Romans 15:14–33

February 28, 2013

1. You have all the knowledge you need.
2. You are able to teach others.

Paul told the Romans they were equipped to tell others of the Good News. We are equipped as well. No excuses. We must tell others what God has done. It is not about us. It is only about God, what He has done, and the power of the Holy Spirit guiding and directing us. Not only should we be sharing our story, we also need to be supportive of anyone who is furthering God's gospel. Paul was doing God's work, yet he understood that there would be non-believers who would try to harm him and stop God's work. Romans 15:31 - "Pray that I will be saved from non-believers in Judea and that this help I bring to Jerusalem will please God's people there."

LORD, you have called us to tell your story. Save us from those who would try to prevent your story from being told. Thank you, Lord for what you have already done and the ways you have already protected the ministries which you have given us. Lord, we ask that you bless us, and bless us indeed. Enlarge our sphere of influence. Protect us from evil and from those who wish to cause us harm. Protect us also from any selfish or prideful ways in our own hearts. May we harm no one in our actions, thoughts, or deeds. May our lives be a reflection of yours and may our lives bring honor, glory, and praise to your name. Our hearts are full of gratitude and praise to you, our Lord and Savior. Thank you, Jesus.
