S. O. A. P.

Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional!

S-cripture:

Luke 8:39

“Return home and tell how much God has done for you.” So the man went away and told all over town how much Jesus had done for him.

O-bservation:

Jesus had set a man free of the spiritual bondage that caused him to act like a person who was insane, with no control over his physical faculties. After he experienced Jesus’ miracle-working power of deliverance, he was next seen sitting at Jesus’ feet, clothed, and in his right mind. Jesus told him to go home and tell everyone he saw what The Lord had done for him. And that’s exactly what he did.

A-pplication:

We’re all for a great marketing campaign. Ads, TV commercials, and Internet email blasts are fine. But no amount of corporate marketing can possibly compete with what one person’s personal story of victory can accomplish. Once the product works for you, what do you do? You tell somebody. If the restaurant was incredible, what do you do? You tell somebody. What happens when your Doctor is better than all the other Doctors who have ever treated you? You tell everyone you meet about your Doctor. When you finally meet someone who can forgive you, wipe the slate of your past clean, open your blinded eyes, or heal you from cancer, what do you do? You tell everyone you meet that Jesus did it! That’s “Gods Marketing Plan: Tell YOUR Story.”

P-rayer:

Dear Jesus,

This AM I’m heading out to tell everyone I meet all about the One who set me FREE! That would be You, of course! I can’t help it … That’s my story! Amen
