Ephesians 1:15
“That’s why, when I heard of the solid trust you have in the Master Jesus and your outpouring of love to all the followers of Jesus, I couldn’t stop thanking God for you—every time I prayed, I’d think of you and give thanks.”
“Ever since I heard of your strong faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for God’s people everywhere, I have not stopped thanking God for you.”
I should be more thankful for my fellow believers, the body of Christ. They shore me up by prayer and encouragement and have been a pillar of my faith. Paul’s outburst of delight in the Ephesians puts me to shame. God has blessed me with tried and true friends in the faith who have walked with me through many a trial. I will praise and thank God for them more often and more fervently.
Lord, your faithfulness has come to me through my friends and other fellow believers. Thank you for this. Remind me often through my day to give thanks for them, pray for them.
