    Prayer Wednesday

    May all who seek you rejoice
    And be glad in you;
    May those who long for your
    Saving help always say,
    “The LORD is great!”

    But as for me, I am poor and needy;
    Come quickly to me, O God.
    You are my help and my deliverer;
    LORD, do not delay.

    We know all the right answers:

    • “God is good all the time; all the time, God is good!”
    • “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.”
    • “For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.”
    • “May all who seek you rejoice and be glad….”

    All right answers and true, yet sometimes things feel different:

    • “I am poor and needy.”

    That’s also true and honest.

    You may be out in front of the marching band these days—it’s all sunshine and blue skies in your part of the world. Or you may be a bit beat up, or even desperate.

    The LORD of all heaven and earth is our help and our deliverer. “Call to me in the day of trouble,” He says (Ps. 50). He is never far from the wounded and brokenhearted.

    LORD do not delay!

    Leaning into His arms 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.

    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.
