Paul said to the elders of the church at Ephesus, " 'See, now I go bound in the spirit to Jerusalem not knowing the things that will happen to me there, except the Holy Spirit testifies in every city, saying that chains and tribulations await me. But none of these things move me, nor do I count my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy....' "
Acts 20:22-24a
Paul was so in love with Jesus and so committed to the Gospel that no sacrifice was too great. He was willing to put his life on the line and would not be moved from finishing the race God had set before him. Later, he wrote, "I count all these things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord" (Philippians 3:8). He did not know all the challenges that he would face but was determined to finish his race with joy. Oh, that I would have such a vision of Jesus.
Today's Thought: Love for Jesus will see us through whatever lies ahead.
Have an "unmoved" day. Love you.
