Timothy and Epaphroditus did the work. I have no one else like him, is how Paul talked about Timothy, and he wrote this regarding Epaphroditus, honor people like him, because he almost died for the work of Christ.

Paul counted on these two men, part of a band he surrounded himself with throughout his missionary endeavors. Not everyone proved faithful, Demas comes to mind, but Paul developed a knack for picking good people.

I have people in my life I can count on. It’s humbling when I reflect upon it. Few blessings in life rise higher than people you can count on. Thank you, Lord.

I hope and I pray and I work to be a person to count on as well.
