Grace for your spirit September 18, 2008

And I intreat thee also, true yokefellow, help those women which laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and with other my fellowlabourers, whose names are in the book of life. Philippians 4:3 KJV

The Apostle Paul writes to his fellow workers to seek for peace and harmony. They have been "yokefellows", working together for the gospel of Christ, and he appeals for their unity. Jesus invites us to take His yoke, and then seek to be yoked together with His children. Paul noted that his fellow workers had their names written in the book of life. Can we say the same for our fellow workers? The Bible says we can’t walk with anyone unless we are going to the same place, and an ox can’t work in the same yoke with a mule. May we choose the yoke of the Lord and His children every day, and help those who are in the yoke with us to have peace and harmony.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
