He’s Been Around FOREVER

October 11, 2026

S. O. A. P. Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional! S-cripture: Psalm 146:5 Blessed are those whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the Lord their God. O-bservation: King David had defeated a lot of foreign kings. I’m sure he had observed and even studied who or what they worshipped. But in the final analysis David said, “Make sure your hope is in the Lord God of Israel, that’s where your help will truly come from.” A-pplication: As I pondered this SOAP passage this AM, I thought to myself, “The same God that David was speaking of is the same God I worship, Jesus Christ.” Then I thought to myself, in my small finite way of thinking, “He’s Been Around FOREVER!” There is something comforting about worshipping the one true God who is ALWAYS there when you call Him. He’s ALWAYS listening and He’s ALWAYS acting in our behalf. Sure there are times you wish our God would respond differently, but that’s because He knows and we don’t what is in front of us. So when I don’t know, HE KNOWS. That’s all I need to move forward. Besides, “He’s Been Around FOREVER!” P-rayer: Dear Jesus,

Too Little Too Late

October 10, 2026

S. O. A. P. Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional! S-cripture: Luke 23:47 The centurion, seeing what had happened, praised God and said, “Surely this was a righteous man.” O-bservation: After Jesus had hung on a cruel cross and endured excruciating pain for the better part of a day, he died. Shortly after, one of the soldiers walked by the cross, looked up, thought about it and said, “This was definitely a good man.” A-pplication: If there was ever a time where the statement “Too Little Too Late” applied, it is with this soldier who did nothing to change anything, but instead uttered an inconsequential word we already knew. That seems to be the order of our present day. People will make a personal un-thought out statement, post it on social media, and walk away like they did something worthy. They’ve done nothing but draw the applause of a few of their friends, or the rage of someone else they don’t know. This could be called the “Too Little Too Late” generation. There was a time when dreams, rolled up sleeves, and hard work produced a harvest, but now it’s supposed to come instantaneously, with little or no effort. But

In Case You Have An Important Meeting Today

October 9, 2026

S. O. A. P. Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional! S-cripture: Nehemiah 1:11b Give your servant success today by granting him favor in the presence of this man. O-bservation: The servant of the Lord who was making this request was Nehemiah. He was King Artaxerxes’ cupbearer and he had a need to lead a group of Jewish people, who were exiled in Babylon, back to Jerusalem to rebuild the wall. He was preparing to ask Artaxerxes for permission that day, but first stopped and asked the Lord to give him success and favor with the man he would speak to. A-pplication: “In Case You Have An Important Meeting Today,” why not first do what Nehemiah did. In preparation for his meeting with the king, he first had a meeting with HIS KING. He asked the Lord for success and favor before he talked to the king. Any important meeting with earthlings needs to be prefaced with a prayer meeting with OUR KING. Never mistake emphasizing the temporal over the eternal. When you talk to Jesus FIRST … The WALL will get built before you know it. P-rayer: Dear Jesus, Before any of my important meetings today, I need Your favor

SOAP STANDS FOR:

S – Scripture
O – Observation
A – Application
P – Prayer

When you study God’s Word using the SOAP method, you are choosing one verse out of that day’s reading and focusing on it in several ways. The SOAP method is a 4-step Bible study process that allows you to dive deep into God’s word and actively apply it to your life. Here are the four steps you will take.

S – Scripture

Write down the Bible passage you’ll be studying and spend time really thinking about the verse itself and what is happening in that verse.

O – Observation

Really look at the text and write down your observations. You might write about:

  • What jumps out to you in the passage?
  • Who is it written by? Who is it written to?
  • What’s one thing you didn’t notice before?
  • What seems interesting or unusual?
  • What comes before and after the text?

A – Application

In the applications step, you will apply God’s Word to your life in a practical way. This is where you personalize your study of Scripture. As you read over the text, how does it apply to you? Is there a specific action you need to take or a confession you need to make?

P – Prayer

Finally, take time to write out a prayer in response to God’s Word. Thank God for the insights He’s given you and ask Him for His continued influence in your life.
