Philemon 1:13b “…while I am in chains for the gospel.” God’s grace has so controlled Paul (the author of Philemon) that he cannot escape.  Every Christian enjoys being enveloped by the saving grace found only through our Savior’s sacrifice.  Our every movement is dictated by the phenomenal truth of God’s grace.  Worries, fear, anxiety and all typical human weakness disappears when we allow the grace of our God to bind each of us to the loving and embracing arms of our Heavenly Father.
