Ephesians 6:22 (NIV)
22 I am sending him to you for this very purpose, that
you may know how we are, and that he may encourage you.
As Paul faced the difficulties of imprisonment, he was more
concerned about the people in Ephesus than he was about himself. Rather than
keeping Tychicus close at hand for his own personal benefit, Paul sent him back
to bless the people in Asia Minor. Even in his time of difficulty and danger,
Paul was concerned more to bless than he was to be blessed. Isn't that a great
example to us today? We so often get upset about our minor inconveniences and
ruin our attitude toward everyone around us. Paul's example should convict us
and lead us to be a blessing to others regardless of our circumstances.
Thought for today:
Do I look out for others despite what I’m going through?
