I am stuck in Romans 15 again, but my attention has just been drawn to several aspects of God's grace found in this chapter.
He is said to be the
- God of endurance (5)
- God of encouragement (5)
- God of hope (13)
- God of peace (33)
According to
one of best resources I know on the subject, we can legitimately substitute "who produces" in the place of "of" in the phrases above.
So, then we have a
- God who produces endurance
- God who produces encouragement
- God who produces hope
- God who produces peace
Sounds like exactly what I need. A God who works in me and on me as I follow Him. A God who changes me from the inside out. A God who sees my woeful lack of being able to produce internally anything of lasting result.
I think I know how God desires me to pray today!
