Day 42

Today we start Romans! Romans can be a pretty complicated book of the Bible so read slowly and carefully. Let us know if you have any questions. We might have some ourselves!

READ: Romans 1-3

CONSIDER: Check out Romans 1: 22-24 "For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened.Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles."

When we become unthankful for what God has placed in our lives we can become foolish. When we are not thankful, we tend to act like we are God and try to create things that are more suitable to our lifestyle. This can lead to disaster as Paul explains.

ACT: Tell God how thankful you are for everything, for the good, the bad, and the ugly. Remove the things in your life that you have created because you were not satisfied or thankful with what God gave you.
