This week's scripture, taken from the first chapter of Philemon, was written by Paul while he was imprisoned for the sake of preaching in Jesus' name. He wrote this letter to his dear friend, Philemon, who was also preaching ("communicating" or sharing v.6) in Jesus' name. Paul wanted to encourage his dear friend as he preached that his words would be "effectual" or fruitful for the cause of Christ. We see Paul's words in verse 4 to Philemon saying, "I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers." Just as Paul cared for his dear friend as he preached the Gospel, this particular scripture would be a tremendous blessing to any preacher in your life. What a blessing to remind them that you are praying for them, and that you appreciate what they are doing to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with a lost world. Paul was in prison saying "I thank my God", so surely we who are free, can be as thankful for those in our lives who boldly bring forth the Gospel for the sake of Jesus Christ.
