God’s love, which is stronger than death, is causing me to continue walking the path of the mission the Lord has given me (John 6:1–15). “At that very time some Pharisees came and said to Him, ‘Leave this place and go somewhere else. Herod wants to kill You.’ He replied, ‘Go tell that fox, “I will keep driving out demons and healing people today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will reach My goal.” In any case, I must press on today and tomorrow and the next day—for surely no prophet can die outside Jerusalem! Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were not willing. Look, your house is left to you desolate. I tell you, you will not see Me again until you say, “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord” (Luke 13:31–35). ...
Those who envy and
oppose us will do whatever they can ...
The
other two governors and officials,
who
could not find any fault with Prime Minister Daniel,
believed
that unless it involved Daniel's religion,
they
had no way to find any wrongdoing
on
his part and bring charges against him.
Therefore,
they went to King Darius and said,
"All
the governors, satraps, administrators, advisors,
and
officials of the kingdom have consulted together
and
agreed to request that the king establish a decree and enforce a law."
They
requested that a decree be issued stating,
"For
the next 30 days, anyone who petitions any god or man
besides
the king shall be thrown into the lions' den"
(Daniel
6:4-7).
As I
reflect on this passage,
it
occurs to me that those who envy and oppose us
(for
example, anti-Christians) will do whatever they can
to
find fault with us, either by accusing us of wrongdoing
or by
posting it online to try to bring us down or even bury us socially.
However,
if we are living our work, church, or family lives so well
that
they cannot find any fault or wrongdoing,
they
will certainly try to find a way
to
attack us through our Christian faith.
