Bible in 90 Days :: Day 12 SOAP reflection

The Bible in 90 Days reading for Friday, October 7 is Numbers 21:8 - Numbers 32:19.

Daily SOAP devotional:

Scripture: Numbers 22:38 - 

"Well, I have come to you now," Balaam replied. "But I can't say whatever I please. I must speak only what God puts in my mouth."

Observation

: The entire reading for today contains some of the strangest stories in the Bible. The verse that spoke to me most comes from the crazy story of Balaam. Not sure what to make of the Balaam story without a bit more study.

Application: The words, "I must speak on ly what God puts in my mouth" spoke to me as a pastor. Every week I preach and try to have something worthwhile to say. I seek to speak God's word to the good people of Wray. I desire to speak only the words God would have me speak.

Prayer: Father, help me guard my tongue and be wise with my words. Do not allow my words to be swayed by pressure from others or inappropriately influenced by the culture. Let me speak your words. Amen.
