Monday – Gospels and Acts
Reading – Acts 14 (Note: Last week I accidentally did this week’s chapter, so this is last week’s).
Highlight Verses:
“When the apostles learned of it, they fled to the region of Lycaonia—to the towns of Lystra and Derbe and the surrounding area. And there they preached the Good News.”
Acts of the Apostles 14:6-7 NLT
You might think it was terrible how much violent opposition Paul and those with him encountered as they spread the Gospel.
Notice, if there wasn’t opposition, they might not have covered as large of an area.
When the opposition grew violent, it forced them to move on. Eventually, they covered the entire region.
When we encounter opposition, it might be time to move on.
Granted, they stayed until the opposition turned violent.
If opposition reaches that level today, that doesn’t necessarily mean failure. It may signal the beginning of a new opportunity.
Have you ever had to deal with violent opposition?
We’re you able to find another opportunity in the midst of the opposition?
