S - 7 For none of us lives to himself, and no one dies to himself. 8 For if we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or die, we are the Lord’s.
O - Paul is talking about not condemning their fellow Romans if they choose to eat certain foods or if they abstain from certain foods. When it comes down to it he says that whether or not you choose to eat the food or not they are to do it for the Lord because their life is for the Lord either way.
A - There are many things in life that I don't have the answer for and if I don't hear specifically from the Lord on these issues I may never know the answer. However, as Paul states, I am to live my life for the Lord and these things then don't matter as He knows that I don't have all of the answers. I am to be a vessel of hope and love and joy for others to see and to ask "what got into him?". I want to do amazing things for the Lord. I want to serve Him everyday of my life through everything that I think, say and do.
P - Dear Heavenly Father. You are truly amazing and worthy of every ounce of praise! Thank you for blessing me life with a tremendous family, tremendous home, and tremendous life. Help me to daily look to you for answers and to think, say, and do what you've called me to do to serve you and your kingdom. I lay my life before you and ask for your wisdom and guidance as to how to best serve your kingdom. Help me to be the husband and father that my family needs and desires. Forgive me when I have failed in this and sinned in other areas. I thank you for your forgiveness and your covenant that you made with Abraham and that carries over to me. Help me today to stay away from any temptations. You are awesome Lord! In Jesus' name I pray.
Amen
