Daily Devotional - Romans 15:5

Romans 15:5 Now may the God of patience and comfort grant you to be like-minded toward one another, according to Christ Jesus,

In the same way Christ came to bear our burdens, Paul instructs us to bear one another’s burdens. In this new life with Christ, God has given us the grace to overcome our obstacles and be there for each other. With this understanding, Paul says we should be like-minded toward one another extending grace and mercy. My prayer for us all is to walk humbly recognizing we all have shortcomings and need patience and comfort as we navigate our Christian journey. I pray we rely on the Spirit of the Living God to will and work in us to glorify God as we each grow and mature in our faith through the Scriptures so we might have hope. In the merciful name of Jesus, I pray, amen. (James Thomas)
