3/7 | Romans 10:14-17 | dbDevotional

Hi there! Happy Friday, my name is Alex Plyley, I am the Youth Coordinator here at Desert Breeze, and I will be leading you through today's DB Devotional. For our devotional we will be reading Paul’s letter to the Romans, discussing what it means to be a going Christian, but first we’re going to take a minute of silence for prayer. Take this moment to calm down, remove, just for a second, the distractions of the day, and connect with God. Ask the Holy Spirit to speak to you through this passage, ask Him to lead you, ask Him to give you something to take with you for the rest of the day. Let’s do that now. Let’s begin our devotional. First, we are going to read the Scripture, listen, and if you have a Bible with you feel free to read along. Romans 10:14-17 How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!” But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed what he has heard from us?” So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ. Now, we are going to move to reflection. We will re-read the same passage, but this time taking mental notes of anything that stands out to you. If you have a Bible with you, read along once again, and highlight those things. After the reading take a moment to ponder why those things stood out to you. Ask questions. Meditate. Let’s read. Perfect, we are now going to move to response. We will re-read the passage for a third time; focus on those words or phrases that stood out to you. When this is finished go to God in prayer. Talk to Him about these words or phrases. Ask Him how you can apply these things to your day. Let’s read. Good, now we are going to move to the final part of our devotional: rest. We will re-read the passage one final time. When we finish, use the silence to rest with God. Take what God has spoken to you through this Scripture, and pray it back to God. Let’s read one more time.
