S. O. A. P.

Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional!

S-cripture:

Psalm 44:8

In God we make our boast all day long, and we will praise your name forever.

O-bservation:

David was the greatest King in Israel’s history, and this verse may tell you why. Any boasting on his part was offered directly to God. He said, “I and all of my people make our boast in the Lord ‘All Day Long,’ and we will praise YOUR name forever!”

A-pplication:

I have acquaintances who spend “All Day Long” telling those around them, including me, how lousy they’ve got it. They start with their lousy family. They soon move on to their lousy job, which of course leads to how broke they are because of the selfish boss they work for. Sometimes, I just want to look them in the face and say, “Stop! Why don’t you turn it around? Instead of complaining and griping and throwing blame all over the place, just STOP! Stop and start giving God some praise. When you praise Him SOME … you’ll start praising Him MORE … which will turn into praising Him a lot … which will finally turn into praising Jesus “All Day Long!” I actually know people who praise Jesus “All Day Long.” They’re some of the happiest people I know. It works! I’m sure you already are, but if you’re not I encourage you to start praising Jesus … “All Day Long!”

P-rayer:

Dear Jesus,

This AM, I’m beginning the first day of the rest of my life. With that in mind, I will begin anew by praising You … “All Day Long!” Amen
