Fog Warning ...Do not be afraid...I am with you... Acts 18:9-10 NIV When you out yourself as a Christian, its the rejection of friends and family that hurts the most. It can put a fog over your faith. And in the middle of that fog the last thing you want to do is keep telling others about what a huge part of your life Jesus is. When Paul tried to share his new faith with his old friends, They opposed him. (Acts 18:6 NKJ) It seems like Paul was so stung by their rejection God had to encourage him, saying, Do not be afraid...I am with you, and no one is going to...harm you. BUT. Yeah, BUT... Something fairly amazing happens when we get serious opposition. In Psalm 23:5 NLT, David said, You prepare a feast for me in the presence of my enemies. You honour me by anointing my head with oil. My cup overflows with blessings. Whats he saying? That when enemy fire reached point-blank range, God set up an all-you-can-eat buffet bar. Uh... what? In the times when we feel ourselves most under fire, God doesnt just reassure us, He gives us a double-whammy of His presence and His blessings. And He describes it as a feast. The very time you feel you want to give up could be the time you most need to wait on God.
