S. O. A. P.
Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional!
S-cripture:
Isaiah 17:7
In that day people will look to their Maker and turn their eyes to the Holy One of Israel.
O-bservation:
Isaiah, the Prophet of God, saw a day coming when Israel, after being totally ravaged by their enemies as a result of their own waywardness from God, would finally turn their eyes back on their Maker.
A-pplication:
Verses like this always cause me to turn my eyes homeward. I usually leave the context of the day in which the prophecy was originally made and look at how it affects us today in our own setting. As I look at how my own homeland has been ravaged by sin and a turning from God in my lifetime, I can only wonder what it will take for “That Day” that Isaiah prophesied to finally come to my own country. I pray! You pray! The CHURCH says it prays, yet the state of our nation is hanging in the balance. This is not just the writing of a church elder standing on the sidelines throwing rocks! No! My family and I are still in the middle of the battle. And … we will not quit! However, I long to see the pendulum begin to swing back in the direction of REVIVAL. So today I’m asking the Lord, “Is That Day Here Yet?”
P-rayer:
Dear Jesus,
I’m praying this AM for “That Day” to come quickly. I’m praying that I, along with my friend, will live to witness a nationwide revival swing back to the column known as “RIGHTEOUSNESS.” Please, Jesus. Amen
