Hello, my friends and welcome back to the morning mindset.

Are you ready?

Are you ready to get your mind aligned with the truth of God?

Let's just take a moment, let out that deep breath, release that tension you're feeling

about the day, and give everything to the Lord right now so you can clear your heart in

your mind and dig into his word, here he is voiced through the truth of Scripture and

begin to re-center your thoughts and your feelings and your very being around that truth.

That's our need.

That's really what we need this morning.

Let's go.

Let's look at Romans chapter 15, we're going to look at verses 22 through 24 today.

The Apostle Paul has been writing about his ambition to take the gospel to places where

it has never gone before, so the people who don't know about Jesus can learn about him.

And at verse 22, this is what Paul writes.

This is the reason why I have so often been hindered from coming to you.

Now stop for a moment, what is it he's talking, what reason?

Well, he's just talked about his desire to teach Christ where he's never been heard of

before.

And that's what Paul has been doing.

It's like open doors keep opening up in front of him, even though he's been wanting to

go to Rome and to finally meet these believers who he's heard about, but he's never met

in person.
