 3 MAY 22 Tuesday SOAPS DEVO

(Scripture, Observation, Apply, Pray, Share)

Reading Plan: Psalm 26, 28; Proverbs 3; Exodus 19:1-16; Matthew 3:7-12

S- My child, never forget the things I have taught you.  Store my commands in your heart.  If you do this, you will live many years, and your life will be satisfying.  Proverbs 3:1-2

O- My mom has taught me many things about the Lord.  Frankly, I wouldn’t be here without her guidance and care.  She instilled in me the love for God’s word and encouraged me to read and memorize it from an early age.  Unfortunately, I didn’t understand that early enough and lived unsatisfying life for a season.  I understand now that God is my satisfaction and joy.

A- I will continue to read and memorize the Scriptures and remember the things that my mom has taught me.  I will be thankful that God has shown me how to be satisfied in him and find my true identity and purpose in him.

P- Lord, I thank you for the love of my mom to invest your wisdom in my life.  Thank you that your word took root in my life and that I have satisfaction in you.  Lord, help me to invest in others and encourage my children in your ways.  Amen.

 2 MAY 22 Monday SOAPS DEVO

(Scripture, Observation, Apply, Pray, Share)

Reading Plan: Psalm 25; Proverbs 2; Exodus 18:13-27; Mark 1:1-17

S- So follow the steps of the good, and stay on the paths of the righteous.  Proverbs 2:20

O- The benefits of studying the proverbs help you chart the narrow path of holiness and righteousness.  There are times in life when you can barely tell how to proceed or are just blind.  It is given to you when you seek righteousness, and faith becomes your eyes as you walk through difficult times or decisions.

A- I will seek the wisdom of God so that it becomes light on my path.  I will trust it even though the world and culture around me think it foolish.  

P- Lord, life is difficult, filled with wicked and evil people, and there are difficult choices to be made every day.  Give me the wisdom to navigate this life and the faith to endure.  May you be glorified and I fortified.  In your name, Amen.
