Welcome to prayer devotional #40 with reference to Philemon 22, please read. The runaway slave Onesimus fled from pastor Philemon into the loving arms of Paul in a Roman prison, who led him to salvation. Isn't it a miraculous thing how when we flee something we would rather not face, the Lord knows right where we are and will use the circumstances to help us face our dilemma? Onesimus was a great help and encouragement to Paul. But Paul was sending Onesimus back to Philemon with a letter of newness, a man who was no longer a runaway slave but a brother yet a slave to the Lord Jesus Christ.
There are times when we see the world we live in as so vast and uncharted and perhaps we feel at times engulfed by those feelings. Yet our Lord knows the way through the sea and where He would like to take us. The Lord is so very aware of our soul and the souls of others. He is seeking to redeem the lost and He is aware of where his people are who will tell of His redeeming grace.
Pray for 10-10-10 and the souls of others here and across our District Churches.
