Yesterday we read a bit about Epaphroditus, a mutual friend of Paul and the church in Phillipi. Let’s pick up where we left off.
Paul asks the church at Philippi to give Epaphroditus a good welcome – with love and great joy and with the honor he deserves. What do you imagine their hospitality to him was like? What are some of the things they may have done to welcome him back? How do you practice hospitality with your neighbors, church friends, and special guests?
Practice: Who do you know who is risking their life (or unconcerned about the personal consequences) for the sake of serving Jesus? Say a prayer for them today.

About this Plan
Though he was captive in prison, Paul was captivated by Jesus. That makes him the perfect mentor for any of us who yearn to live with joy and contentment in spite of our troubles. During the Joy Rules reading plan, we'll trek through Paul's writings in the book of Philippians in search of the always-present, ever-accessible joy Jesus offers.
