Scripture

Romans chapter 10 and 12

Take away verses (Verses that jumped out at me) Rom. 10:9-10, 10:15 12:14-15 12:21

Observation/Application

I was reading today and in Romans 10:14-15 I saw the incredible reminder of what God has called me to do, the passage goes like this, “How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, ‘How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!’  that was 10:14-15 and10: 17 says, “So faith comes by hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.” Wow, I can’t even explain how much that one sentence “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news” means! Like my feet are gross, my wife calls them alligator feet. But when there are people who need to hear who God is, so they can believe or people who need to be sent, it takes a person willing to put God above themselves and also God’s love of the lost! There are people who haven’t heard the love of God and they need obedient believers to be those “beautiful feet” and deliver the word. The world is broken and lost, they need to hear so they can believe. Faith comes by hearing and it’s not talking about hearing the latest gossip but THE WORD OF GOD! I would love to see lost people saved every day, but how if I’m not willing to help them hear the word. It’s an awesome reminder that we are called to live out loud and share our faith.

Romans 12:9-21

“Let Love be genuine” it really says it all in this one verse. Let your love be real, Jesus loved us and gave His life for us, so I could turn that and say to love is to be a good person who looks out for others or who even lives a Christian life where I am a good person. But if I want to let my love be truly genuine, one where I love as Christ loved then I would be compelled to be a passionate, dynamic believer who didn’t settle for a regular Christian walk but wanted more. It’s all about dying to self and living for Christ. In this we show true love, because we will be loving like Christ did even to the point of death. Imagine that a group of believers stopped putting life first and began walking in what Christ intended! Power, authority, and love.

Prayer

Lord bring me to a new level of passion, one that will elevate me to a true love with you and others. You were and are dynamic in your actions, proving to be the almighty God through your love and supernatural and divine works. I want to walk closer to you so that your characteristics rub off on me. You say the feet of someone delivering the word are beautiful, and I pray for the strength and compassion to continue to bring your word to those who need it. Your will not mine to be my concern, is my hearts cry, Lord, continue your transforming work in me. I lift you up because your worthy to be praised.  Be honored with my life Lord, and move on our city and in our hearts to bring revival to us. In Jesus name, amen.
