Day 22: Acts 21-26 Opening Reflection
Being Bound…Doing the work of the Lord will always lead to being bound by chains literally and figuratively, being persecuted, and being in opposition to the majority of society’s beliefs and culture.
When doing the work of the Lord, unfortunately you are going to need a defense like Paul. His defense was: “All I am doing is believing in Jesus Christ, The Resurrection, and following what the Bible says.
Paul also understood that as he completed the work of the Lord that God would also have his Back. Just like Paul formerly Saul, we have done many things adverse to the will of God and hurtful to the mission of the Lord. But similar to Paul, by GRACE & MERCY we have come to know the Lord…!
I would suggest, however, that if you know the Lord then you have no choice but to do the work of the Lord.
DO YOU REALLY KNOW THE LORD?
