Episode 179 - God Had Mercy on Him

Weakness is something most of us try to avoid.We prefer to be strong.Capable.Independent.We don’t like admitting when we’re exhausted.When we’re hurting.Or when we simply cannot carry the weight any longer.Yet throughout Scripture, God often meets His people in places of weakness rather than strength.Paul has been telling the Philippians about Epaphroditus, their faithful messenger.Now he reveals just how close they came to losing him.His illness was not minor.His life hung in the balance.But in the midst of that frightening season, Paul saw something deeper than recovery alone.He saw the mercy of God.
