Their Faith Was Spoken Of

 Paul is a great example of a man who always tried to encourage and edify the saints, while ensuring that he did not compromise the truth of the gospel of grace. Paul knew that He had been called to make known how great among the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery: "Which is Christ in you, the hope of glory."
 So, God's chosen apostle of the Lord, who was called to declare to Jew and Gentile alike the wisdom of God (which had been kept hidden glory before time began), and the glorious destiny to which we have been called, opened his scriptures to these believers with grateful thanks to God through Jesus Christ for them all. Paul thanked God that Their Faith Was Spoken Of throughout the whole world.
 May we adopt this attitude of humility in the work to which God has called us, and thank God that He is building His Church and that we are granted, by grace, to be fellow-laborer's in His vineyard.
First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is being reported all over the world.

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You that we are new creations in Christ and that You have placed us in the corner of Your vineyard for Your good pleasure, and gifted us in the work that You would have us to do. Keep us from imagining that we are the only real laborers You have called to witness and work to Your praise and glory. Help us to rejoice in the work that you are doing in the lives of so many believers in so many ways. Help us to be encouragement to others in the work we do and the words we say, to Your praise and glory. In Jesus' name we Pray, AMEN.
