I have read the passage for today’s meditation a few times for this assignment and it never failed to evoke a sense of joy—it is just riddled with joy. “And whenever I mention you in my prayers, it makes me happy” (v.4, CEV). Paul felt so strongly about this group because they had partnered with him in spreading the Good News of salvation. They contributed practically, especially while Paul was imprisoned. As members of the body, when we help minsters, missionaries, and/or evangelists by praying, contributing financially, or in any other way, we are sharing in God’s grace. We are partners of the Gospel.
