...They called the apostles in and had them flogged. Then they ordered them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go. The apostles left the Sanhedrin, rejoicing because they had been counted worthy of suffering disgrace for the Name. Day after day, in the temple courts and from house to house, they never stopped teaching and proclaiming the good news that Jesus is the Christ.
Satan used persecution to try to stop the apostles from spreading the good news of Jesus. But instead, they considered it an honor to suffer rejection for Christ's name. In the same way, when we are faithful in sharing the Gospel, hardships will come our way. Don't be surprised by them, but rejoice in them.
If Satan wants to stop you, you're doing the right thing...
[Acts 5:40-42]
