You’re Special

S. O. A. P. Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional! S-cripture: 1 Peter 2:9 But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.

Which Last Times?

S. O. A. P. Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional! S-cripture: 1 Peter 1:20 He was chosen before the creation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake. O-bservation: The Apostle Peter was like every other disciple of Jesus, save Judas, in this one area. Each one of them believed that Jesus would return in their time.

Get Rid Of It Today!

S. O. A. P. Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional! S-cripture: 1 Peter 5:7 Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. O-bservation: In this, St. Peter’s first letter written from Babylon to various churches throughout Asia Minor who were suffering religious persecution, he states, “If you’re going through hardship of any kind (CARES), give them to Jesus immediately because He cares for you!” A-pplication: Remember, this was written by the man who would eventually be crucified upside down for Jesus. In other words, Peter knew tribulation in his life. You don’t slide carelessly through life unscathed in any way and then out of nowhere...

Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect. O-bservation: The Apostle Peter told all of us who follow Jesus to “ALWAYS Be Ready” to give an answer as to why we have such hope when people ask us the question. But when we do give our answer, we must do it with gentleness and respect. A-pplication: What would happen if every time someone asked...
