One interesting thing about the apostles
was that they did not allow any circumstance to deprive them of their joy. They
were rejected and persecuted; yet they remained resolute and they were not even
discouraged. In Acts 5:34-42 they
were beaten up and even charged not to speak in the name of Jesus. "But they
left the presence of the council,
rejoicing that they were counted worthy to
suffer dishonour for the name. And every day in the temple and at home they did
not cease teaching and preaching Jesus as the Christ." Even with all the
beatings and charges the enemies brought against the disciples, they still had
reasons to rejoice. Child of God, will surely rejoice! No matter what you are
passing through in life, no matter the attacks and charges the enemies are
bringing against you, nothing shall take away your joy. You shall rejoice
forever in Jesus name - Amen!
