Wisdom For The Mature

S. O. A. P. Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional! S-cripture: 1 Corinthians 2:6 We do, however, speak a message of wisdom among the mature, but not the wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. O-bservation: St. Paul began this first letter to the church at Corinth by arguing for the wisdom of God, which was considered foolishness to the people. He said we speak a message of "Wisdom For The Mature," but not for this world or the people who are leading it. Paul said they're coming to NOTHING! A-pplication: Wisdom from God is certainly the only...

OUT and STABLE

S. O. A. P. Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional! S-cripture: Psalm 40:2 He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. O-bservation: Here King David describes what it felt like to be delivered from all his sin and shame by the Lord. He said he felt like he had been in a slimy pit of filth.

The Only Boast That Matters

S. O. A. P. Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional! S-cripture: Galatians 6:14 May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. O-bservation: In writing to the people of Galatia, Paul the Apostle was reminding them of those who had reverted to pharisaical ways of promoting the law. In fact, he said the people who are boasting are boasting about how many of You they've gotten to go through the act of circumcision. Of course this act was an outside act of the flesh to signal one’s...

He Brought You Out From Something

S. O. A. P. Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional! S-cripture: Deuteronomy 26:8 So the Lord brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm, with great terror and with signs and wonders. O-bservation: Here Moses recounts how the Lord brought the enslaved Israelis out of Egypt with divine terror and signs and wonders. A-pplication: We are living in the 21st century, and for those of us living in the western world we are living in freedom for the most part. But each and every one of us have had our issues with being in some kind of bondage to sin. If, like...

Dressed Up In Jesus

S. O. A. P. Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional! S-cripture: Galatians 3:27 For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. O-bservation: This is an interesting passage inasmuch as earlier texts reveal that prior to Jesus we were dressed in the law. St. Paul, the writer, says that the law was like our guardian. But now that we've been baptized in Christ, we are in effect "Dressed Up In Jesus." A-pplication: So much of our outside apparel speaks to the kind of person we are. It's not always true, but for the most part that's the way it works. What we're...
