You, brother, have refreshed the hearts of the saints.

Scripture: Jeremiah 12-14, Philemon

"6 I pray that you may be active in sharing your faith, so that you will have a full understanding of every good thing we have in Christ." - Philemon 1:6


OAP: It's interesting how enthusiastic Paul is about his brother's love for Christ and how happy he is to hear of their successes. It reminds me of how we used to do those Moments of Grace things at day7. I miss those. Encouraging others is so important in a church community and something that helps build faith and fellowship. I want to help bring back that sort of encouragement to church and rejoice with other people when we see God working. I also like how Paul mentions himself multiple times as a "prisoner of Christ," and being "in chains for the gospel." That's so cool. Those phrases are so powerful to me, to be a slave to Jesus. Unable to escape, working only for him, living in his house day and night. Wow. aoisdfojasdoijf.

Prayer: God, chain me to your will.
