...prepare a guest room for me [in expectation of a visit], for I hope that through your prayers I will be coming to you.
- Philemon 1:22
Paul asks them to prepare a guest room for him...surely their prayers will cause his release from prison.
He not only speaks positively of leaving prison, but writes in hopes that he can raise their spirits.
He expressed Faith that their prayers were moving his chains and looked ahead… not down at his shackles.
The present moment can often be like Paul’s shackles, clear evidence that we cannot change our situation.
Don’t stop at your limits, but instead look to God, who is limitless.
TODAY: I will do what I can and God does what I can’t!
Greetings to you from Epaphras, my fellow prisoner here in Christ Jesus, The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Philemon 1:21
With Love,
