Romans 1:10 Meaning and Commentary

Romans 1:10

Making request, if by any means now at length
A principal thing, which be incessantly and importunately requested at the throne of grace, was, that he might have an opportunity of coming to them; that God in his providence would open a way for him; and that he might have a safe and comfortable journey in a very little time; all which he submits to the will of God, as a good man ought to do; and which he thus expresses,

I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God, to come unto
you;
see ( James 4:13 James 4:14 ) .

Romans 1:10 In-Context

8 I thank God through Jesus for every one of you. That's first. People everywhere keep telling me about your lives of faith, and every time I hear them, I thank him.
9 And God, whom I so love to worship and serve by spreading the good news of his Son - the Message! - knows that every time I think of you
10 in my prayers, which is practically all the time, I ask him to clear the way for me to come and see you.
11 The longer this waiting goes on, the deeper the ache. I so want to be there to deliver God's gift in person and watch you grow stronger right before my eyes!
12 But don't think I'm not expecting to get something out of this, too! You have as much to give me as I do to you.
