This passage struck me last night as I was at home doing my budget and praying for the Eteam. I believe God put it on my heart, as I was working numbers on a spreadsheet. I put the entire chapter on play from ESV online audio, but this morning this passage struck me with an "inexpressable and glorious joy"
Romans 10:1- 4
Brothers, my heart's desire and prayer to God is that they may be saved . I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God but not according to knowledge. For being ignorant of the rightouesness that comes from God, and seeking to establish their own, they did not submit to God's rigteousness. For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.
The end of righteousness. I began to pray for some of my unbelieving friends, that they would not seek to establish a righteousness according to their own devising, even as some proclaim to know God and could have a passion for him, but they do not know Christ. Oh Lord I pray for myself that I would not seek to do what the law recquires but rather seek what Christ recquires of me, a righteousness found only in him, and as Philippians says "a righteousness from God that depends on faith". Yes Lord may I depend solely on you oh God!
