S. O. A. P.

Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional!

S-cripture:

1 Thessalonians 3:8

For now we really live, since you are standing firm in the Lord.

O-bservation:

For St. Paul, to move from just living to “Really Living” meant that his faith was being reproduced in other people. Because the people of the Church at Thessalonica were standing firm, Paul was “Really Living.”

A-pplication:

When our sons were little, my wife and I were concerned about two things. First, were they physically healthy. Second, were they maturing from boys to men in their FAITH. I can tell you that in our home there was never real peace until the latter concern had been satisfied. When the children were standing strong in their FAITH, their Mother and I were then … “Really Living!” For every believer, “It’s Time To Really Live!”

P-rayer:

Dear Jesus,

I pray this AM for my friends who are new in the faith to be strengthened to the point that they “Stand Firm In Jesus!” Amen
