I Needed That Thorn

S. O. A. P. Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional! S-cripture: 2 Corinthians 12:9 But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. O-bservation: In the early part of this chapter, St. Paul spoke of how, early in his faith walk with Jesus, he had been taken up into the heavenly realms. This had happened by way of a vision. What he saw and experienced was so supernatural that he was not allowed to speak in...

We Will Boast In Our Great God!

S. O. A. P. Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional! S-cripture: Psalm 44:8 In God we make our boast all day long, and we will praise your name forever. O-bservation: David, who was the king of Israel, was also called a man after God’s own heart. He was so attuned to studying God’s ways and knowing God and loving the history of his people and how his God had delivered them time and time again, that he had learned to so depend upon the Lord so as to make this statement, “We Will Boast In Our Great God!” A-pplication: What is so impressive about this great king...

Our Only Boast

S. O. A. P. Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional! S-cripture: 1 Corinthians 1:31 Therefore, as it is written: “Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord.” O-bservation: In this passage, the Apostle Paul referenced a directive from the Old Testament prophet Jeremiah. Actually, Jeremiah was giving a command from God Himself. “If you’re going to boast, boast only about Me.” A-pplication: How quickly I’ve been challenged by the enemy of my soul to forget this command of our Lord. I’m not sure if you’re like me, but I catch myself saying things like, “I did this” or “I was able to talk him into this.”...

The Only Boast That Matters

S. O. A. P. Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional! S-cripture: Galatians 6:14 May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. O-bservation: In writing to the people of Galatia, Paul the Apostle was reminding them of those who had reverted to pharisaical ways of promoting the law. In fact, he said the people who are boasting are boasting about how many of You they've gotten to go through the act of circumcision. Of course this act was an outside act of the flesh to signal one’s...

If You Must

S. O. A. P. Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional! S-cripture: 2 Corinthians 10:17 But, “Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord.” O-bservation: St. Paul was admonishing the believers in Corinth not to measure their works against each other's. But, he said "If You Must," boast in what Jesus has done. A-pplication: Do you ever get tired of reading someone else's biographical sketch? Or, how about when you're at a dinner or conference and the main presenter is introduced? Oh man, just listening to their accolades, that most certainly they've personally written, can put a person to sleep. Of course that doesn't happen until the...
