HOLY BIBLE
Verse of the Day
Grow Closer to God and Deepen Your Faith Each Day
That I may come unto you with joy by the will of God, and may with you be refreshed.
- Romans 15:32(KJV)
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Writing to the Romans, Paul asks for prayer. He asks them to pray he would be delivered from the unbelievers in Judea so that he can come to them. Paul recognizes that whether or not he comes to them is up to the will of God. Paul hopes that he can go so that he can be refreshed. It is good to ask fellow believers to pray for you, and communing with other believers can refresh you.
My Prayer...
Holy Father, thank you for your direct involvement in my life. Thank you for the leading of your Spirit, the guidance of your Word, and the wisdom of older Christians. These have all deepened the meaning of my life and empowered my service to your Kingdom. Please give me a more profound sense of grace and joy when I am able to be with Christians wherever that may be. I know these precious members of your family are not chance acquaintances I make along the way, but are the reminders of your desire to bless me and refresh your children with your presence. In Jesus' name I thank you. Amen.
