S. O. A. P. Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional! S-cripture: 1 Kings 4:20 The people of Judah and Israel were as numerous as the sand on the seashore; they ate, they drank and they were happy.

FAITH=RIGHTEOUSNESS

S. O. A. P. Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional! S-cripture: Genesis 15:6 Abram believed the Lord, and he credited it to him as righteousness. O-bservation: Abram had no son, but he had a promise from God that his offspring would match the number of stars in the sky. When he believed that promise, God said Abram was a righteous man.

S. O. A. P. Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional! S-cripture: Genesis 22:2 Then God said, “Take your son, your only son, whom you love—Isaac—and go to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on a mountain I will show you.” O-bservation: Abraham was an old man when God asked him to “Take Your Only Son And Sacrifice Him.” Abraham had an older son named Ishmael by his wife Sarah’s handmaiden, Hagar. Ishmael was blessed, but God did not recognize Ishmael as the promised son God would give Abraham. The promised one was Isaac, and now God was asking Abraham to...

Only Through Faith

S. O. A. P. Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional! S-cripture: Romans 4:13 It was not through the law that Abraham and his offspring received the promise that he would be heir of the world, but through the righteousness that comes by faith. O-bservation: When God promised Abraham that he would become the heir of the world, Abraham didn’t accomplish it through work ethic or law-abiding. No! It was “Only Through Faith.” When Abraham believed for a promised son, he moved forward by faith, and God blessed him with a son at one hundred years of age! A-pplication: Now don’t get me wrong, it will require work...
