I trust in God; I won’t be afraid.
What can anyone do to me?
ACTS 9:31 (MSG)
Things calmed down after that and the church had smooth sailing for a while. All over the country—Judea, Samaria, Galilee—the church grew.
THE ESSENCE
We don't have to stress out when people pushback against the Gospel because God’s protection can override any opposition.
DAILY FODDER
If God is so in charge of the situation why do so many people end up dying because of their faith in Christ Jesus?
PRAYER
I'm grateful, God, for your protection and for times of peace. Forgive us for acting as though death and opposition somehow have the final word. Help me to face pushback confident that everything is under your ultimate control and that even if I die (like Christ) it won't be in vain. I'm going to excercise my faith in you with confidence. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
