GPS: Grow, Pray, Study

Monday, May 11 Romans 8:1-39

  • Chapter 8 Paul begins to tell us about the glorious life that we have when we live in and through the Holy Spirit. Romans 8:5 encourages us to set our minds on things of the Spirit. Spend some time meditating on things of the Spirit.
  • Life can feel overwhelming and too much to handle. In those times words to pray often fail us, but the Spirit intercedes for us in groans. How can you feel the Spirit’s strength in times of weakness?
  • As you set your mind on things of the Spirit and wait for the Spirit’s strengths, relish in this reality: Nothing can separate you from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord!

Tuesday, May 12 Romans 9:1-29

  • In chapter 9, Paul is addressing God’s stance towards Israel now that salvation is for everyone. He seems to be addressing complaints that God is not fair. Do you ever feel like God isn’t fair to you? Spend some time praying for those who are less fortunate than you.
  • Hopefully we can find comfort knowing that God says in Hosea, “Those who were not my people I will call ‘my people,’ and her who was not beloved I will call ‘beloved.’” What do these words mean to you?
