First Hear What Jesus Has To Say
S. O. A. P.
Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional!
S-cripture:
Isaiah 8:12
Do not call conspiracy everything this people calls a conspiracy; do not fear what they fear, and do not dread it.
O-bservation:
Isaiah was called of God to warn Judah of what was to come. Sin had so overcome the inhabitants of Jerusalem that folks saw a conspiracy behind every rock. The Lord spoke to Isaiah and said, “Tell them not to fear what they fear!”
A-pplication:
Indeed we are living in similar times as were the people of God in this text. Our nation has so turned away from the Lord that news reports sound more like a continual reality show than actual news. Folks have taken sides against each other to the point that civil conversation is no longer even sought after. The old philosophy of “Dialectical Materialism” is in effect as I write. It says, “Whether you’re winning or losing, just keep fighting, keep making waves, reject peace no matter what. Keep things stirred up. Promote conspiracy at every turn.” But that’s not the path God has called us to. Our call is to, “First Hear What Jesus Has To Say!” When we seek His voice and hear His direction the fear will go away. I’m positive!
P-rayer:
Dear Jesus,
I’ve heard all the voices on this matter. I just need to hear YOUR voice. I know when I hear YOUR voice I can move forward with confidence. Amen
