; Zech. 12:1-10; Eph. 1: 3-14; Luke 19:1-10
We are saved not on our own accord, but by the sovereign choice of God.
S- even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love, he predestined us for adoption through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will. Eph 1:4-5
O- The magnitude of our Lord and savior blows the mind. Before he made anything or anyone, he had a plan and that included establishing a relationship with the fallen man. He specifically chose people from out of all the people in history to be his people and they would ultimately be holy and blameless. This should cause those that are “his” to rejoice, not get bent out of shape.
A- I will rejoice knowing that I’m counted among the elect, the chosen. I will seek to grow in holiness and share the hope in Jesus with others.
P- Mighty and everliving God, you are amazing and beyond our understanding to fully comprehend. Even the knowledge of your choosing people before they were created to be yours blows our minds. Help us to long to see you and to hunger after your word. Give us joy in your salvation and a passion for the mission. Amen.
S- L, M
