Jesus gave believers a different example. Jesus was willing to suffer as he lived a faithful life. He kept on going. He was looking forward to the joy of being with God his Father. “Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord.” ‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭12‬:‭14‬ ‭NIV‬‬

I pray that you have a good start to our 4th of July weekend.

Rather than asking God to remove the opposition, they prayed for boldness. God often strengthens us more than He changes our circumstances. ~ “Now, Lord, consider their threats and enable your servants to speak your word with great boldness. Stretch out your hand to heal and perform signs and wonders through the name of your holy servant Jesus.” After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly.” ‭‭Acts‬ ‭4‬:‭29‬-‭31‬ ‭NIV‬‬
