11 JUL 24 Thursday SOAPS Daily Office Devotional
Daily Office: Year 2 Week of the Seventh Sunday After Pentecost (Proper 8)
(Scripture, Observation, Apply, Pray, Share)
Reading Plan: Psalm 18:1-20; Deut. 3:18-28; Romans 9:19-33; Matthew 24:1-14
S- “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for my name’s sake. And then many will fall away and betray one another and hate one another.” Matt. 24:9-10
O- In every generation, you may see what is said to come in Matthew 24, but understanding the times is critical. Why? It reminds us that our life has meaning, and purpose, and is connected to a greater mission. Our intentionality of serving Christ faithfully must come into focus in light of the times because hell is hot, life is short, and eternity is long. There are people who need to hear the good news before it is too late.
A- I will continue to love, care, and share despite the indifference and rejection of others. I will continue to seek the lost and train the saved to be disciple-making disciples.
P- Heavenly Father, thank you for preparing us for what will come to those marked by your name. Help me not to be surprised or shrink back from obeying your commands when trials come. Empower me to love my enemies and trust you in my suffering that you are there with me. In your great name, I pray, amen.
S- Anna, Tony, David, Isaiah, Israel, Chris
