Obviously

S. O. A. P. Here's your 90 second AM devotional! S-cripture 1 Timothy 5:25 In the same way, "Good Deeds" are OBVIOUS, and even those that are not OBVIOUS cannot remain hidden forever. O-bservation In the previous verse the Apostle Paul writes that a man's sins precede him. It's OBVIOUS, and those who try to cover their sins will be found out in time. Now in this passage, it's true conversely that "The Good" a person does is OBVIOUS to all. And when a person’s "GOOD" is not immediately known, in time it will become OBVIOUS. A-pplication Most of us want our lives to count for "Good...

A Youthful Example

S. O. A. P. Here's your 90 second AM devotional! S-cripture 1 Timothy 4:12 Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young. But set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in faith, and in purity. O-bservation Once again the old man of God, Paul, speaks to the young man of God, Timothy. He encourages him not to let anyone look down on him because of his youth. And the way to counteract people’s judgment is to be an example in every category of life.

S. O. A. P. Here's your 90 second AM devotional! S-cripture 2 Chronicles 17:10 The Fear (Holy Respect) of The Lord fell on all the kingdoms of the lands surrounding Judah, so that they did not go to war against Jehoshaphat O-bservation The word of God under King Jehoshaphat was read and taught by the Levites throughout Judah, to the point that the fear of The Lord, the power of The Lord, and the anointing of The Lord was upon all Judah.

If YOU Will … GOD Will

S. O. A. P. Here's your 90 second AM devotional! S-cripture: 2 Chronicles 12:7a When the Lord saw that they humbled themselves, this word of the Lord came to Schemaiah: "Since they have humbled themselves, I will not destroy them but will soon give them deliverance." O-bservation: Rehoboam was the son of King Solomon and followed his father as king over Israel. His father was the wisest man who ever lived, however Rehoboam was one of the dumbest. Go figure.

You Can Go FIRST

S. O. A. P. Here's your 90 second AM devotional! S-cripture: Philippians 2:3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather in humility value others above yourselves. O-bservation: Arrogance and personal agendas are denounced in this passage by St. Paul. Instead, as "Followers of Jesus" we are called to humble ourselves and honor others, not "certain others" but people in general above ourselves. A-pplication: The average person can spot a kiss-up from a mile away. And the only ones who can't are other kisser-uppers. This was not and is not the Jesus way. The person who has his or her own personal agenda is usually...
