23 MAY 22 Monday SOAPS DEVO
(Scripture, Observation, Apply, Pray, Share)
Reading Plan: Psalm 80; Proverbs 23; Colossians 1: 9-14, Matthew 13:1-16
S- Don’t waste your breath on fools, for they will despise the wisest advice. Proverbs 23:9
O- If you ever watch street debates on hot topics, you realize pretty fast that people will not receive what you are saying. The louder and more frequently they talk, the less likely they will hear or understand. Save yourself some pain and frustration. Find those that are willing to hear.
A- I will use the wisdom you give to help me be more effective in life and ministry. I will pray for those that are hard ears, hard-hearted, and engaged when they are ready.
P- Lord, we encounter fools regularly and some areas of life like social media and crowds are a magnet for them. Help us to be wise in our conversations and pray earnestly for others to be open when sharing the good news or advice. Amen.
S- M, J
