Beholding the Glory of God


  •  Read Romans 8:28-33 (God the Father)


            1.         What is the Father aiming to accomplish in you “in all things” (see                                             verse 29)? His goal is your utter transformation. In what ways do you trust His plan and faithfulness?

            2.         If He is helping you become like Jesus “in all things,” how will this                                              impact your thoughts and longings? What if you were able to face                                             your current trial with the mind of Jesus? How would your response                           be different?

Read Romans 8:33-39 (God the Son)

            1.         What is Jesus doing on behalf of the saint (see verse 34)? How are you                                  comforted that Jesus is interceding for you at this time?

            2.         As a result of His completed work on the cross, what are you now                                             promised (see verses 35-39)?

Read Romans 8:26-27 (God the Holy Spirit)

            1.         What is the Spirit doing for you in your weakness (see verse 26)?

            2.         What do you think about the Spirit praying perfect prayers for you on your                                behalf (see verse 27)? Speak to Him from your heart. He is listening.

Meditation:

            Romans 8:26-39 exhibits that the entire Trinity is working on your behalf right now. The entire Godhead is committed to loving you, changing you, and sustaining you. Think on these things. Spend the next few minutes praying and considering God’s love, favor, kindness, patience, and faithfulness towards you. How has He strengthened you in your suffering? How has He been faithful to forgive when you sin? What blessings has He provided for you today? Have you enjoyed a good meal recently? How does this express God’s kindness towards you?
