As we get up and do what God would have us do for Him while living in this world, we will truly face trouble, persecution, and be shamed. However, the Lord reminds us in today's verse that we will be recompensed for our trouble. DOUBLE for our shame even! As we do His Will, we sow His Word into the lives of others and God will see to it that we reap His blessings. Therefore let's never allow anything we go through to stop us from doing what God would have us to do. Praise God for His blessings as He allows us to do His Will in the first place, and enables us to do it, and blesses us even more, beyond whatever the world can give!

Love in Christ,
Your brother,
And friend,
Michael
