S. O. A. P.

Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional!

S-cripture:

Ezekiel 11:5

Then the Spirit of the Lord came on me, and he told me to say: “This is what the Lord says: That is what you are saying, you leaders in Israel, but I know what is going through your mind.

O-bservation:

The Lord was about to bring judgment on Israel and it was partly because of the leaders who were saying one thing but really in their heart they were committed to something else. The Lord said, “Here’s what you’re saying, but I know what you’re thinking.”

A-pplication:

Everything we are thinking, God already knows. He knows all of our thoughts. So if God knows what we’re thinking but our words are following a different pattern of thought, who are we kidding? I’ve heard some people say, “Well you have to say what is ‘Politically Correct.'” But isn’t it more important to say what is “Biblically Correct” from a heart of compassion? There’s an old adage that says … “Say what you mean and mean what you say!” Every “Follower of Jesus” is being called in these critical days we’re living in to sound a clear word. One removed from compromise and fully given over to the Will of God. After all, “God Knows What We Know.”

P-rayer:

Dear Jesus,

I know that You were the best diplomat in the history of the world when it came to answering Your critics. In fact Your answers were forthright and baffling to those who challenged You. Help me be like You in this regard, because I know You know what I know. Amen
