daily reading 20.3 (Romans 11:22–24)

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


Our opening prayer for today:

        Be now our Joy on earth, O Lord,
        And be our future great Reward.
        Alleluia! Alleluia!
        Then, throned with you forever, we
        Shall praise your name eternally.
        Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!

        O risen Christ, ascended Lord,
        All praise to you let earth accord.
        Alleluia! Alleluia!
        You are, while endless ages run,
        With Father and with Spirit One.
        Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Amen.
  

Romans 11:22–24

  • Therefore, consider God's kindness and severity: severity toward those who have fallen but God's kindness toward you— if you remain in his kindness. Otherwise you too will be cut off.
  • 23 And even they, if they do not remain in unbelief, will be grafted in, because God has the power to graft them in again.
  • 24 For if you were cut off from your native wild olive tree and against nature were grafted into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these—  the natural branches—  be grafted into their own olive tree?
Romans 11:22–24




For yourself pray:

  • That you believe all that God is telling you by his Spirit in his Word

For others pray:

  • That God brings Jewish people in your area to faith in his Son

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

  • Psalm 74 (YouTube, duet, "Arise, O God, again")

5-days-a-week through Romans and the letters Paul wrote from Rome in 2024 Our opening prayer for this week:      Jesus, lead us on, Till our rest is won.      And although the way be cheerless      We will follow, calm and fearless.      Guide us by your hand.      To our fatherland.      If the way be drear, If the foe be near,      Let not faithless fears o’ertake us.      Let not faith and hope forsake us,      For through many a woe      To our home we go.      When we seek relief From a long-felt grief,      When temptations come alluring,      Make us patient and enduring.      Show us that bright shore      Where we weep no more.      Jesus, still lead on, Till our rest is won.      Heavenly Leader, still direct us,    ...

Alleluia!      The strife is o’er, the battle done;       Now is the victor’s triumph won;      Now be the song of praise begun.  Alleluia!      Death’s mightiest powers have done their worst,      And Jesus has his foes dispersed;      Let shouts of praise and joy outburst.  Alleluia!      On the third morn he rose again      Glorious in majesty to reign;      Oh, let us swell the joyful strain!  Alleluia!      He closed the yawning gates of hell;      The bars from heav’n’s high portals fell.      Let songs of praise his triumph tell.  Alleluia!      Lord, by the stripes which wounded you,      From death’s stin...
