The POOR Will Rise Again

S. O. A. P. Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional! S-cripture: 2 Kings 25:12 But the commander left behind some of the poorest people of the land to work the vineyards and fields. O-bservation: This, of course, is the story of what Nebuchadnezzar’s eventual takeover and destruction of Jerusalem looked like. The prophets had prophesied it was on the way, and it happened. After Jerusalem was destroyed, including the burning of Solomon’s temple and the destruction of the walls surrounding the city, they left the poorest of the Israelites to work the vineyards. They slaughtered or carried the rest away to Babylon. A-pplication: When one reads the...

S. O. A. P. Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional! S-cripture: 2 Kings 24:9 He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, just as his father had done. O-bservation: This passage of scripture is speaking about King Jehoiachin of Judah, the son of King Jehoiakim. Jehoiakim was the son of King Josiah, who was one of the holiest kings in the history of Judah. It’s hard to fathom how Jehoiakim could stray so far from the ways and teachings of his godly father, but he sure did. When God had him destroyed, his son Jehoiachin ruled in his place. But he was evil, just...

Go With God!

S. O. A. P. Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional! S-cripture: 2 Kings 23:22 Neither in the days of the judges who led Israel nor in the days of the kings of Israel and the kings of Judah had any such Passover been observed. O-bservation: King Josiah’s associates had found the Book of the Law in the temple in Jerusalem. It had been lost for so long. All of the people of God had forgotten its mandates.  When Josiah’s leaders read the law to him, he heard his name read, which had been prophesied 300 years earlier in 1 Kings 13:2 by the Man of...

Desperation Counts With God

S. O. A. P. Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional! S-cripture: 2 Kings 19:19 Now Lord our God, deliver us from his hand, so that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that you alone, Lord, are God. O-bservation: Sennacherib, the Assyrian king, had sent his messengers to give a message to Hezekiah, the King of Judah. The message was a threat against God himself. He ridiculed Hezekiah and the armies of Judah and demanded that they surrender before Sennacherib would come with his soldiers to destroy the people of God. This prayer is the conclusion of Hezekiah’s prayer to God Almighty. A-pplication: In my life,...

When You Do RIGHT!

S. O. A. P. Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional! S-cripture: 2 Kings 15:34 He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, just as his father Uzziah had done. O-bservation: The person being discussed in this passage is King Jotham, the son of King Uzziah. Uzziah was one of the greatest kings in Judah’s history. He ruled and reigned in Judah for 52 years! Along the way, he was also a good father because the son who took his place also did what was RIGHT in God’s eyes, just like his father Uzziah had done. A-pplication: I was thinking this AM of all the...
