Your Work for God Matters More Than You Think — Romans 16:7

You don't need a platform, recognition, or a well-known name for your work for Christ to matter. Junia's brief appearance in Romans gives us a powerful reminder.

Some of the people we know the least about in Scripture can still teach us something important about what it means to faithfully serve God. 🕊️ Grow Closer to God with Our Journals • The Daily Devotional Bible Study Journal: • The Daily Devotional Prayer Journal: 🎁 Download a Free Bible Study Resource 💌 Get the Daily Devotional Weekly Wrap-Up! In Romans 16:7, Paul introduces us to Junia alongside Andronicus.

Although we are given only a brief glimpse of her life, we learn that she had shared imprisonment with Paul, was spoken of highly by him, and had become a follower of Christ before Paul himself. Junia doesn't receive the biblical attention of Ruth, Esther, Deborah, or Mary.

But that doesn't mean her contribution was insignificant. And that gives us an important reminder for our lives today.

We can easily associate visibility with importance. We see the people with large platforms, audiences, titles, or public ministries and assume that their work must matter more.

But you don't need a platform to have a purpose. Your prayers matter.

Your service matters. Your encouragement matters.

Your willingness to share Christ matters. Your obedience matters.

You may never have a large audience or receive much recognition for what you do for Christ. But God can use faithful people whether everyone knows their names or hardly anyone does.

Don't underestimate the part God has given you to play in sharing the gospel and serving His Kingdom. 📖 Scripture: Romans 16:7 (NIV) 💗 Support this ministry: 👕 Shop Faith-Based Apparel & Gifts: 🎙 Podcast: Apple: Spotify: Purchases through applicable Amazon links help support Daily Devotional Ministries at no extra cost to you.
