Counted Worthy

Scripture:

41 The apostles left the high council rejoicing that God had counted them worthy to suffer dishonor for the name of Jesus. 42 And every day, in the Temple and in their homes, they continued to teach and preach this message: “The Messiah you are looking for is Jesus.” (Acts 5:41-42 NLT)

Reading about the apostles, the things that they did, and the things that they endured, always makes me wonder what I would do given similar circumstances. Would I just go away and not try to preach and teach anymore? Would I believe God to help me do the right thing, and trust Him for the outcome?

Lord, I want to be like that. I want to be willing to stand for You, and to believe You are there to help me when faced with opposition, or difficult circumstances. You are my God, and I love You. AMEN

I will give thanks to my Lord, for He is good! His faithful love endures forever. As I deal justly with others and do what is right, I will be happy. Psalm 106
