Don't give into the Distractions and Circumstances!

"Now it happened, as we went to prayer, that a certain slave girl possessed with a spirit of divination met us. "(Acts 16:16, italics added)

It was while Paul and Silas were going to prayer when they were met with the distraction from the enemy. And it was after setting this young girl free from oppression that they were put in a difficult circumstance, beaten severely and imprisoned. "But at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them" (Acts 16:25). Paul and Silas did not allow distractions and circumstances to get in the way of that which matters most, having communion with the Living God!

Keep going, and going and going...

There are times of fruit, there are times of harvesting, there are times for planting and watering, there are times to just work hard and sweat. June 1 was officially my 9th year serving in the ministry full time. The past couple weeks have been a time of digging and weeding to be honest. It is not the most fun time, but it is necessary nonetheless... As I was reflecting on this and reading the Word, searching for just one simple nugget of something, I read, and read, and read and then this verse struck me... "The former account I made, O theophilus, of all that Jesus began bothe to do and teach, until the day in which He was taken up..."(Italics added, Acts 1:1-2). Jesus just did and taught until He was taken home... God told me something simple in this small statement. Just keep on doing, and keep on teaching, until I decide your work is complete. I hope that this encourages someone who needs it!
