What Hardships Do You Need To Go Through?⠀ ⠀ Acts 14:20b-22⠀ The next day he and Barnabas left for Derbe. They preached the good news in that city and won a large number of disciples. Then they returned to Lystra, Iconium and Antioch, strengthening the disciples and encouraging them to remain true to the faith. "We must go through many hardships to enter the kingdom of God," they said.⠀ ⠀ Thoughts for Today:⠀ Paul is like the "Eveready Bunny." He just keep going and going and going. One day Paul is stoned and left for dead in Lystra, and the next day he leaves with Barnabas for the neighboring city of Derbe to preach some more. Am I the only one, or do you find that amazing as well? It's not like Derbe wouldn't have heard about what happened in Lystra, so in some ways the risks had increased. I wonder how Paul and Barnabas really felt on the inside -- did they any have fear or doubt? I wonder what they talked about on the road to Derbe and over dinner that evening -- do you think what happened in Lystra came up? I wonder what they thought about and dreamed about that night -- did Paul flinch as he relived the stones hitting his body? As they got up the next morning and prepared to preach, I wonder how they imagined they would be received -- would it be with acceptance and belief or something worse?⠀ ⠀ FINISH READING HERE: https://buff.ly/31JmufZ⠀ ⠀ @OfficialIFCB #OfficialIFCB #Hardship #Paul #Barnabas #Preached #Preach #WeGoThrough #ServingGod #IsNotEasy #EndureStoning #EnterKingdom #Heaven #KingdomOfGod #SeeGloryOfGod #LordIsOur #StrengthAndCourage #HowStrongIsYourFaith #Faith #HardshipsStrenthenFaith #AreYouReady #AskTheLord #HeWillDirectAntEncourageYou #ExperienceJoyOfFaith #StickWithIt #RewardInTheEnd https://www.instagram.com/p/CEj2bZcD5FP/?igshid=oom9tstmz5rg
