Grace for your spirit July 17, 2013

Grace for your spirit
So they went out from the presence of the Council, rejoicing that they had been considered worthy to suffer shame for His name. And every day in the temple and from house to house, they kept right on teaching and preaching Jesus as the Christ.  Acts 5:41-42

Let's give these disciples a standing ovation. Through great persecution, they not only rose above it, they excelled.  They prayed, they preached Jesus, they wrote letters to convert and encourage, and when persecution came, they were thankful that they could suffer shame for His name.  What is there on that list that we could also do, if we had the faith and set our mind to it.  It doesn't take miracles to have this kind of faith.  Some are starting to think it would be a miracle if anyone did have it.  Let's not just endure our walk with Him, let's excel.
