Reading from Romans Chapter 15
God of Patience, God of Hope, God of Peace
It is interesting to note that the Apostle mentioned three attributes of God, "even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ" (Rom 15:6b), in three distinct verses placed roughly at the beginning, in the middle, and at the end of the chapter, as follows:
Romans 15:5 KJV
Now the *God of patience* and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus:
Romans 15:13 KJV
Now the *God of hope* fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.
Romans 15:33 KJV
Now the *God of peace* be with you all. Amen.
Firstly, our God is the God of Patience. Let us ask Him to grant us likemindedness towards one another in the fellowship of the body of His Anointed One.
Secondly, our God is the God of Hope. Let us ask Him for the power of His Holy Spirit, that we may be abound in hope.
And finally, our God is the God of Peace. May His presence be with us always, that we may have peace.
