Laboring Earnestly in Prayer.
Challenged this morning by the example of Epaphras in Colossians 4:12 because he was "always laboring earnestly for you in his prayers, that you may stand perfect and fully assured in all the will of God." Now there are a bunch of people whom I long to see "standing perfect/mature and fully assured in all the will of God." Question is, "Am I laboring earnestly in prayer for them to that end?" Do I realize that it is a work of God that is needed in my life and in the lives of those I care about to bring about spiritual maturity? Epaphras wasn't wimpy in his effort, but labored earnestly--with great consistency and effort. I spend a great deal of effort on far less noble causes. Lord remind me and stir me to labor earnestly for those I care about that they might grow to spiritual maturity.
