17Therefore I glory in Christ Jesus in my service to God. 18I will not venture to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me…
Jesus, it is obvious that everything Paul did in his life that was not done for You, he counts as nothing. Only his service to You mattered at all. Will I ever be like that? Is there ever any chance that I …
14I myself am convinced, my brothers, that you yourselves are full of goodness, complete in knowledge and competent to instruct one another. 15I have written you quite boldly on some points, as if to remind you of them again, because of the grace God gave me 16to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles with the priestly duty of proclaiming the gospel of God, so …
8For I tell you that Christ has become a servant of the Jewsb on behalf of God’s truth, to confirm the promises made to the patriarchs 9so that the Gentiles may glorify God for his mercy, as it is written:
“Therefore I will praise you among the Gentiles;
I will sing hymns to your name.”c
10Again, it says,
“Rejoice, O Gentiles, with his people.”d…
7Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God.
Jesus, you did accept me when I was a mess. You brought me back from a life of serious sin and despair. What right do I have to even wish for one minute that someone else would change so I would get along with them better. You have surrounded me with great people, …
5May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you a spirit of unity among yourselves as you follow Christ Jesus, 6so that with one heart and mouth you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Jesus, please, I need this so bad. I struggle to be of one spirit with my wife and children, more-less the church in general. I want to be …
4For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.
Holy Spirit, I need some hope today. You know how my son is struggling. His future looks so dark. Thank-you for Your Word and its promises and it truly does bring hope now. I know his future can be so bright, but …
1We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak and not to please ourselves. 2Each of us should please his neighbor for his good, to build him up. 3For even Christ did not please himself but, as it is written: “The insults of those who insult you have fallen on me.
Lord, I don’t know if I am strong, or weak. After all …
22So whatever you believe about these things keep between yourself and God. Blessed is the man who does not condemn himself by what he approves. 23But the man who has doubts is condemned if he eats, because his eating is not from faith; and everything that does not come from faith is sin.
Everything that is not from fiath is sin – You have confirmed what I already …
19Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification. 20Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food. All food is clean, but it is wrong for a man to eat anything that causes someone else to stumble. 21It is better not to eat meat or drink wine or to do anything else that will cause your …
16Do not allow what you consider good to be spoken of as evil. 17For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit, 18because anyone who serves Christ in this way is pleasing to God and approved by men.
Jesus, help me to live in “righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit”. I …
