S. O. A. P.

Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional!

S-cripture:

Psalm 94:19

When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought me joy.

O-bservation:

King David had arrived at a place in his life where his personal “Anxiety Levels” were extremely high. In his hour of distress, God came and consoled the King. Not only did the STRESS leave him, but David said his JOY returned.

A-pplication:

Let me just mention a few things this AM and see if you can relate. The rent is due. The kids need to get to the dentist. The pain in your stomach is troubling. Your boss doesn’t seem happy with your work lately. The car needs tires. Your mother is very ill and needs constant care, there’s little money, but she’s really hurting. For some reason your spouse has had to work late at night. And it just keeps building. Has there ever been a time in your life that your “Anxiety Levels” were at an all time high and you didn’t know if you could go another day? I’ve been there. Most adults have faced that in their life at one time or another. Here’s the truth from God’s Word today. If you’re in some kind of crazy “STRESS,” get ready for the Lord to come at any moment and CONSOLE you! I’ve learned to trust the consolation of our great God. And guess what? Your joy WILL return!

P-rayer:

Dear Jesus,

Well, it’s happening again. The STRESS is building. But this AM I’m on the lookout for Your CONSOLATION! I know it’s on the way. I’m thanking You in advance. Amen
