Paul is constantly traveling and feeding others the fruit of the Spirit. From Macedonia and Achaia, to Rome and Jerusalem, he never stops. This gives us the image of a man who is completely devoted to God. This also gives us the image that God's work is never done. Even though you are surrounded by Christians day after day, there are billions of people in the world who has yet been saved lest heard of the Gospel. Will these people become saved if no missionaries reach them?
But that is not the point of this passage. Paul acts because he knows that God calls him to spread the word to other nations. And as Christians, we must take Paul as an example and be like him. Spreading the truth of the Gospels is doing God's work and it brings him glory. I need to be like Paul, but I lack wisdom as a missionary as well as a leader. I will continue to pursue God and pray for wisdom so that I can do His work.
Amen.
