       But it must be doing something if Epaphras spends so much time at it. That’s what Paul has witnessed anyway, and has partaken in himself. And we note that Epaphras wasn’t only spending time in prayer for his own church, but also for the churches in Laodicea and in Hierapolis. We haven’t even likely heard of this second church. But it’s interesting to note that, even though he wasn’t the pastor of these churches, that he nonetheless prayed for the believers at the churches in those cities. It rings in the verse that Paul spoke to the Philippians believers, when he stated, “Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others” (Philippians 2:4, ESV). That’s interesting; that’s interesting. To show interest not only for what we want but also for the wants of others. That truly is self-less. Thus, it’s time well spent, paying tremendous dividends, and still yet if we don’t directly see them.
