Wednesday:
Philippians 2:18-30
This morning I found encouragement while reading about
Epaphroditus. The people knew that Epaphroditus had been sick and Paul wanted
the people to know that God had mercy on Epaphroditus and Paul. The verses tell us that Epaphroditus was sick
and came close to death “for the work of Christ”. That last verse is where I
found the most encouragement and instruction this morning.
Verse 30: “Because
for the work of Christ he was nigh unto death, not regarding his life, to supply
your lack of service toward me.”
I ask myself, What have I sacrificed for the work of
Christ? Do I just give up sometimes when
I am tired, sick, weak? I am reminded to
find my strength in Christ, and continue working for Him. Reminded to continue working for Him in the
way I have read about the past few days.
For in nothing be ashamed, with boldness, magnifying Christ in my body
(Ch.1, V.20), And with other believers being likeminded, being like Christ, a
servant, with the humility of Christ.
