Romans 11-14
“And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.” Romans 11:6
Lord, though I have accepted Thy salvation by grace through faith alone…it seems that when it comes to the way that I live my life daily, I work with the expectation that You will honor the things I do, yet they are for the most part without faith. How then can I expect You will honor the works that I do? I have some tough decisions to make and Lord I pray that I would make them based upon the truth of Thy word and on the faith that through Thy grace, you will use my life for Your honor and glory, no matter the manner in which You use me.
“Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.” Romans 12:9
Lord, I desire to live as this verse states, but I, like Paul seem always to do that thing which I would not and not do the thing that I would. It is a thorn in my flesh and I am so weary of. Lord forgive the slackness of Thy servant and help me as I attempt to move forward for Thee.
