Jesus Please Come Quick
S. O. A. P.
Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional!
S-cripture:
Psalm 38:22 Come quickly to help me, my Lord and my Savior.O-bservation:
We really don't know what was happening to King David at this time. What we do know is that he was petitioning the Lord to come quick! He needed help NOW!A-pplication:
Have you ever just needed Jesus right NOW?! Maybe it it was a child who was deathly ill or a neighbor who just wouldn't stop taunting you. Perhaps the bills piled up to the point that you were in jeopardy of losing your house. Could it be there was a diagnosis that left you asking, how long do I have to live? The list could go on and on, but have you ever been there before? Have you ever just had to say, "Jesus, Please Come Quick"? The truth is, this great King David was at that place at this time. When he asked for help, QUICKLY, he concluded by acknowledging his LORD and SAVIOR. The word Lord says, “You're totally in control of me Jesus.” The word Savior says, “No one but You can Save me Jesus.” Guess what happened? The Lord saved David over and over again. That's what Jesus is ready to do for you today!P-rayer:
Dear Jesus, Thanks for Your continued quick help and salvation in my life, over and over again. Amen

You’re Special
S. O. A. P.
Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional!
S-cripture:
Deuteronomy 14:2 For you are a people holy to the Lord your God. Out of all the peoples on the face of the earth, the Lord has chosen you to be his treasured possession.O-bservation:
These were the words of Moses to the people of Israel not long before he would die and Joshua would lead them into the land of promise. He said, “Of all the people on the planet, You're Special."A-pplication:
Those of us who are "Followers of Jesus" are part of His Church. We believe that the New Testament Church is the Bride of Christ, and that all of the promises given to Israel in the Old Testament are given to the Church in the New Testament. The Church is made up of millions of people like YOU and ME. So in effect, Jesus is speaking to individual people today and He's saying, "I know that people have said evil things about you. I know that the enemy of your soul is always trying to destroy your faith and will to press on. I also know that you have faced many personal trials that made you question if you should even go on. That's why I want you to know, with all of MY heart, You're Special!"P-rayer:
Dear Jesus, There is never a doubt in my mind, ever, saying that You aren't in my corner or You don't love me! I'm thankful for a Savior who is always on my side. Amen

Our Call Is To Preach
S. O. A. P.
Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional!
S-cripture:
Mark 16:15 He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation."O-bservation:
These words of Jesus were His Call to ALL disciples everywhere and forever. When He commanded the first disciples to go everywhere and preach, He was also commanding you and me. It's on us NOW! "Our Call Is To Preach!"A-pplication:
This was not a suggestion; it was a command from God to His people. It wasn't segmented between the really committed and the not so committed believers, NO, this was a call to all "Jesus Followers." When our sons were small, I would pray with them each night individually and remind them that they would preach the gospel. I would then say, "I don't know what you will do for a living, but whatever it is you will use it as a post from which to preach the gospel." We have no options, we must preach, we have to preach, we will preach the Good News as long as we live. Why? Because "Our Call Is To Preach."P-rayer:
Dear Jesus, I will forever lay meddling aside and stick with preaching. I know You have called me to preach! Amen
