S. Acts 14:19-20 (NIV) “…They stoned Paul and dragged him outside the city, thinking he was dead. But after the disciples had gathered around him, he got up and went back into the city…”
O. Paul would not be deterred. He had EXTREME FAITH. He was a RESILIENT follower of Jesus - He did not let opposition (verbal, intimidation and physical assault) stop him from sharing Jesus with others.
This is what we need to be - like Paul - to be a RESILIENT Christ follower (if you’re knocked down, you get back up) - You demonstrate Extreme Faith.
A. At times I have let “fear” or “doubt” enter into my mind and keep me from faithfully finishing what God has called me to do and what I may have set out to do. I desire, like Paul, to keep building up my faith that I might also demonstrate EXTREME FAITH - to be a RESILIENT disciple of Jesus. No matter what. I am moving forward.
P. Thank you Father for your word today- for Paul’s example. Holy Spirit fill me and guide me to greater levels of EXTREME FAITH and RESILIENCY for your honor and glory. In Jesus’ name!
