23 SEP 22 Friday SOAPS Devotional
(Scripture, Observation, Apply, Pray, Share)
Reading Plan: Psalm 88; Esther 8:1-17; Acts 19:21-41; Luke 4:31-37
Do you know God can override the will of his creation?
S-Once when he was in the synagogue, a man possessed by a demon-an evil spirit-cried out, shouting. Go away! Why are you interfering with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are-the Holy One of God! Luke 4:33-34
O- The power of God over the will of creation is tough to grasp. He is all-powerful and is not limited in any way. A demon has overpowered a man and is controlling his very life. The demon recognizes Jesus and is upset that he is about to be destroyed or at least permanently removed from the host. With a word, Jesus changed the life of the demon and the man.
A- I will trust in the Lord to do all he desires and change the hearts of those I share with. I will give thanks that he can do far more than I can think, imagine, or understand.
P- Lord, you are an awesome wonder. We cannot process the magnitude of what you can do. We object to your ability to override our will, but without it, we would never come to know you or do your will. Thank you for changing those that you have drawn to yourself and helping us to be all that you desire us to be. Amen.
S- M, L, K
