Quitting
Acts 14:19‑20 • 1 min. read • grade level: 3
Having stoned Paul, [they] drew him out of the city, supposing he had been dead. . . . And the next day he departed with Barnabus to Derbe.
Sometimes we get the feeling that it’s not worth the hassle; we might as well give up. Perhaps you might have thought that you didn’t have the Lord’s mind in a certain thing because things didn’t go right. The Apostle Paul was stoned and thought dead. But he got up, walked into the city, and the next day continued on his journey as if nothing had happened. He would not give up. God had work for him to do and do it he would. Don’t quit in the work of the Lord, young person. Keep going. It’s worth it.
