Bounce Back

And there came thither certain Jews from Antioch and Iconium, who persuaded the people, and, having stoned Paul, drew him out of the city, supposing he had been dead. Howbeit, as the disciples stood round about him, he rose up, and came into the city: and the next day he departed with Barnabas to Derbe. And when they had preached the gospel to that city, and had taught many, they returned again to Lystra, and to Iconium, and Antioch, Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God. And when they had ordained them elders in every church, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on whom they believed. (Acts 14:19-23)

Thought For Today:

We must be resilient and able to bounce back when we are knocked down. We must learn how to be flexible, adapt, and overcome challenges. Paul was a man with resilience. Despite being stoned, he got back up and continued to preach about Jesus Christ in the same city. How about you? Do you bounce back and return to your original state when you are knocked down? The Holy Ghost within you is like a recoil spring. It will help you withstand anything that comes against you because the One within you is greater than the one in the world.
