S. O. A. P.

Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional!

S-cripture:

Matthew 24:44

So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.

O-bservation:

Jesus gave His Disciples a series of signs that would signify His soon and triumphant return to earth. Just before He concluded, He said that they, and we, should be ready at all times because no one knows the exact hour He will return.

A-pplication:

Over two thousand years have passed since Jesus made this statement. Even in the Church’s darkest hour, there has always been a remnant of Believers who have taken this passage to heart. The idea that I will “Stay Ready” is to live every day with a heart filled with expectation that this could be the day. It’s not a matter of saying I’m a Follower of Jesus, it’s more of a total “All In” witness to the world around you that you’re ready for anything Jesus calls you to. Why? Because this could be the day, and this could be the very hour, He returns. There will always be those who say, “Well that’s a bit outdated.” And it’s easy to understand such an opinion because the days in which we live are so completely “High Tech.” However, no matter the elevated technical state and time in which we live, for me it’s a matter of security. I choose to … “Stay Ready.”

P-rayer:

Dear Jesus,

Because of Your Grace, I’ve been blessed to have lived for You for a long time. Each and every day there has been a moment where I thought … this could be the day. I’m so happy that You have helped me “Stay Ready.” Amen
