Don’t Do Life Alone!

S. O. A. P. Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional! S-cripture: Ecclesiastes 4:9 Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor. O-bservation: King Solomon reminded all of us that two are better than one. He then proceeded to go through a list of examples of two people benefitting each other. If one falls, the other can pick them up. If two lie down together, they can keep each other warm. One person can easily be overpowered, but two can defend themselves better. It’s obvious that the king was insisting, “Don’t Do Life Alone!” A-pplication: I have two immediate thoughts concerning this...

Sometimes You Need to Be Alone

S. O. A. P. Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional! S-cripture: Luke 4:42a At daybreak, Jesus went out to a solitary place.

His closest relatives, in his estimation, had left him (indeed his ten children had been killed) and his best friends had forgotten his name. He was "ALONE."

No Other HOPE

S. O. A. P. Here's your 90 second AM devotional! S-cripture: Psalm 119:147 I rise before dawn and cry for help; I have put my hope in your word. O-bservation: Imagine King David, probably the richest man on the planet at the time. Imagine the number of fighting men at his beck and call. Imagine servants twenty-four hours a day. With all that in mind, these are the words of a desperate man. He was a Sovereign King, yet he felt so alone, so needy, that he would rise before dawn and cry to God for help. His only hope was in God. A-pplication: When you consider...
