Ithobal

S. O. A. P. Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional! S-cripture: Ezekiel 28:5 By your great skill in trading you have increased your wealth, and because of your wealth your heart has grown proud. O-bservation: The King of Tyre, whom the Lord is coming against in this text, was actually a man named Ithobal. He evidently had many skills in international trade and it caused him to be overwhelmed with PRIDE. A-pplication: Ithobal represents any modern day Ronald, Sarah, Larry, or any other Tom, Dick, or Mary who fails to keep PRIDE in check. No doubt PRIDE has been the stellar component of every man and woman's...

Be Strong In The Lord

S. O. A. P. Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional! S-cripture: Ephesians 6:10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. O-bservation: Ephesians is loaded with Good News of the Grace of God. It's also filled with direction on how to live and bless one’s family.

O-bservation: When Solomon led the dedicatory prayer in the new temple he had built for the Lord, he asked the Lord to always hear the prayers of His people. Even more than that, Solomon asked the Lord to "Hear And Forgive." A-pplication: Isn't church always the place where our sins come to light? Face it, that's why most people don't go.

Here’s What To Do When FEAR Comes Knocking

S. O. A. P. Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional! S-cripture: Psalm 56:3 When I am afraid, I put my trust in you. O-bservation: King David had one antidote for FEAR. He said, when praying to the Lord, "Whenever I feel afraid I put my trust in YOU!" A-pplication: I know this sounds like a trite and, for sure, simple fix. But let me assure you that it's not trite and it's not so simple. First, what David said is TRUE. When your trust is in the Lord, the fear leaves in an instant. Second, it's not simple because Jesus paid a heavy price on the cross...

You Have To!

S. O. A. P. Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional! S-cripture: Mark 6:46 After leaving them, he went up on a mountainside to pray. O-bservation: On one of the BUSIEST days in Jesus’ earthly life, he ended it by getting away to pray. A-pplication: It wasn't enough that Jesus had met earlier in the day to console his disciples, most likely on the death of his cousin John the Baptist. It wasn't enough that they had to evacuate the scene to a quiet place as crowds were approaching. It wasn't enough that they were followed there and they had to leave by boat. And, it wasn't enough...
