I suppose that, in that day, Rome was the most famous place on the planet and there was a general sense of, “Even when I am not in Rome, I want to do as the Romans.”
It is no wonder, then, that Paul writes to the church there that [Romans 1.8], “Your faith is proclaimed in all the world.” And then he tells them that he always prays for them.
I have people who tell me that they pray for us every day.
Wow.
Every day is a lot of consistency!
It blows my mind.
I do not know how they manage that, but it seems that they got the idea from Paul.
I am grateful for your prayers.
