Romans 15:5 “May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had,” We all know the acronym WWJD. We have bracelets, tattoo’s, necklaces and sometimes clothing which display these letters—or should we say the thought these letters project. Isn’t WWJD a constant thought every Christian has as his/her walk on this earth continues? Each one of us wants our Savior’s thinking to constantly dominate our thinking.

Romans 15:17 “For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of rightrousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.” A Christian’s heart is focused on serving His Savior and bringing His Spirit into our very shallow minded world. What you eat today is immaterial. How you live and who you represent in your daily walk in of utmost importance. As the child of our God we represent Him every second of the day. That is quite a responsibility–we need His help. We pray for our Holy Spirit to guide us. Have a great weekend.

Romans 14:8 “If we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.” If you are reading this devotion you are breathing and therefore living. Some day neither you nor I will be breathing or living on this earth, but we will be living with the Lord. Breathing or not you and I belong to the Lord. Doesn’t that statement dictate our being and our joy and comfort in being children of our Heavenly Father? We live to serve our Savior.

Romans 13:14 “Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the flesh.” You and I have to continually fight against our own thinking. We have to constantly ask our Savior to help us do His will and not our own. That sounds like a simple concept, however, our human nature makes it an absolutely necessary mindset. We pray that our minds always follow His will and not our own.

Romans 12:12 “Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.” Christians thrive with a confident mentality of absolute trust in God and His promises. Even though being a Christian will not eliminate heartache and disappointment on this earth, yet a strong, loving relationship with our God will include conversing with Him very regularly. What a marvel it is to communicate with God with the absolute assurance He carefully listens and responds.
