There is a lot going on in today’s reading in Acts 8. I continue to be amazed at the boldness of the apostles even in the shadow of potential persecution. The apostles showed incredible faith in God’s protection, and more importantly, God’s plan for their lives. They accepted God’s will even if it meant ultimate death. We must always look to God’s plan for our lives and accept the overall picture. God never promised to let us know why, He simply asked for our trust in Him.
