S. O. A. P.

Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional!

S-cripture:

Psalm 86:15

But you, Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness.

O-bservation:

The Psalmist could only write what he knew about the Lord. He simply said that our great God is compassionate and gracious. He said He’s slow to anger and abounds in the attributes of Love and Faithfulness.

A-pplication:

Living in the western part of the world, news is readily available as it happens. So much of it, however, is biased by political opinion. You hear folks on both the Left and the Right complain about the bad press they have received from the other side. If anyone in history has been besieged by “Bad Press” from both sides, it’s JESUS. It’s the nature of the game. The truth is, there is no one who is more loving and faithful than Jesus. There’s no one you could find who is as slow to anger as Jesus. There’s no one you could find who could be more compassionate or more gracious than Jesus. So for just a minute, let’s disregard what your friends or acquaintances have said about Him. Let’s forget about a biased press on either side of the political spectrum, and for just a minute let’s clear our minds and meditate … and after a while all you can say is … “JESUS: He’s Greater Than You Think!”

P-rayer:

Dear Jesus,

This AM, as I consider You … Truly, You are more wonderful than words can possibly express. For any reason, if I have joined the bias against You in the past, I am forever sorry! You are Greater than I can possibly imagine! Amen
