S. O. A. P.
Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional!
S-cripture:
Numbers 23:20
I have received a command to bless; he has blessed, and I cannot change it.
O-bservation:
Balaam was a wicked seer who had been paid by Balak, the king of the Moabites, to curse Israel. Israel had been on a winning tear of defeating every enemy in its path. Balak thought if he could get a religious man to curse Israel, they could then be defeated. Balaam bit on the money, but God wouldn’t let him curse Israel. Instead, he blessed them. He said to Balak, “God has blessed them and I cannot change it!”
A-pplication:
God gave all of us, His people, the prescription for His continual blessing in our lives in Deuteronomy 28:1-14. When we follow this course, no one can reverse the blessing of God upon us. The Bible further declares, “No weapon formed against you shall prosper.” That includes a false prophet that lays some mumbo jumbo on you. You are a child of God, and as you walk in humble obedience to Him, no lie from hell can take your blessing! Sickness can’t, depression can’t, job loss can’t, lack can’t, and loss of friends can’t. Why? Because everything that happens to you in a negative way is a test for something better that’s about to come your way. Don’t ever listen to the lie of the enemy if you are a child of God. Let me make it very clear again today … “You Are Blessed And No One Can Change It!”
P-rayer:
Dear Jesus,
This AM, I’m so thankful for Your promised blessing in my life. And I am a witness to Your faithful word to me. With Your help, I will never be bought! Amen
