S - Romans 4:23 And when God counted him as righteous, it wasn’t just for Abraham’s benefit. It was recorded 24 for our benefit, too, assuring us that God will also count us as righteous if we believe in him, the one who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead.
O - Abraham was a man of faith and righteousness. It was recorded so that we too can be assured that God will count us as righteous when we believe.
A - At times in life I sometimes feel as though I am not living up to God's will and commands and can feel that I am not good enough to be with Him or talk with Him. These verses brings comfort to me to realize that I am righteous in God's eyes regardless of how well I am upholding His commands because Jesus was raised from the dead after dying for me and because of my faith in Him! What an awesome reassurance! This doesn't mean that I now have a free pass in life and don't need to obey or follow His commands and will. It means just the opposite. Because of the grace and "free pass" that He has given me, I should be even more driven to live a life that pleases Him to show Him my love and appreciation fro what Jesus did for me.
P - Heavenly Father, Thank you for the gift of your son Jesus Christ. I stand in awe of the amazing gift that he gave me and the love that you poured out on me and my family and everyone in the world even though you knew that we would not always live up to your commands. Help me today to live a life that makes you proud and to hear your voice and know your plans for me. You have promised that you have a plan for my life and that it will be good. Help me to stay on that path and plan. Bless my family and me today and help me to be a blessing to everyone that I have contact with today.
