daily reading 18.4 (Romans 10:11–13)

5-days-a-week through Romans and the letters Paul wrote from Rome in 2024


Our opening prayer for today:

    “I am the Vine; my Father is the Gardener.
    Each branch that bears no fruit, he cuts away;
    While every branch that yields good fruit, he trims and cleans,
    So that it will produce more every day.
    Now you are clean because of all to you I spoke.
    Remain in me; I will remain in you.
    Just as a branch without the vine will yield no grapes,
    So keep abiding in me, that you bear fruit too.

    “I am the Vine; if you, like branches, stay in me
    And I in you, you will yield much, in turn.
    Apart from me, you will accomplish not a thing,
    But be a branch that withers and is burned.
    If you remain in me, and my words stay within,
    Ask what you wish; it will be given you."
God, now be glorified in me. Let me bring forth much fruit,
Proving I am my Lord's disciple, through and through. Amen.
  

Romans 10:11–13

  • For the Scripture says, Everyone who believes on him will not be put to shame, 12 since there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, because the same Lord of all richly blesses all who call on him.
  • 13 For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.
Romans 10:11–13


For yourself pray:

  • That more and more you do not see yourself as any better/different than anyone else before God

For others pray:

  • That God makes your pastor(s) a model of calling on the Lord

A psalm to listen to and ponder, as time allows:
