Devotional Reflection

LoveJoyGratitudeCompassion

Women have always played a vital role in God's work. This was notably true at Philippi, Thessalonica, and Berea, all of which were in Macedonia in the first century. The Gospel touched the lives of many of the area's most influential women in each of these locations. We know they were vital members of Lydia's missionary activity, sharing the Gospel with others around them, such as Euodia and Syntyche. Why not spend a few minutes today thanking a godly lady in your church for her contributions to you and the Lord's work?

Prayer

I give thanks to the Almighty God for holy women of faith. Make their work robust and excellent for Your honor, and bless them and their efforts. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
