Daily Bible Reading – April 2020 God’s Life-Giving Word Of HopeMuestra

  

April 30

Introduction

Chapter 15 ushers in the conclusion of Paul’s letter to the Romans. He encourages Christ followers not to please themselves but to act in ways that edify the community of believers. He explains that the Good News is for Jews and Gentiles. 

Today’s Scripture: Romans 15:13

May God, the source of hope, fill you with all joy and peace by means of your faith in him, so that your hope will continue to grow by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Today’s Reading 

Romans 15:1-13

Reflect

What words of encouragement does Paul give the believers in Rome? Why is building up one another in faith important to Paul? In what ways does your community of faith build up one another? What words of encouragement and hope can you bring to someone today?

Pray

God of hope and love, teach me day by day what is written in the Scriptures. Grant me patience to study your Word, and fill me with joy and peace so that, by the power of your Holy Spirit, I continue to grow in faith. Amen.

Prayer Concern

Those who are without hope
