"He Said What?!"

“He said WHAT?!”

Paul is a man who endured hardship. But what stands out to me is his willingness to serve God knowing full well that trouble and hardship awaited him. 

I am blessed to talk to many people. One thing that I notice is people try to avoid righteous discomfort. They have convinced themselves that a life in Christ must be a life in comfort. Paul’s words in this passage speak directly against that. He knew that as he shared the gospel, hardship awaited. 

What’s holding you back from seeking Christ wholeheartedly? Ask God to remove the comfort that keeps you “safe,” but fruitless. He will do it and the result will be you living a fruitful life in Christ. Here’s today’s Bible verse. Enjoy. 

Acts 20:22-24

22 “And now, compelled by the Spirit, I am going to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there. 23 I only know that in every city the Holy Spirit warns me that prison and hardships are facing me. 24 However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace.”
