Even If It Kills Me

S. O. A. P. Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional! S-cripture: Revelation 12:11b They did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death. O-bservation: John the Beloved saw in his vision a group of Warriors who rejoiced when Satan was cast down out of heaven. They were so committed to Jesus that they lived with a mentality that said, "Even If It Kills Me, I'll follow Jesus." A-pplication: I don't see this kind of commitment in my country very much. I see young people who really want to have FUN praising Jesus and hanging out. But to say, "I'll follow Jesus Even If It Kills...

My Path Is Secure

S. O. A. P. Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional! S-cripture: Psalm 18:32 It is God who arms me with strength and keeps my way secure. O-bservation: The greatest King of all time was David of Israel. In this passage, he acknowledged why he was such a winner. He said, "It is God who arms me with strength." A-pplication: Certainly the king was speaking in military terms in this text; however, we take it this AM to speak of our need for security. Strength is much more than just physical.

The Four Corners

S. O. A. P. Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional! S-cripture: Psalm 89:14 Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne; love and faithfulness go before you. O-bservation: Here King David laid out "The Four Corners" of our Heavenly Father's rule. Love and Faithfulness proceed the Lord, and Righteousness and Justice are the foundation upon which His Kingdom stands. A-pplication: "The Four Corners" of our Father's rule is what makes the gospel so attractive. Our God's Love and Faithfulness gives a person hope that they really are accepted into the family of God. However, Righteousness and Justice means God treats all of us without preference. If...

I’m God’s Child, And So Are You

S. O. A. P. Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional! S-cripture: Galatians 4:7 So you are no longer a slave, but God’s child; and since you are his child, God has made you also an heir. O-bservation: The Apostle Paul wrote to the Galatians, who were in jeopardy of giving up all the grace they had received from Jesus in return for their "old law" nature. Here the Apostle says the old law was not for freedom but for bondage. It was really a form of slavery. When Jesus came, however, we were set free. We're no longer slaves, but God's children. A-pplication: Sure parents rule, but...

He Kept Going

S. O. A. P. Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional! S-cripture: Matthew 14:14 When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them and healed their sick. O-bservation: Jesus had just heard that John the Baptist, his beloved friend, and cousin, had been martyred by King Herod Antipas. Immediately the Bible says that Jesus retreated to a place of solitude in a boat, but the crowds had heard where he was and followed him. When his boat reached the shore, there were so many hurting people, then Jesus began to heal the sick. Since there was no time to mourn the loss...
