Romans 15:14-16

Today I memorized 3 verses which brings me to the halfway point of chapter 15! Praise God! Your mercies are new every morning!

I myself am satisfied about you, my brothers, that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge and able to instruct one another. But on some points I have written to you very boldly by way of reminder, because of the grace given me by God to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles in the priestly service of the gospel of God, so that the offering of the Gentiles may be acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

Romans 15:10-13

Today, I memorized 4 verses that filled me with joy as I worked!

And again it is said, "Rejoice, O Gentiles, with his people."

And again, "Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles, and let all the peoples extol him."

And again Isaiah says, "The root of Jesse will come, even he who arises to rule the Gentiles; in him will the Gentiles hope."

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.

Prayer for Kypton

My cousin, Amber, and her husband, Adam, had a baby boy on October 2, 2009. Their son, only one month old now, is battling a bacterial blood infection and is hospitalized. Please join me in praying for this family. They have other children who are being cared for by family, but I'm sure it is hard on them to be separated from their mommy so much.

Pray for:

1. Healing for Kypton

2. Faith for Amber and Adam for whatever is to come

3. Physical strength as they spend so much time at the hospital

4. That God would use this for his own glory

5. And anything else that the Lord lays on your heart

Thank you for joining me! I will update as I am updated.

Romans 15:8-9

Today I memorized 2 verses and was filled with joy as I did it!

For I tell you that Christ became a servant to the circumcised to show God's truthfulness, in order to confirm the promises given to the patriarchs, and in order that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written, "Therefore I will praise you among the Gentiles, and sing to your name."

Romans 15:4-7

Today's memory work:

For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope. May the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to live in such harmony with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus, that together you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God.

Today was tough. Thank you, Lord, for your ever-present help for my weakness!
