    Prayer Wednesday

    “He will judge between the nations
    And will settle disputes for many peoples
    They will beat their swords into plowshares
    And their spears into pruning hooks.

    Nation will not take up sword against nation,
    Nor will they train for war anymore.”

    On this day we pray for peace for the nations. We’re grateful for those who have served their countries in peace-keeping and peace-pursuing roles.

    Lord, we ask your kindness and healing for them, they’ve seen things humans shouldn’t see. We pray for countries where peace is still out of reach. Lord, in your mercy, settle disputes and bring justice. As we dream of a new day—where enemies are loved and forgiven, where reconciliation and peace reign instead of hatred and division—we fix our eyes on You.

    Holding our planet and its nations before our Lord with you this day.

    Andrew

    Paul never recovered from God including the Gentiles in the salvation invitation. Like some of us, perhaps, he felt like some people should be excluded by virtue of where they were born or how badly they have behaved. More than included, Paul instructs that former ‘outsiders’ should be treated as precious insiders, treated even better than we would treat ourselves. What would it look like if love came to town?

    Human beings need reminders about how to get along, and Christians are no exception. We especially need reminders about how to love each other while we disagree. Paul draws the believers' hearts and minds back to what Jesus has done, and that paves the way for loving each other well through conflict.

    How do we live with Jesus in a society that opposes him? Paul tells us to wake up to our resurrection hope. When we do that, loving others and rejecting sin in our own lives makes sense.

    Included | Romans 12

    Romans 12 is the description of what happens when God’s mercy overflows in a church’s life. Lifelong attitudes change, love becomes genuine, mocking enemies are not met with equal and opposite force but, quite the opposite, with peace and gentleness. Be praying even now for how God will speak uniquely to your small group.

    All along, we’ve been saying that God’s heart is to see us INCLUDED. That’s why Jesus came, and that’s the subject of Paul’s letter to the Romans. At times, Christians forget God’s radical inclusion of them and go back to the old patterns of competing and comparing. Sadly, that was happening in the Roman Church. Paul has one powerful dose for that sickness.

    The resurrection changed everything! The story includes an invitation, a blessing, and a commission for the first witnesses … and for us today.
