Wait On The Lord – Soap Devotions for the Week of November 7, 2022

Monday, November 7

Scripture:

James 1:2-8 (NKJV)

2 My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, 3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. 4 But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. 5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. 6 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. 7 For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; 8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

Scripture:

1 Peter 4:12-16 (NKJV)

12 Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you; 13 but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ’s sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy. 14 If you are reproached for the name of Christ, blessed are you, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. On their part He is blasphemed, but on your part He is glorified. 15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, a thief, an evildoer, or as a busybody in other people’s matters. 16 Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in this matter.

Scripture:

Psalms 25:3-5 

3 ​​Indeed, let no one who waits on You be ashamed;

Let those be ashamed who deal treacherously without cause.

4 ​​Show me Your ways, O LORD;

​​Teach me Your paths.

5 ​​Lead me in Your truth and teach me,

​​For You are the God of my salvation;

​​On You I wait all the day.

Psalms 27:14

14 ​​Wait on the LORD;

​​Be of good courage,

​​And He shall strengthen your heart;

​​Wait, I say, on the LORD!

Scripture:

Lamentation 3:24-27 (NKJV)

24 ​​“The LORD is my portion,” says my soul,

​​“Therefore I hope in Him!”

25 ​​The LORD is good to those who wait for Him,

​​To the soul who seeks Him.

26 ​​It is good that one should hope and wait quietly

​​For the salvation of the LORD.

27 ​​It is good for a man to bear

​​The yoke in his youth.

Scripture:

Isaiah 40:27-31 (NKJV)

27 ​​Why do you say, O Jacob,

​​And speak, O Israel:

​​“My way is hidden from the LORD,

​​And my just claim is passed over by my God”?

28 ​​Have you not known?

​​Have you not heard?

​​The everlasting God, the LORD,

​​The Creator of the ends of the earth,

​​Neither faints nor is weary.

​​His understanding is unsearchable.

29 ​​He gives power to the weak,

​​And to those who have no might He increases strength.

30 ​​Even the youths shall faint and be weary,

​​And the young men shall utterly fall,

31 ​​But those who wait on the LORD

​​Shall renew their strength;

​​They shall mount up with wings like eagles,

​​They shall run and not be weary,

​​They shall walk and not faint.
