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. "FAITH=RIGHTEOUSNESS." A-pplication: This passage in Genesis is repeated throughout the Bible. Psalms, Romans, Galatians, Hebrews, and James all reference this passage. Why? When a man or woman decides to have FAITH in God, immediately God imputes RIGHTEOUSNESS to them. Yes this is only the beginning of...

Dead Weight

S. O. A. P. Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional! S-cripture: Genesis 13:14 The Lord said to Abram after Lot had parted from him, “Look around from where you are, to the north and south, to the east and west.” O-bservation: This verse follows Abram’s separation from his nephew, Lot. Abram had taken his nephew out of Harran with him out of the goodness of his heart when Abram’s father, Terah, passed away. He had already been called of God and had heard God promise to make of him a great nation. But still, Lot had nowhere to go once Abram left for Canaan’s land....

Never Settle For Second Best

S. O. A. P. Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional! S-cripture: Genesis 11:31 Terah took his son Abram, his grandson Lot son of Haran, and his daughter-in-law Sarai, the wife of his son Abram, and together they set out from Ur of the Chaldeans to go to Canaan. But when they came to Harran, they settled there. O-bservation: This story occurred while Abram’s (aka Abraham’s) father Terah was still alive. It’s not as if Abram had a choice in the matter, for in those days, the Patriarch of the family made those kinds of decisions. The scripture says they set out for Canaan, but they settled in Harran. It may...

Me FIRST

S. O. A. P. Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional! S-cripture: Genesis 13:11 So Lot chose for himself the whole plain of the Jordan and set out toward the east. The two men parted company. O-bservation: Abram had been gracious enough to take his nephew Lot with him to the new land God had promised him. God blessed and prospered Abram, and that blessing spread to Lot. Each of them developed large herds of sheep and employees to watch over them. But in time, Lot’s men began to quarrel with the men of Abram. Abram finally told his nephew they would have to split their...

It Sounded Good At The Time

S. O. A. P. Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional! S-cripture: Genesis 16:2 So she said to Abram, “The Lord has kept me from having children. Go, sleep with my slave; perhaps I can build a family through her.” O-bservation: In the previous chapter, God and Abram had a discussion, and Abram reminded God that although God had promised to build him into a mighty nation, he still didn’t have a son. Undoubtedly, Abram had shared his conversation with the Lord with his wife, Sarai. Now we read that Sarai had an answer to their dilemma. She told Abram to sleep with her servant girl,...
