Men and Women Dragged off to Jail


"Saul just went wild, devastating the church, entering house after
house after house, dragging men and women off to jail. Forced to leave
home base, the followers of Jesus all became missionaries. Wherever
they were scattered, they preached the Message about Jesus. ... Many
who could neither stand nor walk were healed that day. The evil
spirits protested loudly as they were sent on their way. And what joy
in the city!" Acts
 
Life is full of struggle. Things just don't go as planned. I wonder
why we even bother planning. Maybe life would be less frustrating if
the plan for life was to create no plan. Then when struggles come our
way, our plan is not disrupted. We would be able to more easily adapt
to the circumstances.
 
Let me look at your life and tell me if this isn't true. One day, you
chose to follow God. You rejected the evil of the world. Then, all
hell broke loose. Literally! You had to choose. Do I continue to
follow God or do I return to the evil I just ran from. Some do. Some
don't.
 
Choosing God. Life's plans completely changed. Maybe you were thrown
out of your house, job, family or whatever, but life as you knew it
before Christ totally changed. In the midst of this dramatic
struggle, you fell deeper in love with God. Circumstances no longer
mattered or controlled your plan. You were free.
 
"The evil spirits protested loudly that day as they were sent on their
way. And what joy there is in your life." Acts
