To Glory In My Infirmities

 

Dear  Lord please be with us this day and please may Your Holy Spirit be guiding and protecting us in every thing that we say and do.  Thank You for all of the great gifts and the blessings and the protection that You have given us and please forgive our sins the same as we forgive  the mistakes of others. 

Verse 4.  But the multitude of the city was divided into two opposite parties; and some were of the same mind with the unbelieving Jews, whom they joined in desiring that these new preachers might be expelled as disturbers of the established religion, and others most cordially fell in with the apostles, whom they received as messengers from God, to guide men to true piety and eternal happiness.

Verse 3. Nevertheless God was pleased to interpose in such a manner as to prevent their rage from running presently to an extreme, and to animate his faithful servants amidst all the opposition and hardships they met with:  for a considerable time, therefore, they continued their abode there, speaking freely in {the cause of} the Lord Jesus Christ, who bare witness to the word of his grace which they delivered, and gave a variety of miraculous signs and wonders to be done by their hands, which were of service to confirm the faith of the new converts, and to prevail with many others to receive the gospel, and might have convinced all the inhabitants, if they had exercised a becoming candour.

Verse 5.  But, on the whole, the magistrates favored the contrary side; and as a violent attempt was going to be made by those who had conspired against them, both of the Gentiles and of the Jews, with their respective rulers, to injure and even to stone them as blasphemers;

Verse 6. When the project was just ripe for execution, Paul and Barnabas  having received intelligence of it, prevented the attempt by withdrawing from thence, and getting away from Iconium they fled to Lystra and Derbe, which were both cities of Lycaonia, and to the adjacent country near the borders of Cappadocia and Galatia, which were contiguous provinces. 

 2Co 12:9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

Dear Lord please be with us this day and please may Your Holy Spirit be guiding and protecting us in every thing that we say and do.

Ho 14:9 Who is wise, and he shall understand these things? prudent, and he shall know them? for the ways of the LORD are right, and the just shall walk in them: but the transgressors shall fall therein.
