“So then, those who suffer according to God’s will should commit themselves to their faithful Creator and continue to do good.”
‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭4:19‬ ‭NIV‬‬

When you stand up for God there will be those who try to knock you down. You don’t have to encounter ISIS to be persecuted for your faith. Sadly there are church members who will try to persecute you for doing what God has called you to do.

When you have maintained a close, prayerful relationship with God and have stayed in his word and know that you are in his will, don’t be discouraged or afraid. God is with you. Others may come against you, but this is merely a distraction technique choreographed by the devil himself.

So cling to God, commit yourself to Him and continue to do good. He will take care of the rest!
